Adjuvant chemotherapy with gemcitabine and cisplatin compared to standard of care after curative intent resection of cholangiocarcinoma and muscle invasive gallbladder carcinoma (ACTICCA-1 trial).

See ANZCTR for full trial details >

 

Trial summary:

ACTICCA-1 is a clinical research study for people who have a cancer of the biliary tract (cancer of the gall bladder or bile duct, also known as cholangiocarcinoma) which has been removed in an operation. It is hoped that the findings of this study will provide details on whether giving cisplatin and gemcitabine chemotherapy following surgery for cancer of the biliary tract is a safe and effective treatment to reduce the chance of disease progression and increase survival time and quality of life.
