NCT00003276 | Completed Phase 2

• 2 other identifiers: NCCTG-964252CDR0000066181
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 40
• Locations: 2 countries
• Sites: 21

Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of irinotecan in treating patients with advanced gallbladder or bile duct cancer that cannot be removed surgically.

Conditions

Gallbladder Cancer

Keywords

unresectable gallbladder cancer; recurrent gallbladder cancer

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• objective tumor response rate

  Up to 5 years

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• overall survival

  Up to 5 years

• time to progression

  Up to 5 years

Study Arms (1)

irinotecan

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients receive a 90 minute continuous infusion of irinotecan on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 for 4 weeks, followed by a 2 week rest period. Courses of treatment are repeated every 42 days. Patients continue treatment in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients are followed every 3 months for 1 year, then every 6 months for the next 4 years.

Drug: irinotecan hydrochloride
