Summary

An open label, prospective, non-randomized single arm study. Combination of two treatment modalities - HAI with FUDR and systemic chemotherapy with cisplatin and gemcitabine.

Definition of the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of intravenous gemcitabine in combination with intravenous cisplatin and intra-arterial FUDR. Definition of safety and toxicity of this combined regional and systemic treatment approach. Definition of the response rate after 3 months of hepatic intra-arterial chemotherapy with continuous infusion FUDR with or without ligation of the right or left portal vein, in combination with 3 months of systemic cisplatin and gemcitabine in patients with unresectable intrahepatic or hilar CCC.

A total of 9-18 patients are required. 3-6 patients per dose level. A maximum of three dose levels (1 - 3) has been defined.

Statistical Methodology: Traditional 3+3 dosing algorithm to find MTD.

* Trial with medicinal product
