Dose Escalating Study of Yttrium 90 Microspheres (TheraSphere) With Capecitabine (Xeloda) for Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma or Metastatic Disease to the Liver


OBJECTIVES:

- Establish the maximally tolerated dose of yttrium Y 90 glass microspheres in
combination with capecitabine in patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma or liver
metastases.

- Characterize the toxicity of this regimen in these patients.

- Determine the time to tumor progression in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a dose escalation study of yttrium Y 90.

Patients receive oral capecitabine twice daily on days 1-14. Treatment repeats every 21 days
for 3 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also
receive yttrium Y 90 glass microspheres by intra-arterial hepatic infusion on days 1-7 of
course 2.

After completion of study therapy, patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years.
