Detailed description
Previous reports suggest benefit of neoadjuvant chemotherapy/chemoradiation treatment for borderline resectable cholangiocarcinoma. This study is a single center prospective phase II study of neoadjuvant chemotherapy with mFOLFOXIRI in patients with borderline resectable cholangiocarcinoma. This phase 2 trial was designed to enroll 25 patients with BRCC who were assigned to mFOLFOXIRI neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The primary endpoint was the overall response rate.
Interventions
mFOLFOXIRI consists of the following combination of drugs: 1. Oxaliplatin, 85 mg/m2, IV over 2 hours 2. Leucovorin, 400 mg/m2, IV over 2 hours 3. Irinotecan, 150 mg/m2, IV over 90 minutes 4. 5 FU, 400 mg/m2, IV bolus 5. 5FU, 2400 mg/m2, IV infusion over 46 hours after 5FU bolus injection each 14 day cycle, for 6 cycles
