Full study description
brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of combination of fluorouracil/folinic acid and liposomal irinotecan(Onivyde) compared with fluoruracil/folinic acid in patients with metastatic biliary tract cancer which progressed on 1st line gemcitabine/cisplatin.
detailed Description
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.
