Study summary

This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of second-line treatment of bortezomib in advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma patients.Half of participants will receive bortezomib while the other half will receive best supporting care.

Read the detailed description

There's no standard second-line treatment for advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma patients.

Previous study indicated high mutation/deletion rate of PTEN gene in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and poor prognosis of those patients with PTEN mutation/deletion. The investigators also found that the activity of proteasomes elevated in cholangiocarcinoma cells with PTEN mutation/deletion.

So the investigators suppose proteasomes inhibitor could improve prognosis of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma patients with PTEN mutation/deletion

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  1. Patients with a histologic or cytologic diagnosis of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma with stage IV;
  2. Have progressed after at least 2 cycles of systematic chemotherapy therapy(gemcitabine+cisplatin/gemcitabine+oxaliplatin);
  3. The previous treatment and the present trial registration must be at least 2 weeks apart, and they must have recovered from any toxicity of a previous treatment;
  4. according to (RECIST), version 1.1;
  5. performance score (ECOG): 0-2; of at least 12 weeks;
  6. Normal liver,kidney and bone marrow function;
  7. Subjects who understand and voluntarily signed a written form.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. History of other within 3 years. Patients with central nervous system or
  2. There is any to use Bortezomib
  3. Patients with contraindications (active bleeding, ulcers, intestinal perforation, intestinal obstruction, within 30 days after major surgery, uncontrolled high blood pressure medication, III-IV level cardiac insufficiency, severe liver and kidney dysfunction).
  4. A previous history of Interstitial pulmonary disease, drug-induced interstitial disease, radiation pneumonitis requiring hormonal therapy or active interstitial lung disease with any clinical evidence.
  5. Pregnant or lactating women.
  6. History of radiation within 4 weeks prior to enrollment.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(9)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Measurable disease

The amount of disease can be tracked with a defined measurement, so the study can see whether it shrinks or grows. It might be a tumour measured on a scan or, in some blood cancers such as myeloma, a marker measured in blood or urine.

The criteria or the study team say which measurement counts — having no tumour visible on a scan does not by itself rule you out.

RECIST

The standard rules for measuring tumours on CT or MRI scans, to tell whether a cancer is shrinking, stable or growing during treatment.

“Measurable disease per RECIST 1.1” usually means at least one tumour 10 mm or more at its longest on a CT scan, or a lymph node 15 mm or more across its short axis.

ECOG performance status

A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.

0
Fully active, no restrictions.
1
Limited in strenuous activity, but walking and able to do light work, such as housework or office work.
2
Walking and able to look after yourself, but unable to work; up and about more than half of waking hours.
3
Able to look after yourself only in part; in bed or a chair more than half of waking hours.
4
Unable to look after yourself at all; in bed or a chair all day.

Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.

Life expectancy

The study doctor’s estimate of how long someone is likely to live. Criteria use it so that people can stay in the study long enough for it to answer its question.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

Metastases

Cancer that has spread from where it began to other parts of the body. “Metastatic” cancer is cancer that has spread this way.

Brain metastases

Cancer deposits in the brain from a cancer that started elsewhere in the body (CNS metastases include the spinal cord).

Studies differ: some leave out any brain metastases, some accept ones treated and stable for some weeks. Check what this study allows.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Nov 17, 2017, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
