Filter by:The investigators design a prospective clinical study to explore the efficacy and safety of apatinib plus camrelizumab in pretreated patients with advanced biliary tract malignant tumors and to analyze potential biomarkers of therapeutic response.
The aim of the study is to evaluate technical, clinical and safety outcomes of lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS) with and without a coaxial double-pigtail plastic stent (DPS) in EUS-guided choledochoduodenostomies (CDS) for the management of biliary obstruction.
Phase I study of RO7119929 given orally to participants with unresectable advanced or metastatic primary liver cancers and other solid tumors with predominant liver involvement. The primary objective of the study is to explore the safety and to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or optimal biologic dose (OBD) of RO7119929 as single agent.
Hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) deliver high concentration of chemotherapeutic agents directly to the liver tumor, was proved to be effective for intrahepatic and perihilar cholangiocarcinoma. Based on the potential synergistic effect of bevacizumab, chemotherapy and PD-1 inhibitor, this phase II clinical study want to test the efficacy and safety using intra-arterial infusion of oxaliplatin, 5-fluorouracil and bevacizumab combined with intravenous infusion of PD-1 inhibitor (Toripalimab) in the treatment of unresectable biliary malignant tumors.
This phase II trial studies how well trifluridine/tipiracil and irinotecan work in treating patients with biliary tract cancer that has spread to other places in the body (advanced) and has not responded to treatment (refractory). Trifluridine/tipiracil and irinotecan may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
The term of biliary tract cancer (BTC) or cholangiocarcinoma refers to all tumors that arise from the biliary tract or the biliary drainage system, including the gallbladder. According to the data from National Cancer Information Center in 2016, annual incidence of the cancer in Korea is 6,685 (13.1 per 100,000 population) which corresponds to about 2.9% of all cancers. BTC is one of the most prognostic cancer with less than 30% of 5-year survival rate and the case with long-term survival can be possibly done with early detection of the cancer. However, most of BTC is found in advanced stages due to the difficulty of early detection, resulting in that the 5-year survival rate of the advanced BTC becomes less than 3%. More than 50% of the patients depends on Gemcitabine based chemotherapy but response rate of the chemotherapy remains around 30%. Thus, improving the survival rate with the standard chemotherapy is very limited and furthermore selection of second-line therapy is not easy. For this reason, development of an alternative therapeutic agent is urgently required. NK (natural killer) cells are important cytotoxic innate immune cells that are involved in the elimination of cancer cells. Two main NK cell subsets have been defined on the basis of CD56 and CD16 expression: CD56^brightCD16- NK subset produces abundant cytokines including interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and tumor necrosis factor-α, whereas CD56^dimCD16+ NK subpopulation has high cytolytic activity and releases the granules containing perforin and granzymes. Various clinical studies have been conducted to treat cancers using NK cells worldwide including Korea and therapeutic clinical results are shown for various cancers. The clinical application of NK cells is carried out by culturing and activating the NK cells isolated from blood of either patient (autologous) or blood donor (allogeneic). Recently, NK cell therapy for cholangiocarcinoma has been successfully done (NCT03358849) with allogeneic NK cell, showing safety and potential efficacy. Like T cells, a recent study with digestive cancer has shown that NK cells also express PD-1, especially with more number of PD-1 in cancer patients than in healthy individuals, suggesting that blocking PD-1 can be used as a potential strategy to increase the anticancer activity of NK cells. Therefore, combined therapy with the immune-check point such as pembrolizumab can be useful in elevating the anticancer activity of NK cells.
The study to evaluate M7824 monotherapy in participants with advanced or metastatic biliary tract cancer (BTC) who failed or were intolerant to first-line (1L) chemotherapy.
Advanced biliary tract adenocarcinoma has a poor prognosis with limited therapeutic options. Nab-paclitaxel plus S-1 chemotherapy will be given to untreated patients with advanced biliary tract adenocarcinoma for the first-line treatment.
1. Target population: patients with advanced biliary tract cancer (including gallbladder carcinoma, intrahepatic and extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma) . 2. Primary objective: progression free survival (PFS)/ overall survival (OS) of first-line chemotherapy plus PD-1 antibody (Toripalimab) in patients with advanced biliary tract cancer. Secondary objectives: 1. objective response rate (ORR) of first-line chemotherapy plus PD-1 antibody (Toripalimab) 2. safety of first-line chemotherapy plus PD-1 antibody (Toripalimab) 3.Trial design: This is a monocenter, single arm, phase II study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of first-line chemotherapy plus PD-1 antibody (Toripalimab) in patients with advanced advanced biliary tract cancer. 4.Treatment plan: Patients will be given treatment as below once recruited: PD-1 antibody Toripalimab（240mg, iv, q3w），combined with GS regimen(gemcitabine 1000mg／m2 ，d1,d8 + S1 40-60mg bid*14d，Q21d). The treatment will be continued until emerging of disease progression or intolerable adverse effects (The upper time limit for treatment is 2 years). 5.Number of subjects: 40 patients. Number of centers: 1 sites ( Fudan University Affiliated Zhongshan Hospital).
Biliary tract cancer (BTC) is rare in the West, but it is relatively high in Asia, including Korea. Currently used as the standard primary treatment in metastatic or locally advanced BTC is gemcitabine/platinum combination chemotherapy.There is no standard secondary chemotherapy recognized after the failure of the gemcitabine/platinum first line treatment. The investigators try to evaluate role of 5-FU, leucovorin, irinotecan, and oxaliplatin combination chemotherapy (FOLFIRINOX) for the patients who progressed after gemcitabine/cisplatin first line chemotherapy.
