A Randomized, Open, Prospective Clinical Research of Fluorouracil Implant to Improve Surgical Gallbladder Cancer and Bile Duct Cancer

Phase 2

• Conditions: Gallbladder Cancer; Bile Duct Cancer
• Interventions: Drug: Fluorouracil implant

• Registration Number: NCT01317069
• Lead Sponsor: Simcere Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd

Brief Summary

Through clinical practice, to explore if the application of Fluorouracil implant could effectively delay the local tumor recurrence and improvement the postoperative survival time in patients with gallbladder cancer and bile duct cancer.

Detailed Description

Major Objective Through clinical practice, to explore if the application of Fluorouracil implant could effectively delay the local tumor recurrence and improvement the postoperative survival time in patients with gallbladder cancer and bile duct cancer.

Secondary objective

1) If Fluorouracil implants application in clinical surgery could lead to the incidence of complications increased in biliary-enteric anastomosis.

2）Assess drug safety according to drug-related clinical and / or laboratory adverse events.

3）Observe the postoperative complication rate of Fluorouracil implants. 4）Observe the quality of life of patients used Fluorouracil implants.
