Phase I Study of Gemcitabine or S-1 Adjuvant Therapy After Hemihepatectomy for Biliary Tract Cancer

October 21, 2014 updated by: Kansai Hepatobiliary Oncology Group
To decide maximum tolerated dose and/or recommended dose of Gemcitabine or S-1 adjuvant therapy after hemihepatectomy

Study Overview

Status

Completed

Intervention / Treatment

Detailed Description

There is no standard adjuvant therapy after liver hemi-hepatectomy due to bile duct cancer, because of high surgical morbidity ratio and high adverse event ratio of adjuvant therapy. For example, our preliminary results showed that regular gemcitabine administration (1000mg/m2, day1, 8, 15 every 4 weeks) after hemihepatectomy was too toxic and induced severe leukocytopenia and/or thrombocytopenia. Herein, we planned this study to decide more safety adjuvant protocol(recommend dose) for gemcitabine and S-1 after hemihepatectomy using continual reassessment method analysis. In this study, we decided that tolerable ratio of dose-limiting toxicity would be less than 10%.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
frequency in adverse events
Time Frame: up to 12 weeks
The purpose of this study is to decide maximum tolerated dose and recommended dose. Recommended dose is a dose which would induce dose-limiting toxicity in 10% of participants. This will be calculated by continual reassessment method.
