Gemcitabine and Oxaliplatin Chemotherapy With or Without a Floxuridine and Dexamethasone Pump in People With Cholangiocarcinoma That Cannot Be Removed With Surgery

• Status: Recruiting
• Trial end date: 2024-05-01

Summary

This study will compare the safety and effects of HAI floxuridine and dexamethasone combined with the standard chemotherapy drugs gemcitabine and oxaliplatin (GemOx) with those of GemOx alone in people with untreated cholangiocarcinoma that cannot be removed with surgery. The researchers want to find out whether the study treatment works better than the standard chemotherapy to delay progression of disease. For the study treatment to be considered better than the standard treatment, the study treatment should increase the time until progression of disease by an average of 3 months, compared with the usual approach.
