Metastatic Biliary Tract Cancer | Drug: Onivyde Drug: 5-FU/LV | Phase 2 |
This study is a multicenter, open-label, randomized, phase II study comparing the efficacy and safety between fluorouracil/folinic acid plus liposomal irinotecan and fluoruracil/folinic acid monotherapy in patients with metastatic biliary tract cancer which progressed on 1st line gemcitabine/cisplatin.
Eligible patients will be included in this study and treated according to the protocol. Study treatment will be continued until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or patient's decision/consent withdrawal. Local investigators will determine disease progression, radiologic or clinical deterioration.

- Progression Free Survival by independent central reviewer [ Time Frame: from the date of enrollment to the earlier of the date of confirmed progression or death from any cause. (assessed up to 36 months) ]Progression-free survival is the time from the date of enrollment to the earlier of the date of confirmed progression or death from any cause.
- Overall Survival [ Time Frame: from the date of enrollment to death from any cause. (assessed up to 36 months) ]Overall survival is the time from the date of enrollment to death from any cause
- Response rates determined by the investigator according to the RECIST(Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors) v1.1 [ Time Frame: from the date of enrollment to end of treatment. (assessed up to 36 months) ]The response rate is the proportion of eligible patients with measurable lesions with a overall response of CR(Complete Response) or PR(Partial Response)
- EORTC-QLQ (European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer - Quality of life Questionnaire) C30 (version 3.0) [ Time Frame: from the date of Screening to end of treatment. (assessed up to 36 months) ]EORTC-QLQ C-30 questionnaires will be performed at screening visit, at pre-dose (Cycle 1 Day1) of every subsequent cycle, at the end of treatment visit. It is a 30-item questionnaire. It has 4-point scales for the item number 1 to 28. These are coded with the same response categories as items 1 to 28, namely "not at all=1" "a little=2" "quite a bit=3" and "very much=4" It has 7-point scale for question number 29 to 30. These are coded with the same response categories as items 29 to 30, namely "worst=1" to "best=7" Total score will be minimum 30 and maximum 126.
- Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events [Safety and Tolerability] [ Time Frame: from the date of enrollment to 30 days after last treatment. (assessed up to 36 months) ]Severity of adverse events will be graded by NCI-CTCAE (National Cancer Institute - Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events) v4.03
- Progression Free Survival by investigator assessment [ Time Frame: from the date of enrollment to the earlier of the date of confirmed progression or death from any cause. (assessed up to 36 months) ]Progression-free survival is the time from the date of enrollment to the earlier of the date of confirmed progression or death from any cause.
- Response rates determined by the independent central reviewer [ Time Frame: from the date of enrollment to end of treatment. (assessed up to 36 months) ]The response rate is the proportion of eligible patients with measurable lesions with a overall response of CR(Complete Response) or PR(Partial Response)
