About this study

Official title: A Traditional Feasibility Study of Gemcitabine, Cisplatin, and 90Y TARE for Unresectable Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of 90 Y TARE (Y90) in combination with gemcitabine and cisplatin in patients with unresectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC).

Read the detailed description

Gemcitabine and cisplatin chemotherapy is the current standard for the treatment of unresectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. 90Y TARE combined with the current standard may be an ideal way to improve disease control in the liver as almost all patients die from their disease in the liver. The data from this trial would then be used to move to a phase II trial to determine efficacy to see if a phase III trial would be warranted. In addition, assessment of the molecular classification of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma could determine if there is difference in survival with chemotherapy and 90Y TARE. Finally, MRI before and after treatment will be used to determine if utilizing the percent increase of mean ADC correlates with survival.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • SIR-Spheres microspheres (Yttrium-90 Microspheres)Device

    Also called 90Y TARE

    On Day 3 or 4 of cycle 1 90Y TARE will be administered

  • GemcitabineDrug

    On days 1 and 8 of each cycle (21 days) Gemcitabine will be administered. Treatment may last up to 8 cycles

  • CisplatinDrug

    On days 1 and 8 of each cycle (21 days) Cisplatin will be administered. Treatment may last up to 8 cycles

Study groups in NCT02512692
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
90Y TARE with Gemcitabine and CisplatinExperimental90Y TARE will be given on day 3 or 4 of cycle 1 and start at 75% of the dose calculated by the body surface area formula and escalated by 25% per cohort in combination with cisplatin 25 mg/m2 and gemcitabine 300 mg/m2 in cycles 1 and 2. Once the 90Y TARE has reached the 100% dose level, the gemcitabine dose will increase to 600mg/m2 in dose level 3 and 1000mg/m2 in dose level 4. The cisplatin dose will remain at 25/mg/m2. For all dose levels, from cycle 3 to cycle 8, the cisplatin dose will be 25mg/m2 and the gemcitabine dose will be 1000mg/m2.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To determine the feasibility of 90Y TARE in combination with gemcitabine and cisplatin in patients with unresectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.

    A continual reassessment method (CRM) design will be used to confirm the Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.0 in regards to 90Y TARE.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing SIR-Spheres microspheres (Yttrium-90 Microspheres), Gemcitabine and Cisplatin in people with Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma, run by Medical University of South Carolina at 1 site in United States.

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 5 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Nov 2024. 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 United States. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Enrollment closed by internal scientific review committee due to slow accrual.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

To determine the feasibility of 90Y TARE in combination with gemcitabine and cisplatin in patients with unresectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. (time frame: Up to 2 years). 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 18 Nov 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
