简要总结
The purpose of this study is to determine the recommended phase II dose, and to assess the safety of acelarin in combination with cisplatin in patients with locally advanced/ metastatic biliary tract cancers.
详细描述
Active chemotherapy drugs for the treatment of advanced biliary tract cancers (ABC) include gemcitabine, fluoropyrimidines and platinum agents. The United Kingdom (UK) National Cancer Research Network (NCRN) ABC-02 study established cisplatin and gemcitabine as the standard of care for the first-line treatment of patients with ABC and this regimen has been widely adopted in the UK and internationally. However, inherent and acquired tumour resistance limits the efficacy of gemcitabine and it is necessary to explore alternative treatments.
The study will explore the combination of acelarin, a drug designed to specifically overcome the key cancer resistance mechanisms associated with gemcitabine, with cisplatin. As this is the first time the combination of acelarin and cisplatin will be given to patients the aim of the study is to investigate the safety of the combination and to establish the recommended phase II dose of acelarin.
This is a phase Ib, single-arm, multi-centre, open-label trial. The trial design is a classic 3+3 design where patients are recruited into cohorts of 3 to 6 patients at different dose levels until the dose level for phase II is determined. Patients in each cohort will be monitored closely for safety and drug toxicity.
Secondary trial objectives will involve assessing the activity of acelarin in combination with cisplatin in terms of; progression-free survival, overall survival and response rate, as well as exploring the pharmacokinetic profile of the combination.

- •Adequate renal function with serum urea and serum creatinine < 1.5 times upper limit of normal (ULN) and creatinine clearance ≥ 30ml/min.
- •Adequate haematological function: Hb ≥ 10g/dl, white blood count (WBC) ≥ 3.0 x 10*9/L, absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 x 10*9/L, platelet count ≥ 100,000/mm
- •Adequate liver function: total bilirubin < 30 μmol/L and alkaline phosphatase, along with aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and/or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 5 x ULN.
- •Adequate biliary drainage, with no evidence of ongoing infection.
- •Women of child bearing age MUST have a negative pregnancy test prior to study entry AND be using a highly effective contraception method (combined or progestogen-only hormonal contraception, intrauterine device, intrauterine hormone-releasing system, vasectomised partner*(a) or sexual abstinence**(b)) which must be continued for 6 months after the end of study treatment, unless child bearing potential has been terminated by surgery/radical radiotherapy or infertility due to bilateral tubal occlusion.
- •Male subjects must either have had a successful vasectomy (confirmed azoospermia) or they and their female partner meet the criteria above (not of childbearing potential or practicing adequate contraception [e.g. combined or progestogen-only hormonal contraception, intrauterine device, intrauterine hormone-releasing system, sexual abstinence**(b)] throughout the study period and for 6 months after the end of study treatment).
- •Patients must not have a history of other malignant diseases (within the previous 5 years and there must be no evidence of recurrence), other than adequately treated non-melanotic skin cancer or in-situ carcinoma of the uterine cervix.
- •Patients must have given written informed consent.
- •(a) The vasectomised partner must have received medical assessment confirming surgical success.
- •(b) Sexual abstinence in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject.
排除标准

- •Documented history of allergic reactions attributed to any of the excipients used in the formulation (Kolliphor ELP; Tween 80; DMA).
- •Previous treatment with Acelarin.
- •Incomplete recovery from previous therapy (surgery/adjuvant therapy/radiotherapy) or unresolved biliary tree obstruction.
- •Any evidence of severe or uncontrolled systemic diseases which, in the view of the investigator, makes it undesirable for the patient to participate in the trial.

- •Any pregnant or lactating woman.
- •Pre-existing hearing impairment.
研究组 & 干预措施
Acelarin & Cisplatin
The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of Acelarin in combination with 25mg/m2 Cisplatin will be determined.
The starting dose will be 625mg/m2 Acelarin which will be escalated to 725mg/m2 if the criteria for dose escalation is met (i.e. the proportion of dose limiting toxicities is acceptable as detailed in the protocol). Escalation will continue in accordance with the protocol up to a maximum of 925mg/m2. Only if the MTD is exceeded at the starting dose level (at least 2 of 3 participants or at least 2 of 6 participants have DLT at the first dose level) will there be a de-escalation to 500mg.

结局指标
主要结局
Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of Aclerain in combination with Cisplatin
时间窗: After 13 months of first patient included
The MTD will be defined as the maximum dose level at which 0/3 patients or 1/6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity (DLT). At any dose level, DLT in 1/3 patients will lead to expansion to 6 patients. If 2/6 patients experience DLT the preceding dose level will be declared the MTD. At the MTD up to 6 additional patients may be enrolled. If this level is well tolerated, it will be declared the recommended phase II dose (RP2D).
