Abstract:
258 Background: The data of second-line treatment for advanced biliary tract cancer is still limited. We have previously reported feasibility study of gemcitabine and cisplatin combination therapy for refractory biliary tract cancer (Sasaki T et al, Invest New Drugs 2011). In this feasibility study, only 20 pts were enrolled, and both second-line and third-line treatments were involved. Therefore, we conducted a retrospective study of gemcitabine and cisplatin combination therapy as second-line treatment to clarify the treatment outcome of this combination therapy. Methods: Pts with advanced biliary tract cancer who were refractory to gemcitabine containing regimen were enrolled in this study. Gemcitabine 1,000 mg/m 2 and cisplatin 25 mg/m 2 were administered intravenously on days 1 and 8 repeated every 3 weeks. Results: Fifty-nine pts were enrolled in this study. Patient characteristics were: median age 68 (range 25-84); male/female 32/27; performance status 0/1/2 (15/38/6). The primary tumor site was; 24 pts in gallbladders, 18 pts in intrahepatic bile ducts, 15 pts in extrahepatic bile ducts, and 2 pts in ampulla of Vater. The numbers of the pts with locally advanced, metastatic, and recurrent cases were 8, 44, and 7, respectively. Four pts received gemcitabine monotherapy and 55 pts received gemcitabine and S-1 combination therapy as first-line treatment. Response rate and disease control rate were 1.7% and 56.0%, respectively. The median time-to-progression and median overall survival were 3.9 months (95%CI, 2.6 – 5.0 months) and 6.4 months (95%CI, 4.9 – 8.0 months), respectively. Conclusions: Gemcitabine and cisplatin combination therapy showed a moderate efficacy for the treatment of advanced biliary tract cancer as second-line treatment.
