Brief Summary

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

The prospective, multicenter, single-arm design study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of fruquintinib for patients with advanced or metastatic biliary tract adenocarcinoma who failed first-line chemotherapy with gemcitabine, platinum/S-1, and albumin paclitaxel.

Detailed Description

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

Biliary tract cancer arises from the epithelial cells of the bile ducts. Until nowadays, no standard second-line treatment has been established following recurrence from the first-line treatment. Angiogenesis plays a key role in the carcinogenesis and development of biliary tract adenocarcinoma. Studies have shown that VEGF is expressed in more than 50% of biliary tract adenocarcinoma, and microvessel density is significantly associated with tumor progression, metastasis, and prognosis. Fruquintinib (trade name: Elunate) is a novel small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor. It is currently being evaluated in clinical trials for multiple cancers including lung cancer, gastric cancer and colorectal cancer and showed strong anti-tumor activity. The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of fruquintinib for patients with advanced or metastatic biliary tract adenocarcinoma who failed first-line chemotherapy.

The trial is a prospective, multicenter, single-arm design study. Eligible participants with advanced or metastatic biliary tract adenocarcinoma who have failed first-line chemotherapy with gemcitabine, platinum/S-1, and albumin paclitaxel. The study will explore the efficacy and safety of second-line treatment with fruquintinib, and quality of life during treatment. Tumor assessment was performed every 8 weeks as defined by RECIST 1.1. Blood samples will be collected at baseline (before treatment) and 2 weeks after treatment, and cfDNA will be collected for gene detection analysis to evaluate the correlation between different gene mutations and their changes and efficacy.
