Oxaliplatin, fluorouracil and leucovorin for advanced biliary system adenocarcinomas: a prospective phase II trial

O Nehls et al. Br J Cancer. .

Abstract

We studied the activity of combined oxaliplatin and fluorouracil-leucovorin in 16 consecutive patients with advanced biliary tract adenocarcinomas. The disease control rate (responses and stable disease) was 56% (95% confidence interval, 29-84%) and the median overall survival time was 9.5 months (range 0.9-26.8+). Therefore, this regimen might be active in biliary adenocarcinomas with further evaluation necessary.
