Combination Chemotherapy Plus Panitumumab or Bevacizumab for Inoperable Cholangiocarcinoma Without KRAS Mutations
Phase 2
Completed
- Conditions
- Cholangiocarcinoma
- Interventions
- Registration Number
- NCT01206049
- Lead Sponsor
- Vejle Hospital
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the rate of progression free survival of patients with inoperable cholangiocarcinoma 6 months after enrollment in the study. The patients are treated with combination chemotherapy supplemented by biological agents panitumumab or bevacizumab.

Recruitment & Eligibility
- Status
- COMPLETED
- Sex
- All
- Target Recruitment
- 88
Inclusion Criteria
- Histologically verified adenocarcinoma arisen from gall bladder, extra- or intrahepatic bile ducts or malignant cells consistent with the above and simultaneous radiologic findings consistent with cholangiocarcinoma
- Minimum 18 years of age
- Curative treatment currently not an option (operation, stereotactic radiation treatment or similar)
- KRAS analyzed and found wild-type (wt)
- Performance status 0-2
- Evaluable disease according to RECIST, i.e. the disease need not be measurable
- Hematology: ANC ≥1.5x10^9/l. Thrombocytes ≥ 100x10^9/l
- Biochemistry: Bilirubinemia ≤ 3 x upper normal level. ALAT ≤ 5 x upper normal level.
- Creatinine ≤ upper normal level. At raised creatinine level the measured or calculated GFR must be at least 50% of the lower normal level
- Fertile women must present a negative pregnancy test and use secure birth control during and 6 months after treatment. Men with fertile partners must also take care of secure birth control.
- Written and orally informed consent
Exclusion Criteria
- Previous cytostatic treatment of inoperable cholangiocarcinoma
- Adjuvant or neoadjuvant chemotherapy, radiation therapy or immunotherapy within 4 weeks prior to treatment start
- Other concomitant experimental treatment
- Severe medical disease such as considerable heart disease, serious active infection or other disease making the patient unfit for study participation as assessed by investigator
- Other malignant disease within 5 years prior to enrolment except from non-melanotic skin cancer and carcinoma in situ cervicis uteri
- Interstitial pneumonitis or subsequent pulmonary fibrosis
- Pregnant or breastfeeding women
- Large-scale surgical intervention, excision biopsy or significant traumatic lesions within 28 days prior to treatment start or presumption that large-scale surgery will become necessary during study treatment.
- Significant non-healing wound or ulcers
- Active hemorrhage or increased risk of hemorrhage (e.g. tumor invasion in large vessels or known esophagus varices)
- Known hypersensitivity to panitumumab, bevacizumab or any of the auxiliary agents
- Grade IV fistulas
- Uncontrolled hypertension, i.e. symptomatic hypertension or non-medically stabilized hypertension >160/100
- Haemoptysis > 2.5 ml within 2 weeks prior to enrolment
- Previous serious and unexpected reactions or know hypersensitivity to two or more of the applied cytostatics
