Clinical Trial Summary

This is a prospective, Two-arm, comparative, randomized, controlled phase II trial, to explore the efficacy and safety of Regorafenib and HAIC vs. FOLFOX as Second Line Therapy for Advanced Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma.

Description:

Currently, complete surgical resection represents the only potentially curative treatment option for cholangiocarcinoma (CCA, including intrahepatic, hilar and distal CCA) and gallbladder carcinoma (GBCA). However,only less than 25% of patients are resectable at diagnosis and, even in this subset of patients, relapse rate is high.

Cisplatin and gemcitabine combination was identified as the standard first-line chemotherapy, yielding a median progression free survival (PFS) and median OS of 8.5 and 11.7 months, respectively. FOLFOX was the standard second-line chemotherapy. But the benefit of FOLFOX was limited.

• Renal failure requiring hemo- or peritoneal dialysis.

• Clinically significant GI bleeding (CTCAE 4.03 grade 3 or higher) within 30 days prior to start of screening

• Thrombotic or embolic events such as cerebrovascular accident (including transient ischemic attacks) within 6 months prior to start of screening.

• History of organ allograft, cornea transplantation will be allowed

• Active CNS metastases not controllable with radiotherapy or corticosteroids Visible retinal pathology as assessed by ophthalmologic exam that is considered a risk factor for RVO or CSR.

• Known history of hypersensitivity to study drugs

• Non-healing wound, ulcer, or bone fracture.

• Patients with seizure disorder requiring medication.

• Acute steroid therapy or taper for any purpose (chronic steroid therapy is acceptable provided that the dose is stable for 1 month before start of screening and thereafter).

• Substance abuse, medical, psychological or social conditions that may interfere with the patient's participation in the study or evaluation of the study results.

• Pregnant or lactating women. Women of childbearing potential not employing adequate contraception. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test performed within 7 days prior to start of study treatment and a negative result must be documented before first dose of study drug.
