Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of combination of fluorouracil/folinic acid and liposomal irinotecan(Onivyde) compared with fluoruracil/folinic acid in patients with metastatic biliary tract cancer which progressed on 1st line gemcitabine/cisplatin.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study is a multicenter, open-label, randomized, phase II study comparing the efficacy and safety between fluorouracil/folinic acid plus liposomal irinotecan and fluoruracil/folinic acid monotherapy in patients with metastatic biliary tract cancer which progressed on 1st line gemcitabine/cisplatin.

Eligible patients will be included in this study and treated according to the protocol. Study treatment will be continued until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or patient's decision/consent withdrawal. Local investigators will determine disease progression, radiologic or clinical deterioration.
