Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of gemcitabine and cisplatin compared with observation treatment in patients with BTC after complete resection in terms of DFS. ;Secondary Objective: Secondary objectives are safety and tolerability of the treatment as well as OS, quality of life, function of biliodigestive anastomoses, and evaluation of the quantity and quality of information patients have gained after the informed consent as well as of the involvement of patients in the decision-making process (shared decision making).;Primary end point(s): Disease free survival (DFS);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Every three months up to 24 month | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): • Disease free survival rate at 24 months (DFSR@24) • Overall survival (OS) • Safety and tolerability of adjuvant chemotherapy • Quality of life (QoL) • Function of biliodigestive anastomosis (in terms of surgical revision, requirement for PTCD) • Rate and severity of biliary tract infections • Patterns of disease recurrence • Locoregional control ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Every three months for two years after randomization followed by 6 monthly for 3 years | — |
