Anlotinib Plus Nab-Paclitaxels and S-1 for Patients with Advanced Biliary Tract Cancer As Second-Line Treatment

October 27, 2024 updated by: Ming Kuang, Sun Yat-sen University

Anlotinib Plus Nab-Paclitaxels and S-1 Versus FOLFOX for Patients with Advanced Biliary Tract Cancer As Second-Line Treatment: a Phase 2/3, Multi-centric Double-stage Randomized Controlled Trial

Biliary tract cancer (BTC) presents with a 5-year survival rate less than 5%. The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate if Anlotinib plus Nab-Paclitaxels and S-1 as second-line regimen can improve the treatment efficacy in advanced biliary tract cancer (BTC) after progression upon first-line standard treatment, in comparison with standard second-line FOLFOX regimen.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Biliary tract cancer (BTC) mainly includes intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, hilar cholangiocarcinoma, extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and gallbladder carcinoma, and the 5-year survival rate is less than 5%. Most patients were diagnosed as advanced stage, and missed the opportunity of radical surgery. ABC-02 study established gemcitabine combined with platinum drugs as the first-line standard treatment for unresectable BTC. However, after the disease progresses, the second-line treatment options and efficacies are limited. In recent years, BTC second-line treatment has made some breakthroughs in the field of chemotherapy and targeted therapy. However, the benefits of chemotherapy, immunotherapy and targeted drugs alone in the second line treatment of BTC is unsatisfactory. The combined scheme of two or three drugs sees the possibility of patients benefiting, but it still needs better scheme design and larger sample size for further verification. A phase II single-arm small-sample clinical trial exploring albumin-bound paclitaxel combined with S-1 capsule in the first-line treatment of advanced biliary adenocarcinoma initially showed the efficacy and safety of AS regimen in cholangiocarcinoma, and the efficacy and safety of Anlotinib in BTC were also confirmed in the small-sample study. Therefore, this study intends to explore the efficacy and safety of the second-line treatment of advanced BTC with Anlotinib combined with AS chemotherapy in comparison with the establised standard second-line regimen (FOLFOX).

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Overall Survival
Time Frame: From randomisation to death, up to 5 years
Overall Survival (OS), defined as the time between the date of the subject's first dose and the subject's death from all causes. The OS of subjects who were alive at the time of the final follow-up visit was counted as data censored at the time of the final follow-up visit.

Progression-Free Survival
Time Frame: From randomisation to disease progression or death, up to 5 years
Progression-Free Survival (PFS) is defined as the time from the date of the subject's first dose of medication to the date of the first documented tumor progression (assessed according toRECIST 1.1 criteria, with or without continuation of treatment) or the date of death from anycause, whichever occurs first. The median PFS and its 95% Cl will be analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method and survival graphs will be plotted.
