| ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: | NCT00386516 |
Purpose
The purpose of this clinical trial is to determine whether the combination of the established chemotherapeutic agent 5-fluorouracil(5-FU) and the large carbohydrate molecule DAVANAT is beneficial in treating advanced gall bladder and bile duct cancer.

Cancer of the Bile Duct Gallbladder Cancer |
Drug: DAVANAT in combination with 5-Fluorouracil |
Phase II |
| Study Type: | Interventional |
| Study Design: | Allocation: Non-Randomized Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment Masking: Open Label Primary Purpose: Treatment |
| Official Title: | Phase 2, Multi-Center, Open-Label Trial to Evaluate Efficacy and Safety of DAVANAT in Combination With 5-FU as First Line Chemotherapy in Patients With Advanced Biliary Cancer |
| Estimated Enrollment: | 42 |
| Study Start Date: | September 2006 |
Determine the overall response rate (ORR) defined as complete response (CR)rate plus partial response (PR) rate using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST), as well as the stable disease (SD) rate in subjects with unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma or other biliary tract tumors treated with DAVANAT plus 5-Fluorouracil (DAVFU) at doses of 280 mg/m2 and 600 mg/m2, respectively, during cycles of 4 consecutive days of treatment followed by a 24-day follow-up period.
