Gemcitabine Hydrochloride, Cisplatin, Nab-Paclitaxel, and Durvalumab in Treating Patients With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Gallbladder Cancer
China33 participantsStarted 2024-10-24
Plain-language summary
This phase II trail will evaluate the efficacy and safety of combining gemcitabine hydrochloride, cisplatin, nab-paclitaxel (paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation), with durvalumab in treating patients who have locally advanced or metastatic gallbladder cancer.
Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine hydrochloride, cisplatin, and nab-paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Durvalumab is a type of drug called a monoclonal antibody, which selectively blocks PD-L1 binding to PD-1. This anti-PD-L1 treatment works by allowing the immune system to detect your cancer and reactivates the immune response.

Inclusion criteria
. Age≥18 years at time of study entry.
. Has an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1.
. Has histologically or cytologically confirmed unresectable locally advanced or metastatic gallbladder adenocarcinoma.
. Has at least 1 measurable disease, as defined by RECIST 1.1, at baseline.
. Has a life expectancy ≥ 3 months from proposed first dose date.
. Has received no prior anti-cancer therapy for gallbladder adenocarcinoma.
. Has adequate bone marrow, liver and renal functions measured within 14 days prior to administration of study treatment: Absolute neutrophil count≥1.5 x109/L;Platelet count≥100×109/L;Serum bilirubin≤2.5×institutional upper limit of normal (ULN). Subjects requiring biliary decompression, biliary stent, or drainage using percutaneous trans-hepatic cholangiogram are allowed (patients with a declining bilirubin status post stent placement are eligible with serum bilirubin≤2.5×ULN);Aspartate aminotransferase (AST)/alanine aminotransferase (ALT)≤2.5×ULN;Measured creatinine clearance (CL)\>50 mL/min or calculated creatinine CL\> 50 mL/min by the Cockcroft-Gault formula (Cockcroft and Gault 1976) or by 24-hour urine collection for determination of creatinine clearance.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring
1
Objective Response Rate (ORR)
Timeframe: Tumor assessments (per RECIST 1.1) every 6 weeks for the first 24 weeks relative to the date of randomization and then every 8 weeks thereafter. Assessed up to maximum of approximately 36 months.
. Women with childbearing potential should complete a pregnancy test with negative result within 28 days of study treatment and be willing to use effective contraceptive methods from screening to 90 days after the last dose of durvalumab
Exclusion criteria
. Diagnosis of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma or carcinoma of Vaters ampulla.
. Known hypersensitivity to any of the study drugs or any of the study drug excipients.
. Patients, who have received prior anti-PD-1, anti PD-L1 or anti CTLA-4 therapy.
. Has an active or previously documented autoimmune or inflammatory disorder (including inflammatory bowel disease \[e.g., colitis or Crohn\'s disease\], diverticulitis \[diverticulosis is not an excluding factor\], systemic lupus erythematosus, Sarcoidosis syndrome, or Wegener syndrome \[granulomatosis with polyangiitis, Graves\' disease, rheumatoid arthritis, hypophysitis, uveitis, etc.\]).
. Concurrent use of hormonal therapy for non-cancer-related conditions (e.g., hormone replacement therapy) is acceptable: Patients with vitiligo or alopecia; Patients with hypothyroidism (e.g., following Hashimoto syndrome) stable on hormone replacement; Patients having any chronic skin condition that does not require systemic therapy; Patients without active disease in the last 5 years (allowed only after consultation with the study physician); Patients with celiac disease controlled by diet alone.
. Has history of allogenic organ transplantation.
. Has a history of active primary immunodeficiency.
. Has uncontrolled intercurrent illness, including but not limited to, ongoing or active infection; symptomatic congestive heart failure; uncontrolled hypertension; unstable angina pectoris; cardiac arrhythmia; interstitial lung disease; serious chronic gastrointestinal conditions associated with diarrhea; or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements, would substantially increase risk of incurring adverse events (AEs), or would compromise the ability of the patient to give written informed consent.
