Resumen
Fecha de inicio: 1 de octubre de 2002
Fecha en la que se inscribió al primer participante.OBJECTIVES: Primary * Determine the response rate in patients with advanced and/or inoperable cholangiocarcinoma or carcinoma of the gallbladder treated with gemcitabine and capecitabine. Secondary * Determine time to disease progression and overall survival of patients treated with this regimen. * Determine quality of life of patients treated with this regimen. OUTLINE: This is an open-label study. Patients receive gemcitabine IV over 30 minutes on days 1 and 8 and oral capecitabine twice daily on days 1-14. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Quality of life is assessed at baseline and at weeks 3, 6, 9, and 12. Patients are followed monthly. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 9-17 patients will be accrued for this study within 1.5 years.
