Brief Summary:

The study will evaluate the benefit of applying Selective Internal Radiation Therapy (SIRT) using SIR-Spheres Y-90 resin microspheres prior to receiving systemic chemotherapy treatment (cisplatin-gemcitabine, or CIS-GEM) in patients with unresectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. Half of the patients will be randomized to CIS-GEM chemotherapy plus SIRT, and half of the patients will be randomized to CIS-GEM alone.

Condition or disease	Intervention/treatment	Phase
Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma	Drug: Cisplatin-gemcitabine; Device: Radiation: SIRT + chemotherapy (cisplatin-gemcitabine)	Phase 2; Phase 3

Detailed Description:

This clinical study is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, controlled study evaluating SIR-Spheres Y-90 resin microspheres followed by cisplatin-gemcitabine (CIS-GEM) chemotherapy vs. CIS-GEM chemotherapy alone as first-line treatment of patients with unresectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.

Randomized patients will be followed until death, withdrawal of consent, or until end of study.

Arm	Intervention/treatment
Active Comparator: Chemotherapy (Cisplatin-Gemcitabine); Cisplatin 25mg/m2 in 1000ml 0.9% saline given over 1 hour followed by 500 ml 0.9% saline over 30 minutes, followed by Gemcitabine 1000 mg/m2 in 250-500 ml 0.9% saline over 30 minutes by intravenous infusions on days 1, and 8 of a 21-day cycle.	Drug: Cisplatin-gemcitabine; Systemic chemotherapy; Other Name: CIS-GEM
Experimental: Radiation: SIRT + chemotherapy (Cisplatin-Gemcitabine); A single treatment of hepatic arterial injection of SIR-Spheres Y-90 resin microspheres (SIRT) followed 14-16 days later by systemic chemotherapy (ABC-02 CIS-GEM protocol) with an intention to treat with 8 cycles of cisplatin + gemcitabine, or until progression, toxicity or patient choice. Treatment may be continued beyond 8 cycles in the absence of significant disease progression, at the treating clinicians' discretion.	Drug: Cisplatin-gemcitabine; Systemic chemotherapy; Other Name: CIS-GEM; Device: Radiation: SIRT + chemotherapy (cisplatin-gemcitabine); SIR-Spheres microspheres followed by systemic chemotherapy

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. Survival at 18 months [ Time Frame: 18 months following the date of randomization. ]
   Survival at 18 months is defined as the proportion of patients still alive 18 months from the date of randomization.

Secondary Outcome Measures :

1. Liver-specific progression free survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: From date of randomization to the first documented date of progression in the liver or date of death from any cause, assessed up to 36 months.. ]
2. Progression free survival (PFS) at any site [ Time Frame: From date of randomization to the date of progression at any site until the first date of documented tumor progression at any site or date of death from any cause, assessed up to 36 months. ]
3. Objective response rate by RECIST 1.1 and refined RECIST - liver [ Time Frame: From the date of first treatment until the date of date of first documented progression in the liver, assessed up to 36 months. ]
4. Objective response rate by RECIST 1.1 and refined RECIST - at any site [ Time Frame: From the date of first treatment until progression at any site, assessed up to 36 months. ]
5. Overall Survival [ Time Frame: From date of randomization until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 36 months. ]
6. Liver surgical resection and ablation rate [ Time Frame: 18 months following the date of randomization. ]
   To assess the number of patients in each arm who are downstaged by protocol therapy and can proceed to liver resection or ablation. The specific assessments will be the classification of resection as R0, R1 or R2, the presence of viable tumor or fibrosis, and the nearest resection margin.
7. Incidence of Adverse Events (Safety and tolerability) [ Time Frame: Informed consent until 28 days post last dose of protocol chemotherapy. ]
   Adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v. 4.0.
