Biliary Drainage Plus HAIC in Locally Advanced pCCA

January 8, 2024 updated by: Xiaodong Wang, MD, Peking University

Prospective Multicentre Trial of Biliary Drainage Plus Hepatic Arterial Infusion Chemotherapy Versus Biliary Drainage Plus Best Supportive Care in Locally Advanced Perihilar Cholangiocarcinomas.

Biliary drainage and stent placement remains to be the main palliative treatment choice for advanced perihiliar cholangiocarcinoma (pCCA), and the life expectancy is only 4-6 months. Previous single center prospective phase 2 trial showed that hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) with oxaliplatin and 5-fluorouracil was an encouraging treatment choice for advanced pCCA due to its high tumor control, survival benefit, and low toxicity. Thus, the multicenter prospective controlled trial was designed to explore and confirm the survival benefit of biliary drainage plus hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy with oxaliplatin and 5-fluorouracil compared with biliary drainage plus best support care treatment in locally advanced pCCA patients.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

When a patient is not eligible for surgery, chemotherapy with gemcitabine and cisplatin can be considered for advanced biliary tract cancer. However, in the Advanced Biliary Tract Cancer, or ABC-02 trial in patients with pCCA, the efficacy of this regimen was not significantly higher than that of gemcitabine alone. Therefore, an optimal chemotherapeutic regimen has not been established for this subtype of cholangiocarcinoma. Currently, biliary drainage and stent placement remains to be the main palliative treatment choice, and the life expectancy is only 4-6 months. Previous single center prospective phase 2 trial showed that HAI with oxaliplatin and 5-fluorouracil was an encouraging treatment choice for advanced PCC due to its high tumor control, survival benefit, and low toxicity. So the multicenter prospective controlled trial was designed to explore and confirm the survival benefit of biliary drainage plus hepatic arterial infusion of oxaliplatin and 5-fluorouracil compared with biliary drainage plus best support care treatment in locally advanced pCCA patients.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: BD-HAIC (Biliary drainage & HAIC)
The patients enrolled in this arm would receive external percutaneous biliary drainage plus 3Cir-OFF hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC)with oxaliplatin and 5-fluorouracil.
Intra-arterial chemotherapy consisted of Oxaliplatin (40mg/m2 for 2 hours), 5-fluorouracil (800 mg/ m2 for22 hours) on days 1-3 every 4 weeks.
External biliary drainage
Active Comparator: BD-BSC (Biliary Drainage & Best supportive care)
The patients enrolled in this arm would receive biliary drainage, biliary stents,or biliary stents with Iodine-125 seed strands, plus best supportive care.
External biliary drainage, or biliary stent placement; Biliary stent placement plus Iodine-125 seed strands is allowed
Nutrition support, symptomatic treatment, and other supportive treatments
