NCT06068023

Brief Summary

Ampullary adenocarcinoma (AAC) is a rare gastrointestinal cancer with varying survival rates, particularly the aggressive pancreatobiliary (PB) subtype. Adjuvant therapy benefits only PB and mixed subtype patients, while prospective studies are required for validation. A study proposes tailored adjuvant treatments (CAPOX for intestinal subtype, FOLFIRINOX for PB and mixed subtypes) based on histopathology to enhance survival, also exploring molecular sub-studies for deeper insights.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Disease-free survival (3y)

    Disease-free survival (DFS) refers to the length of time after treatment for a disease in months, such as cancer, during which no signs or symptoms of the disease recur or progress. It is a crucial measure in assessing the effectiveness of a treatment regimen in preventing the return of the disease. In cancer contexts, DFS focuses on the period without disease recurrence or progression, highlighting the success of the treatment in controlling the illness.

Study Arms (4)

Intestinal-type ampullary adenocarcinoma intervention

This cohort consist of patients with intestinal-type ampullary adenocarcinoma who are able to receive adjuvant chemotherapy.

Drug: Capox

Intestinal-type ampullary adenocarcinoma control

This cohort consist of patients with intestinal-type ampullary adenocarcinoma who are able to receive adjuvant chemotherapy but due to logistics or patient preference, are not willing to receive adjuvant chemotherapy.

Pancreatobiliary/mixed-type ampullary adenocarcinoma intervention

This cohort consist of patients with Pancreatobiliary/mixed-type ampullary adenocarcinoma who are able to receive adjuvant chemotherapy.

Drug: Folfirinox

Pancreatobiliary/mixed-type ampullary adenocarcinoma control

This cohort consist of patients with Pancreatobiliary/mixed-type ampullary adenocarcinoma who are able to receive adjuvant chemotherapy but due to logistics or patient preference, are not willing to receive adjuvant chemotherapy.

Interventions

Patients meeting the criteria of post-operative adenocarcinoma of the ampulla of Vater will be enrolled, with adjuvant chemotherapy commencing within 8 weeks of recovery from surgery. Those undergoing palliative intent surgery or palliative chemotherapy are ineligible for the ADAPTA study. The ADAPTA study's adjuvant chemotherapy involves 8-12 FOLFIRINOX cycles (Arm 2) repeated 2 weeks. Given patient outcomes, 8 cycles of FOLFIRINOX are deemed sufficient due to completion challenges in prior research. FOLFIRINOX regimen mirrors the modified version from the ACCORD/PRODIGE trial for metastatic pancreatic cancer. This trial adapts mFOLFIRINOX for standard practice.

Also known as: leucovorin calcium (folinic acid), fluorouracil, irinotecan hydrochloride, and oxaliplatin.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 100 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

Eligible patients are adult non-pregnant patients with a good WHO performance score and have (borderline) resectable non-metastatic ampullary cancer.

You may qualify if:

  • Adult patients with histologically or cytologically confirmed AAC with subtyping of pancreatobiliary/mixed subtype or intestinal subtype
  • After curative resection for ampullary cancer without metastatic disease.
  • WHO performance status 0 or 1
  • Able and willing to receive adjuvant chemotherapy
  • R0/ R1 resection
  • Age ≥ 18 years
  • Written informed consent

You may not qualify if:

  • Prior radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or resection for AAC.
  • Previous malignancy (excluding non-melanoma skin cancer), unless no evidence of disease and diagnosed more than 5 years before diagnosis of AAC.
  • Pregnancy.
  • R2 resection.
  • Adjuvant chemotherapy started more than 12 weeks after surgery (aim to start within 8 weeks)
  • Serious concomitant systemic disorders that would compromise the safety of the patient or his/her ability to complete the study, at the discretion of the investigator.
  • Known hypersensitivity or contraindications against capecitabine, 5 FU, Irinotecan, or Oxaliplatin
  • Inadequate organ functions, characterized by:
  • Leucocytes (WBC) \< 3.0 X 109/l
  • Neutrophils \< 1.500 (count per microliter of blood)
  • Platelets \< 100 x 109 /l
  • Hemoglobin \< 8 mmol/l
  • Renal function: E-GFR \< 50 ml/min (serum creatinine \< 1.5 x UNL)
  • cholestasis with elevated levels of bilirubin and/or alkaline phosphatase \> 3x UNL (can be improved by biliary drainage if necessary)
  • elevated transaminases (ALAT/ASAT) ≥ 5 x UNL
  • +2 more criteria
