Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the objective response rate between patients with advanced and metastatic biliary tract cancers treated with gemcitabine, cisplatin and S1 with gemcitabine and cisplatinTimepoint: To compare the objective response rate between patients with advanced and metastatic biliary tract cancers treated with gemcitabine, cisplatin and S1 with gemcitabine and cisplatin. Evaluate objective response rate and other measures at baseline and every 12 weekly

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. To compare Progression Free Survival (PFS) between the two treatment arms 2. To evaluate & compare 1-year overall survival (OS) in the two study groups 3. To compare the Disease control rate (DCR) between the two treatment groups 4. To assess & compare the Safety & tolerability of two treatment groupsTimepoint: 1 Year OS Time from the date of registration to death from any cause within 1-year period of time PFS Time from the date of registration to tumor progression or death from any cause whichever came first. DCR The proportion of patients with complete response, partial response, or stable disease (SD). Safety & Toxicity Profile Incidence & severity of adverse events graded according to CTCAE. Evaluate all the secondary endpoints every 12 weekly.
