NCT02181634

Brief Summary

Patients with advanced or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) who are not eligible for curative surgery, transplantation, or ablative therapies will receive nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine chemotherapy. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the combination of nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine. The effectiveness will be determined by improvement in the length of time during and after treatment, that the CCA does not get worse.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Progression-Free Survival (PFS) Rate at 6 Months (Proportion of Participants Alive and Progression-Free at 6 Months)

    Progression-free survival is defined as the time from the date of first study treatment to either the date of documented disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurred first. Progression-free survival rate at 6 months is defined as the proportion of patients who were disease progression-free and alive at 6 months. Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1), as a 20% increase in the sum of the diameter/axes of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study, or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions, or the appearance of new lesions.

    Assessed at 6 months

Secondary Outcomes (7)

  • Overall Survival (OS)

    Every 3-6 months for up to 3 years

  • Progression-free Survival (PFS)

    Every 3-6 months for up to 3 years

  • Time To Progression (TTP)

    Every 3-6 months for up to 3 years

  • Overall Response Rate (ORR)

    Every 3-6 months for up to 3 years

  • Disease Control Rate (DCR)

    Every 3-6 months for up to 3 years

  • +2 more secondary outcomes

Other Outcomes (6)

  • Change in Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs)

    Prior to Cycle 1, Day 1; Cycle 1 Day 8; Cycle 3, Day 1 and at Off Treatment

  • Stromal SPARC Expression

    Baseline

  • Fibrosis Expression

  • +3 more other outcomes

Study Arms (1)

Nab-Paclitaxel and Gemcitabine

EXPERIMENTAL

Nab-Paclitaxel 125 mg/m² IV and Gemcitabine 1000 mg/m² on days 1, 8 and 15 every 28 days until progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Drug: Nab-Paclitaxel and Gemcitabine

Interventions

Nab-Paclitaxel will be administered first, at a dose of 125 mg/m² IV over a period of 30 minutes; gemcitabine will be administered second, at a dose of 1000 mg/m² over a period of 30 minutes.

Also known as: Abraxane®, Cytotoxic Antimicrotubular, Gemzar®, Pyrimidine Antimetabolite

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Must have histologically-confirmed diagnosis of cholangiocarcinoma Stage II, III, or IV CCA (intra-hepatic, extra-hepatic and perihilar) that is not eligible for curative resection, transplantation, or ablative therapies. Tumors of mixed histology are not allowed.
  • Must have radiographically measurable disease in at least one site not previously treated with radiation, chemoembolization, radioembolization, or other local ablative procedures; a new area of tumor progression within or adjacent to a previously-treated lesion, if clearly measurable by a Radiologist, is acceptable.
  • May have received prior radiation, chemoembolization, radioembolization, or other local ablative therapies, or hepatic resection if completed ≥ 4 weeks prior to registration AND if patient has recovered to ≤ grade 1 toxicity. NOTE: Measurable disease (as required above) must still be present.
  • May have received prior radiation for bone or brain metastases if patient is now asymptomatic and has completed all radiation and steroid therapy (if applicable) ≥ 2 weeks prior to registration.
  • Age ≥ 18 years.
  • Child-Pugh score of A or B with ≤ 7 points.
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0-1.
  • Willing to provide archived tissue, if available, from a previous diagnostic biopsy.
  • Must be able to tolerate CT and/or MRI with contrast.
  • Adequate organ function obtained ≤ 2 weeks prior to registration:
  • Absolute Neutrophil Count ≥ 1500/mm³
  • Hemoglobin ˃9.0 g/dL
  • Platelets ˃100,000/mm³
  • Serum Creatinine ≤ 1.5x Upper Limit Normal (ULN)
  • Creatinine Clearance ≥ 50 mL/min
  • +18 more criteria
