Clinical Trial Summary

This phase II trial studies how well gemcitabine, cisplatin, and nab-paclitaxel work before surgery in treating participants with high-risk bile duct cancer in the liver (intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma). Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as nab-paclitaxel, cisplatin, and gemcitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving combination chemotherapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed.


Clinical Trial Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: To assess the feasibility of therapeutic approach that includes neoadjuvant chemotherapy including gemcitabine hydrochloride (gemcitabine), cisplatin, and nab-paclitaxel for high-risk but technically resectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and is completed with surgical resection. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To assess the radiological response rate to neoadjuvant systemic chemotherapy according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST). II. To determine the R0 resection rate. III. To determine patient recurrence-free survival (RFS). IV. To identify patient overall survival (OS) rate. OUTLINE: Participants receive nab-paclitaxel intravenously (IV) over 30 minutes, cisplatin IV over 60 minutes, and gemcitabine IV over 30 minutes on days 1 and 8. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Participants with stable disease (SD), partial response (PR), or complete response (CR) then undergo standard of care hepatectomy with portal lymphadenectomy. After completion of study treatment, participants are followed up every 4 months for 3 years. ;
