Trial Information

Randomized Phase II Trial of Gemcitabine/Cisplatin Versus S-1/Cisplatin in Advanced Biliary Cancer Patients


Standard chemotherapy regimen for biliary tract cancer(BTC) has not been established due to
the difficulty associated with performing clinical trials in this field.

Gemcitabine or fluoropyrimidines, including 5-fluorouracil and S-1, are routinely used for
BTC chemotherapy. The European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) and the National
Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines published in 2009 recommend either gemcitabine-based
or fluoropyrimidine-based chemotherapy or clinical trials for first-line treatment.
