Registry Study of Neoadjuvant Chemoradiation & Transplant for Cholangiocarcinoma Patients
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This is an observational study intended to validate results of a previous study done at the Mayo Clinic. Patients are treated with combination chemotherapy and radiation and maintained on oral Xeloda until they can receive liver transplant. A staging laparotomy is performed before chemoradiation in order to identify patients who will most benefit from the treatment and to improve outcomes.

Other: Observation data collection study.
This is a data collection study where the main purpose is to collect information about the treatments patients receive for their unresectable cholangiocarcinoma.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Proportion of patients withdrawn due to toxicity and other treatment related events. [Completion of treatment for all patients (estimated to be 18 years total)]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Proportion of patients who respond to treatment [Completion of treatment for all patients (estimated to be 18 years total)]
-Response is defined as an absence of progressive disease or metastasis, so that the patient remains a candidate for liver transplantation
- Overall survival [Completion of treatment for all patients (estimated to be 18 years total)]
- Disease-free survival [Completion of treatment for all patients (estimated to be 18 years total)]
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
-
Diagnosis of cholangiocarcinoma that has been established preoperatively by at least one of the following criteria:
-
A positive brush cytology or biopsy result obtained at the time of cholangiography;
-
Fluorescence in situ hybridization demonstrating aneuploidy;
-
A serum CA 19-9 value greater than 100 U/mL in the presence of a radiographically characteristic malignant stricture in the absence of cholangitis.
-
Listed for OLT for hilar cholangiocarcinoma
-
Tumor/stricture is above the cystic duct and is unresectable.
-
A suitable candidate for orthotopic liver transplantation as judged by the liver transplant team. All 3 treatment modalities are not needed to confirm eligibility for this registry trial.
-
/= 18 years of age.
