Definitive Chemoradiation With Gemcitabine and Continuous 5- FU (Fluorouracil)Followed by High Dose Rate Brachytherapy or Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy Boost in Locally Advanced Intra or Extrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
OBJECTIVES: This study proposes to evaluate the feasibility of delivery of this treatment in terms of toxicity. If toxicity is not acceptable, the treatment is not feasible. Primary Objectives * To establish a preliminary assessment whether toxicity rates are acceptable in patients with locally advanced intra or extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma when treated with a regimen of gemcitabine every two weeks and continuous fluorouracil (5-FU) given concurrently with external beam radiation therapy to a total dose of 45 gray(Gy), followed by a brachytherapy or Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy(SBRT) boost. Secondary Objectives * To evaluate the overall survival rate, progression free survival rate, tumor response rate, local control rate and the rate of distant metastases following gemcitabine and continuous 5-FU concurrent with radiation therapy in patients with locally advanced intra or extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. * To evaluate the rate at which patients with unresectable extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma become resectable following gemcitabine and radiation therapy.
