Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: Assessment of the therapeutic activity of capecitabine alone or in combination with mitomycin C in terms of progression-free survival rate at 6 months from treatment start in patients with advanced/metastatic biliary adenocarcinoma in progression after gemcitabine and platinum compounds.;Secondary Objective: 1. Assessment of additional measures of tumor control to further characterize the efficacy profile of capecitabine alone or in combination with mitomycin C. 2. Evaluation of the safety profile of capecitabine alone or in combination with mitomycin C. 3. Study of the prognostic / predictive role of proteic markers.;Primary end point(s): Progression-free survival rate at 6 months from treatment start (PFS-6 rate).;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: At 6 months from treatment start. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): 1. Progression-free survival. 2. Overall Survival (OS). 3. Objective Response Rate (CR+PR), Disease Control Rate, Duration of Response. 4. Overall safety profile. 5. Basal expression of thymidine synthase and thymidine phosphorylase in tumor.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1. Time of disease progression. 2. Date of death. 3. All treatment period. 4. All cycles, from enrollment to 42 days after last treatment. 5. At the end of the study. | — |
