Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Most patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) are often accompanied by local or distant metastases and lose the opportunity for surgical resection. Surgical resection is the only effective means for long-term survival of patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. However, multiple tumors, lymph node metastasis, and vascular invasion significantly reduced postoperative survival. Most patients will relapse due to less clinical data. The best adjuvant treatment strategy and standard protocol for patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma has not been determined. Current treatment options include chemotherapy based on fluoropyrimidine or gemcitabine. Albumin-bound paclitaxel(nab-paclitaxel) has been used to treat a variety of malignancies such as non-small cell lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, breast cancer, melanoma, ovarian cancer and the like. In the field of pancreatic cancer, studies have confirmed that albumin-bound paclitaxel has synergistic effects with gemcitabine. The combination of gemcitabine alone significantly increased the intratumoral concentration of gemcitabine. Albumin-bound paclitaxel plus gemcitabine is the first choice for first-line treatment of pancreatic cancer, but clinical studies in the field of cholangiocarcinoma are very limited. Based on the same origin of pancreatic and biliary embryos, biological behavior and pathological similarities. Therefore, in this second phase of the study, our aim was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of chemotherapy with nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine in the prevention of postoperative recurrence in patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.

Phase

Phase
