About this study

Official title: A Phase III Study of New Chemotherapy Regimen in the Treatment of Advanced Gallbladder Carcinoma

Objective Primary:

Determine the objective response rate in patients with advanced gallbladder treated with new Chemotherapy regimen

Secondary:

Determine time to progression-free survival and overall survival of patients treated with this regimen.

Determine quality of life of patients treated with this regimen. Determine the toxicity of new chemotherapy regimen

Read the detailed description

Study Design: Treatment, Randomized, Open Label, controlled,Multicenter Group Assignment, Safety/Efficacy Study

Chemotherapy regimen:

Group A: Conventional chemotherapy regimen Group B: New chemotherapy regimen: conventional regimen plus SST(somatostatin) Cycles repeat every 4 weeks and 6 cycles in total

Patients: A total of 260 patients (130 per group) will be accrued for this study.

Patients distribution:

10patients per center are enrolled in the study and 30 centers (hospitals) in total which meet the total number of patients in trial.

Clinical Outcome Assessments:

Primary: the objective response rate (response evaluation criteria in solid tumors ,RECIST criteria) Secondary: progression-free survival, overall survival, quality of life,the adverse event

Safety Assessments:

Physical exam, laboratory test, probably occurred adverse event.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Somatostatin and epirubicin, cisplatin, LV(Leucovorin)、 5-FU(5-Fluorouracil) in people with Gallbladder Neoplasms, run by Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 13 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Dec 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

(Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors, RECIST,2009 ), CR(complete response) and PR(partial response) (time frame: 6 month after first treatment). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 20 Dec 2013.
