Filter by:This is a prospective, observational diagnostic study aiming to assess multiparametric MRI-based clinico-radiomics for identifying lymph node metastasis status in hilar cholangiocarcinoma.
This phase II ComboMATCH treatment trial compares the usual treatment of modified leucovorin, fluorouracil and oxaliplatin (mFOLFOX6) chemotherapy to using binimetinib plus mFOLFOX6 chemotherapy to shrink tumors in patients with biliary tract cancers that have spread to other places in the body (advanced) and had progression of cancer after previous treatments (2nd line setting). Fluorouracil is in a class of medications called antimetabolites. It works by slowing or stopping the growth of cancer cells in the body. Oxaliplatin is in a class of medications called platinum-containing antineoplastic agents. It works by killing tumor cells. Leucovorin may help the other drugs in the mFOLFOX6 chemotherapy regimen work better by making tumor cells more sensitive to the drugs. Binimetinib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of the abnormal protein that signals tumor cells to multiply. This helps to stop or slow the spread of tumor cells. Giving binimetinib in combination with mFOLFOX6 chemotherapy may be effective in shrinking or stabilizing advanced biliary tract cancers in the 2nd line setting.
This prospective clinical trial aims to assess the feasibility, efficacy, and safety of a personalized radiofrequency ablation protocol coupled with complete biliary drainage for patients presenting with inoperable perihilar cholangiocarcinoma.
Bile duct cancer is often diagnosed after curative options are no longer available. Stent therapy is used to keep the ducts open and can be combined with photodynamic therapy (PDT) to extend life expectancy. PDT requires an injection of photosensitizer after which light of a particular wavelength is applied endoscopically to kill the cancer cells. Drawbacks include not only high costs and poor availability, but foremost that patients have to avoid direct sunlight for a period of weeks. Radio frequency ablation (RFA) together with stent implantation constitutes an alternative by which the cancer cells are killed through heat, also applied endoscopically. The RFA technology is more widely available and easier to deploy. However, it has not been studied extensively and no randomized trials exist comparing the two methods. This trial will compare survival in patients with a particular bile duct cancer depending on whether they receive PDT or RFA. Moreover, data will be collected on side-effects and quality of life.
A multicentre, parallel group, open label, randomized controlled trial comparing endobiliary RFA prior to metal stent placement with stent placement only in patients with inoperable perihilar cholangiocarcinoma.
This is an open-label,single center,non-randomized,single arm exploratory study. The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of PD-1 antibody plus GEMOX as postoperative adjuvant therapy in perihilar cholangiocarcinoma with positively metastatic lymph nodes.
Brief Summary: This is a multicentric, retrospective, real-world study to investigate the surgical outcomes of minimally invasive surgery compared with open surgery for Perihilar Cholangiocarcinoma (PHC), with the perioperative characteristics and long-term overall survival being compared. We aimed to find out whether the minimally invasive surgery is safe or feasible for PHC. And we also want to find out patients with what kind of characteristic can be benefit from the minimally invasive surgery compared with the open approach.
This is an interventional, prospective multicenter, open-label, phase II study in patients after curative surgery for BTC in a classic adjuvant situation, consisting of a two arm feasibility pilot part with a randomized pick-the-winner design and an option to proceed into a randomized phase 2/3 trial in order to compare the winner with the current SOC (capecitabine).
This retrospective monocentric study aims at comparing multimodality endoscopic biliary drainage versus percutaneous radiologic biliary drainage in case of perihilar malignant obstruction. Data from patients admitted in the Nancy University Hospital, France, between january 2016 and march 2022 with jaundice and perihilar obstruction will be retrospectively collected.
Biliary drainage and stent placement remains to be the main palliative treatment choice for advanced perihiliar cholangiocarcinoma (pCCA), and the life expectancy is only 4-6 months. Previous single center prospective phase 2 trial showed that hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) with oxaliplatin and 5-fluorouracil was an encouraging treatment choice for advanced pCCA due to its high tumor control, survival benefit, and low toxicity. Thus, the multicenter prospective controlled trial was designed to explore and confirm the survival benefit of biliary drainage plus hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy with oxaliplatin and 5-fluorouracil compared with biliary drainage plus best support care treatment in locally advanced pCCA patients.
