Trial Outcomes & Findings for Gemcitabine, Oxaliplatin in Combination With Bevacizumab in Biliary Tract and Gallbladder Cancer (NCT NCT00361231)

NCT ID: NCT00361231

Last Updated: 2017-02-07

Results Overview

To assess the median progression free survival in patients with BTC on GEMOX-B. Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions. In addition, death in the absence of radiological disease progression was also categorized as progression.

Measure
Bevacizumab, Gemcitabine, Oxaliplatin
* The chemotherapy drugs are given twice every 28 days. This 28 day period is called a cycle of study treatment. * Bevacizumab will be administered by IV over 90 minutes on day 1 and day 15. Gemcitabine will be administered by IV over 1 hour and 40 minutes on days 1 and 15 of each cycle. Oxaliplatin will be administered by IV for 2 hours on days 1 and 15 of each cycle. * Participants will continue to receive cycles of study treatment as long as their disease does not progress and they are not experiencing any serious side effects. Bevacizumab: Given intravenously on days 1 and 15 of each 28-day cycle. Participants may continue to receive study treatment as lond as their disease does not progress and they do not experience any serious side effects. Gemcitabine: Given intravenously on days 1 and 15 of each 28-day cycle. Participants may continue to receive study treatment as lond as their disease does not progress and they do not experience any serious side effects.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 2 years

To assess the overall response rate of GEMOX-B in patients with advanced BTC. Response rate is determined through Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), \>=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR.
