A single arm, prospective multicenter phase II study FOLFIRINOX in patients with advanced and recurrent biliary tract cancer.

2017 
TPS514Background: The current standard of care for patients with advanced biliary tract cancer (BTC) is gemcitabine and cisplatin (GC) combination chemotherapy. Despite intensive researches, no trials have proved better overall survival (OS) over GC. Recently, FOLFIRINOX provided a remarkable survival benefit over gemcitabine in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer. Given the promising results of FOLFIRI and FOLFOX in patients with advanced BTC, FOLFIRINOX can be an attractive option in patients with advanced BTC as well. Methods: This is a single-arm, open-label, multi-center phase II study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of FOLFIRINOX in patients with advanced BTC. The major inclusion criteria are as follows; unresectable or recurrent BTC, histologically or cytologically confirmed adenocarcinoma, no prior chemotherapy or radiation therapy, age of 20-75 years, an ECOG PS of 0 or 1, at least one measurable lesion, adequate hematological, liver and renal function. The major exclusion criteria are...
