Trial design

CTIS Part I — objectives, methods, condition coding

Main objective

Scope: Efficacy, Safety

To examine the efficacy of a combination therapy of trifluridine/tipiracil and nanoliposomal irinotecan in patients with advanced, non resectable or metastatic cholangio- and gallbladder carcinoma after failure to respond to a previous gemcitabine-based treatment.

Secondary objectives 1

  1. The secondary objectives are progression-free survival rate at 4 months defined as the proportion of patients with non-progressive disease 4 months after inclusion by intention to treat analysis. Likewise the median overall survival and the proportion of patients with an objective response according to RECIST 1.1 will be calculated. Moreover safety (type, grade and frequency of AEs/SAEs) and the analysis of quality of life (EORTC QLQ-30 and the EQ-5D5L questionnaires) are also secondary objectives of this study.

1 Treatment period

Eligibility criteria

Principal inclusion / exclusion criteria as submitted by sponsor

Inclusion criteria 4

  1. Histologically or cytologically confirmed, non-resectable, locally advanced or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma or gall bladder carcinoma
  2. Measurable or assessable disease according to RECIST 1.1
  3. Documented disease progression after prior gemcitabine or gemcitabine containing therapy or intolerance to such a treatment. Examples of permitted therapies include, but are not limited to: a) Single agent gemcitabine); b) Any gemcitabine-based regimen, with or without maintenance gemcitabine
  4. Patients with available molecular tumor profiling may only be included if they are not eligible for approved targeted therapies or if they reject approved targeted therapies. Eligibility for such therapies is determined by the local interdisciplinary tumor board or molecular tumor board, based on the results of molecular testing, clinical criteria, and the patient’s preference.

Exclusion criteria 2

  1. CNS metastases
  2. Clinically significant gastrointestinal disorders including bleeding, inflammation, occlusion, or diarrhea > grade 1

Endpoints

Primary and secondary outcome measures (English text)

Primary endpoints 1

  1. Median progression free survival (PFS) assessed by the local investigator at each site (time from first administration of chemotherapy to the date of radiological or clinical tumor progression or death of any cause whichever comes first).

Secondary endpoints 5

  1. Progression-free survival rate at 4 months defined as the proportion of patients with non-progressive disease 4 months after inclusion by intention to treat analysis
  2. Median overall survival (time interval from first administration of chemotherapy to date of death from any cause)
  3. Proportion of patients with an objective response according to RECIST 1.1
  4. Type, frequency and severity of adverse events according to NCI CTCAE version 5.0 specifying seriousness and expectedness (AE, SAE, SUSAR)
  5. Health related QoL according to EORTC QLQ C30 and the EQ-5D-5L
