Brief Summary:
Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of BMS-247550 in treating patients who have liver or gallbladder cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Adult Primary Cholangiocellular Carcinoma Adult Primary Hepatocellular Carcinoma Advanced Adult Primary Liver Cancer Cholangiocarcinoma of the Extrahepatic Bile Duct Cholangiocarcinoma of the Gallbladder Localized Extrahepatic Bile Duct Cancer Localized Gallbladder Cancer Localized Resectable Adult Primary Liver Cancer Localized Unresectable Adult Primary Liver Cancer Recurrent Adult Primary Liver Cancer Recurrent Extrahepatic Bile Duct Cancer Recurrent Gallbladder Cancer Unresectable Extrahepatic Bile Duct Cancer Unresectable Gallbladder Cancer Drug: ixabepilone Other: laboratory biomarker analysis Phase 2

Detailed Description:

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Determine the objective response rate of patients with hepatobiliary cancer treated with BMS-247550.

II. Determine the toxicity of this drug in these patients. III. Determine the duration of response, median and overall survival, and time to progression in patients treated with this drug.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive BMS-247550 IV over 3 hours on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 days for at least 2 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed every 6 weeks until disease progression

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Objective response rate (partial or complete response) evaluated by RECIST [ Time Frame: Up to 8 years ]
    A 10% response rate precludes further study whereas a 25% response rate would indicate that further study is warranted.

  2. Frequency and extent of cytotoxic activity graded according to the NCI CTC Version 2.0 [ Time Frame: Up to 8 years ]
  3. Time to disease progression [ Time Frame: From the first day of treatment until the date PD or death is first reported, assessed up to 8 years ]
    Will also be evaluated using the Kaplan-Meier estimator.

  4. Overall survival [ Time Frame: From the time measurement criteria are met for CR/PR (whichever is first recorded) until the first date that PD is objectively documented, assessed up to 10 years ]
    Will also be evaluated using the Kaplan-Meier estimator.
