Information provided by: Georgetown University
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00881504
  Purpose

This study is for patients with biliary tract cancer that has spread and who are not candidates for surgical resection.

The purpose of this research is to determine if bevacizumab can be safely administered with Modified FOLFOX 6 and find out what effects, good and/or bad, this type of treatment has on biliary cancer.

In this study, a combination of chemotherapy, Modified FOLFOX6 and a biologic agent, bevacizumab will be tested.

Subjects on this study will receive chemotherapy and bevacizumab every 2 weeks until their disease gets worse or they are unable to tolerate treatment.

Arms Assigned Interventions
FOLFOX6 and Bevacizumab: Experimental
Treatment with modified FOLFOX6 and Bevacizumab
Drug: Modified FOLFOX6 and Bevacizumab
Oxaliplatin 85 mg/m2 IV on Day 1 5-FU: 400 mg/m2 IV bolus on Day 1, followed by 2400 mg/M2 over 46 hours Leucovorin: 400 mg IV Day 1 Bevacizumab: 10 mg/kg IV on Day 1 Repeat cycles every 2 weeks until death, disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, patient refusal, or treatment delay > 4 weeks

Detailed Description:

This is a single-center, open labeled, single-arm study in patients with previously untreated unresectable biliary tract cancer. This trial will follow a Simon's two-stage optimal design. For the first stage, 9 patients will be accrued. If none of the 9 patients have controlled disease with mFOLFOX6 in combination with bevacizumab, the combination will be rejected and the trial stopped. However, if at least 1 patient of the 9 (11%) respond to treatment in the first stage, then an additional 15 patients will be entered into the second stage, for a total of 24 patients in the phase II study. If 3 (13%) or more patients respond to therapy, then the combination will be considered for further investigation.
