Trial Information

A Phase II Trial of Gemcitabine (NSC-613327) and Capecitabine (NSC-712807) in Patients With Unresectable or Metastatic Gallbladder or Cholangiocarcinoma


OBJECTIVES:

- Determine the response rates (confirmed complete and partial responses) in patients
with unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic gallbladder cancer or
cholangiocarcinoma treated with gemcitabine and capecitabine.

- Determine the overall survival of patients treated with this regimen.

- Determine the quantitative and qualitative toxic effects of this regimen in these
patients.

- Determine the feasibility of accruing patients with these disease sites.

- Evaluate, preliminarily, relevant prognostic markers in these disease sites and the
prognostic implications as predictors of survival in patients treated with this
regimen.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive oral capecitabine twice daily on days 1-14 and gemcitabine IV over 100
minutes on days 1 and 8. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression
or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed every 3 months until disease progression and then every 6 months for
up to 3 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 20-40 patients will be accrued for this study within
approximately 10-20 months.

Inclusion Criteria


DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS:

- Histologically or cytologically confirmed gallbladder cancer or cholangiocarcinoma

- Locally advanced or metastatic disease that is unresectable

- Eligible subtypes:

- Adenocarcinoma, intestinal type

- Undifferentiated carcinoma

- Carcinoma, NOS

OR

- Histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of a metastatic site with clinical
documentation* of gallbladder or bile duct involvement and no evidence of another
primary

NOTE: *If clinical documentation of gallbladder or bile duct involvement is not possible
due to removal of the organ, a clinically and/or radiographically consistent picture plus
pathologic findings from the metastatic site consistent with cholangiocarcinoma are
allowed

- Platelet count at least 100,000/mm^3

Hepatic:

- Bilirubin no greater than 3 times upper limit of normal (ULN)

- Serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) or Serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase
(SGPT) no greater than 2.5 times ULN (5 times ULN if liver metastasis is present)

Renal:

- Creatinine clearance at least 30 mL/min

Cardiovascular:

- No clinically significant cardiac disease that is not well controlled by medication

- No congestive heart failure

- No symptomatic coronary artery disease

- No cardiac arrhythmias

- No myocardial infarction within the past 12 months

Gastrointestinal:

- Able to swallow and/or receive medications via gastrostomy feeding tube

- No intractable nausea or vomiting

- No malabsorption syndrome

Other:

- No severe reaction to fluoropyrimidine therapy or known hypersensitivity to
fluorouracil

- No other malignancy within the past 5 years except:

- Adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer

- Carcinoma in situ of the cervix

- Adequately treated stage I or II cancer currently in complete remission

- Not pregnant or nursing

- Fertile patients must use effective contraception

PRIOR CONCURRENT THERAPY:

Biologic therapy:

- Prior neoadjuvant or adjuvant immunotherapy allowed provided therapy was completed at
least 1 year before documented recurrence or metastatic disease

- No concurrent immunotherapy

Chemotherapy:

- Prior neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy allowed provided
therapy was completed at least 1 year before documented recurrence or metastatic
disease

- No other concurrent chemotherapy

Endocrine therapy:

- Prior neoadjuvant or adjuvant hormonal therapy allowed provided therapy was completed
at least 1 year before documented recurrence or metastatic disease

- No concurrent hormonal therapy

Radiotherapy:

- See Disease Characteristics

- See Chemotherapy

- Recovered from prior radiotherapy

- Prior neoadjuvant or adjuvant radiotherapy allowed provided therapy was completed at
least 1 year before documented recurrence or metastatic disease

- No prior radiotherapy to 25% or more of bone marrow

- No concurrent radiotherapy except for palliation of metastatic sites not considered
target lesions

Surgery:

- At least 2 weeks since prior surgery for this malignancy and recovered

Other:

- No prior treatment for metastatic disease

- No other concurrent therapy for this cancer

Type of Study:

Interventional

Study Design:

Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment

Outcome Measure:

Response

Outcome Description:

Complete Response (CR) is complete disappearance of all measurable and non-measurable disease. No new lesions, no disease related symptoms. Normalization of markers and other abnormal lab values. Partial Response (PR) is greater than or equal to 30% decrease under baseline of the sum of longest diameters of all target measurable lesions. No unequivocal progression of non-measurable disease. No new lesions. Confirmation of CR or PR means a repeat scan at least 4 weeks apart documented before progression or symptomatic deterioration. Progression is 20% increase in sum of longest diameters of target measurable lesions over smallest sum observed and/or unequivocal progression of non-measurable disease and/or appearance of new lesion/site or death due to disease without prior documentation of progression and without symptomatic deterioration. Symptomatic deterioration is global deterioration of health status requiring discontinuation of treatment without objective evidence of progression.

Outcome Time Frame:

Patients assessed at least every six weeks while on protocol treatment

Safety Issue:

No
