Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Biliary tract cancer is relatively rare cancer, with generally poor prognosis. In metastatic/recurrent biliary tract cancer, the most commonly used 1st-line chemotherapy is gemcitabine+cisplatin combination. However, there is no standard 2nd-line chemotherapy and there is no validated targeted therapeutic agent, even though this tumor harbors diverse genetic characteristics. TH-302 (1-methyl-2-nitro-1H-imidazole-5-yl)methyl N,N'-bis(2-bromoethyl) diamidophos-phate is a nitroimidazole-linked prodrug of a brominated version of isophosphoramide mustard (Br-IPM). When exposed to hypoxic conditions, TH-302 is reduced at the nitroimadazole site of the prodrug by intracellular reductases leading to the release of Br-IPM. Br-IPM can then act as a DNA crosslinking agent. In areas of normoxia, TH-302 remains intact as a prodrug and toxicity is minimized. In addition, preclinical data suggest that after activation, the active moiety may diffuse to areas outside the hypoxic region, demonstrating a "bystander" effect and possibly exhibiting additional anti-tumor activity. It is well known that biliary tract cancer is hypovascular tumor, so it contains large hypoxic area in the tumor. Therefore it would be worthy to test TH-302 in biliary tract cancer. This study is a phase II study of TH-302 monotherapy as second-line treatment in advanced biliary tract cancer, to investigate efficacy and safety of TH-302 monotherapy.
