This study is ongoing, but not recruiting participants.
First Received: November 4, 2005   Last Updated: July 24, 2009   History of Changes
Sponsored by: University of New Mexico
Information provided by: University of New Mexico
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00250822
  Purpose

To determine the primary end point response rate of the combinations of Gemcitabine and Oxaliplatin (Gem-Ox) in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in patients with platelet counts greater 100,000 per microliter in a single arme Phase II trial. To determine the toxicity profile of this regimen To determine the effect of this treatment on patient survival, time to treatment failure, time ot progression, time to response.


Condition Intervention Phase
Liver Cancer
Drug: Gemcitabine and Oxaliplatin
Phase II

Study Type: Interventional
Study Design: Treatment, Non-Randomized, Open Label, Uncontrolled, Single Group Assignment
Official Title: Single Arm, Non Randomized Phase II Trial of Gemcitabine and Oxaliplatin (GEM-OX) for Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) Patients With Platelet Counts Greater Than 100,000 Per Microliter.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Response Rate ( CR + PR rate); namely, to determine response rate to the Gemcitabine and Oxaliplatin combination administered to patients with hepatocellular cancer. Furthermore, patients who achieve a response leading to tumor respectability. [ Time Frame: Cycles will be repeated every 4 weeks until disease progression. ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Estimated Enrollment: 43
Study Start Date: October 2005
Estimated Study Completion Date: October 2010
Estimated Primary Completion Date: October 2010 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Intervention Details:
    Drug: Gemcitabine and Oxaliplatin

    Dose:

    Gemcitabine 1000 mg/m2 - IV in about 60 minutes on days 1 & 15. Oxaliplatin 100 mg/m2 - IV over 2hr on days 2 & 16

Detailed Description:

The treatment plan is a two-step design. Day 1 the pt will receive Gemcitabine IV and Day 2 the pt will receive Oxaliplatin IV. This treatment cycle is repeated approximately every 28 days. Subsequent treatment cycle dosages are based on toxicity diaries and lab work results. CT scans are repeated every 2 treatment cycles.

Continuation in the study is dependent upon tumor response.
