Biliary Tract Cancer
Conditions
Brief summary
To validate the superiority of Gemcitabine/Cisplatin/S-1 over Gemcitabine/Cisplatin for unresectable biliary tract cancer.
Detailed description
Gemcitabine/cisplatin combination therapy (GC) has been the standard palliative chemotherapy for patients with advanced biliary tract cancer (BTC). Investigators have evaluated the efficacy and safety of gemcitabine/cisplatin/S-1 combination therapy (GCS) for patients with advanced BTC and observed the promising efficacy. In this randomized phase Ⅲ study, investigators aimed to compare GCS with GC in patients with advanced BTC.
Interventions
Gemcitabine and cisplatin are infused on day1, 8. The cycle is repeated every 3 weeks.
S-1 is given daily for 7 consecutive days and gemcitabine and cisplatin are infused on day1. The cycle is repeated every 2 weeks.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Overall survival rate | Probability of 1-year survival (%) | The primary endpoint is designated to evaluate overall survival rate at 12-month. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Response rate | Every 3 months, up to 24 months | The investigators will conduct CT test every 3 months in order to measure the tumor size of each patient and evaluate the best tumor response according to RECIST criteria. |
| Progression free survival | Every 3 months, up to 24 months | In oredr to research the progression survival, the investigators will check the presence of progression disease for each patient every three months. |
| Number of Participants with Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety | 24 months | The investigators will examine the frequency and the degree of each side effect that will appear to the patient at each course of chemotherapy . |
