Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This pilot clinical trial studies the safety and effectiveness of continuous hepatic arterial infusion (HAI) of floxuridine (FUDR) alone or in combination with other chemotherapeutic drugs in treating patients with locally advanced cholangiocarcinoma that cannot be removed by surgery. HAI is a method to deliver higher concentrations of FUDR more directly to liver tumors and reduces side effects. HAI alone or in combination with oxaliplatin and/or gemcitabine may significantly improve clinical outcomes of patients with locally advanced cholangiocarcinoma.

- EXPERIMENTAL

- Arm A (HAI FUDR alone)
- description
- * 14-42 days after surgery for insertion of the HAI pump, floxuridine (FUDR) and dexamethasone plus heparin in normal saline to a total volume of 30 ml will be administered through the HAI pump. * This will be repeated on Day 1 of each 28 day cycle. FUDR administration will be a 14-day continuous infusion using the HAI pump. * The pump will be emptied and refilled with heparinized normal saline and dexamethasone on Day 15 of each cycle to be infused over the next 14 days.

- Arm B (HAI FUDR + gemcitabine)
- description
- * Consists of Cohort B1, B2, and B3. Enrollment to specific cohorts will depend on the number of DLTs in each cohort. Each cohort has a different dose of FUDR and gemcitabine. * Gemcitabine IV will be given on Days 1, 8, and 15 of each 28 day cycle in Cohort B1 * Gemcitabine IV will be given on Days 1 and 15 of each 28 day cycle in Cohort B2 \& B3 * 14-42 days after surgery for insertion of the HAI pump, floxuridine (FUDR) and dexamethasone plus heparin in normal saline to a total volume of 30 ml will be administered through the HAI pump. * This will be repeated on Day 1 of each 28 day cycle. FUDR administration will be a 14-day continuous infusion using the HAI pump. * The pump will be emptied and refilled with heparinized normal saline and dexamethasone on Day 15 of each cycle to be infused over the next 14 days.
