NGS as the First-line Treatment in Advanced Biliary Tract Cancer
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
To evaluate disease objective response rate (ORR) of nivolumab in combination with gemcitabine and TS1 in patients with advanced biliary tract cancer
Condition or Disease | Intervention/Treatment | Phase |
---|---|---|
Phase 2 |
Detailed Description
The primary endpoint will be evaluating overall response rate (ORR) of nivolumab in combination with gemcitabine and TS-1 in patients with advanced BTC. Simon's two-stage design will be used. If there are 3 or fewer subjects with controlled disease in these 19 patients, the study will be stopped. Otherwise, 25 additional patients will be accrued for a total of 44. The null hypothesis will be rejected if 11 or more subjects with controlled disease are observed in 44 patients.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: NGS Eligible patients will receive Nivolumab 240mg on day 1, gemcitabine 800 mg/m2/day on day 1 and S-1 orally 80-120 mg/day (depending on patient's body surface area (BSA)) on day 1 to 10 in a 2-week cycle. BSA < 1.25 m2: 80 mg/day 1.25 m2 ≤ BSA < 1.5 m2: 100 mg/day BSA ≥ 1.5 m2: 120 mg/day The treatment will be administered until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, or consent withdrawal during any time of the study. |
