EXIBIT: An international multicenter phase II trial of gemcitabine and oxaliplatin (GEMOX) in patients with advanced biliary tract cancer
2016
4135 Background: Biliary tract carcinomas (BTC) are often diagnosed at an advanced/metastatic stage and have a poor prognosis. The combination of gemcitabine and oxaliplatin (GEMOX) showed promising activity in a French Phase II study (4 centers) in advanced BTC (Andre. Ann Oncol 2004;15:1339–1343). The objective of this study is to further evaluate the efficacy and safety of GEMOX as first-line therapy in patients (pts) with advanced BTC. Methods: Eligible pts were >18 years of age with histologically proven and measurable, locally advanced or metastatic BTC, had an ECOG PS ≤ 2, adequate renal and hematologic functions, bilirubin < 2.5 × upper limit of normal, and no prior malignancy or brain metastases. Gemcitabine 1000 mg/m2 (Day 1) and oxaliplatin 100 mg/m2 (Day 2) were administered every 2 weeks. The primary objective was response rate (RR) by RECIST (one dimension); secondary objectives were progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and safety. Here we report an interim analysis of OS ...
