Adjuvant Chemotherapy for BTC Based on 3D-PTA
Adjuvant Therapy for Stage II/III Cholangiocarcinoma Based on 3D-PTA Susceptibility Testing: A Prospective, Multicenter, Randomized Controlled Trial
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 22 Dec 2025
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This is a prospective, open-label, controlled, multicenter clinical study designed to observe and evaluate the efficacy and safety of chemotherapy (including capecitabine monotherapy) guided by 3D-PTA drug sensitivity testing versus capecitabine monotherapy as adjuvant treatment in patients with stage II/III cholangiocarcinoma after surgery.

Who cannot take part
Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.
Prior treatment
- Incomplete surgical recovery or unresolved biliary obstruction;
- Patients with a history of or concurrent other malignancies (except for cured basal cell carcinoma of the skin and in-situ carcinoma of other sites);
- Known allergies to any component of the investigational drug;
- Factors significantly affecting oral drug absorption, such as inability to swallow, chronic diarrhea, or intestinal obstruction;
- Patients using immunosuppressants or systemic/absorbable local corticosteroids for immunosuppressive purposes (dose >10 mg/day prednisone or equivalent) and continuing use within 2 weeks prior to enrollment;
- History of abdominal fistula, gastrointestinal perforation, or intra-abdominal abscess within 4 weeks before the first dose;
- Congenital or acquired immunodeficiency, such as HIV infection, or active hepatitis (liver enzymes not meeting inclusion criteria; for hepatitis B: HBV DNA ≥103/ml; for hepatitis C: HCV RNA ≥103/ml); chronic HBV carriers with HBV DNA <2000 IU/ml (<104 copies/ml) may be included if receiving antiviral therapy during the trial;
- Participation in other drug-related clinical trials within 1 month before enrollment or potential receipt of other systemic anti-cancer therapies during the study;
- Live vaccination within 4 weeks before the first dose or planned during the study;
Other illness
- Pancreatic cancer patients;
- Patients who have undergone other postoperative radiotherapy/chemotherapy; preoperative chemoradiotherapy followed by radical resection, but postoperative pathology still indicates Stage II/III disease is allowed;
- Patients with any active autoimmune disease or a history of autoimmune disease (e.g., but not limited to: autoimmune hepatitis, interstitial pneumonia, uveitis, enteritis, hepatitis, hypophysitis, vasculitis, nephritis, hyperthyroidism, or hypothyroidism; patients with vitiligo or childhood asthma that has been completely resolved and requires no intervention in adulthood may be included; patients requiring bronchodilators for medical intervention due to asthma cannot be included);
- Poorly controlled cardiac symptoms or diseases, such as:
- NYHA Class II or higher heart failure,
- unstable angina,
- myocardial infarction within 1 year,
- clinically significant supraventricular or ventricular arrhythmias requiring treatment or intervention;
- Active infection or unexplained fever >38.5°C during screening or before the first dose;
- History of pulmonary fibrosis, interstitial pneumonia, pneumoconiosis, radiation pneumonia, drug-related pneumonia, or severe lung dysfunction;
- History of substance abuse, alcoholism, or drug addiction;
Lab values
- Coagulation abnormalities (PT >16s, APTT >43s, TT >21s, Fbg >2g/L), bleeding tendency, or receiving thrombolytic/anticoagulant therapy;
- Other factors deemed by the investigator to exclude the patient, such as severe diseases (including mental illness) requiring treatment, significant laboratory abnormalities, or family/social factors that may compromise patient safety or data/sample collection.
Other
- Early-stage BTC patients;
- Patients with radiologically confirmed distant metastasis;
- Symptomatic ascites or pleural effusion requiring therapeutic paracentesis or drainage;
- Inability or unwillingness to bear the cost of self-funded examinations and treatments;
Who the study is looking for
- Signing of written informed consent prior to participation;
- Age ≥18 years, regardless of sex;
- Histologically confirmed stage II/III biliary tract malignancies (including intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, extrahepatic/hilar cholangiocarcinoma, gallbladder cancer, distal bile duct cancer, or ampullary cancer);
- Must have undergone radical resection (R0/R1), including liver/pancreatic resection or, less commonly, both;
- ECOG performance status (PS) score: 0-1;
- Expected survival >6 months and ability to tolerate combined therapy;
- Adequate organ function (without blood component or growth factor support within 14 days):
- Hematology: Neutrophils ≥1,500/mm³, platelets ≥100,000/mm³, hemoglobin ≥9 g/dL;
- Liver/kidney function: Serum creatinine (SCr) ≤1.5×ULN or creatinine clearance ≥50 mL/min (Cockcroft-Gault formula); total bilirubin (TBIL) ≤2×ULN; AST/ALT ≤3×ULN; urine protein <2+ (if ≥2+, 24-hour urine protein ≤1 g); Biliary drainage: Adequate surgical drainage, no signs of infection;
- Normal coagulation function, no active bleeding or thrombotic disease:INR ≤1.5×ULN, APTT ≤1.5×ULN, PT ≤1.5×ULN;
- Contraception:
- Non-surgically sterilized or reproductive-age patients must use medically approved contraception (e.g., IUD, oral contraceptives, condoms) during and for 3 months after treatment;
- Reproductive-age females must have negative serum/urine pregnancy test (HCG) within 7 days before enrollment and must not be breastfeeding;
- Reproductive-age males must agree to use contraception with partners during and for 3 months after treatment;
- Voluntary participation, good compliance, and willingness to follow up for safety and survival assessments.
