Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To evaluate difference in OS at 36 months between perioperative gemcitabine-cisplatin- nabPaclitaxel (sequence of neoadjuvant Gemcitabine-Cisplatin - nabPAclitaxel followed by surgery and adjuvant gemcitabine-cisplatin) and upfront surgery and adjuvant oral CAPECITABINEand concurrent cape-RT for in operable Gall BladderCancers.Timepoint: To evaluate difference in OS at 36 months between perioperative gemcitabine-cisplatin- nabPaclitaxel (sequence of neoadjuvant Gemcitabine-Cisplatin - nabPAclitaxel followed by surgery and adjuvant gemcitabine-cisplatin) and upfront surgery and adjuvant oral CAPECITABINEand concurrent cape-RT for in operable Gall BladderCancers. Assessments will be done at baseline and after every 4 cycles

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To evaluate difference in DFS at 36 months between perioperative gemcitabine-cisplatin- nabPaclitaxel (sequence of neoadjuvant Gemcitabine-Cisplatin - nabPAclitaxel followed by surgery & adjuvant gemcitabine-cisplatin) & upfront surgery & adjuvant oral CAPECITABINE for in operable Gall BladderCancers. 1.To assess the QOL of these patients in each of these arms. 2.To evaluate differences in R0 resection rates between the two arms 3.To evaluate differences in resection rates between the two arms 4.To evaluate differences in treatment completion rates between the two arms 5.To evaluate differences in treatment related adverse event profiles between the two armsTimepoint: 36 months
