Biliary Tract Cancer

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.

DRUGGemcitabine/Cisplatin /S-1

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

MeasureTime frameDescription
Overall survival rateProbability of 1-year survival (%)The primary endpoint is designated to evaluate overall survival rate at 12-month.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Response rateEvery 3 months, up to 24 monthsThe 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 survivalEvery 3 months, up to 24 monthsIn 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 Safety24 monthsThe investigators will examine the frequency and the degree of each side effect that will appear to the patient at each course of chemotherapy .
