About this trial

Prospective observational cohort study including patients with a diagnosis of intrahepatic/perihilar cholangiocarcinoma at the central regional multidisciplinary conference, to assess therapy response, patient-reported quality of life, patient-reported symptoms/experiences and biomarkers. For patients diagnosed with localized unresectable disease, the study will document the multidisciplinary re-assessment of therapy response.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Clinical diagnosis of intrahepatic- or perihilar cholangiocarcinoma at the regional multidisciplinary team conference

For inclusion in the re-assessment arm, a diagnosis of localized, unresectable cholangiocarcinoma at the regional multidisciplinary team conference and clinically evaluated as candidate for tumor-directed medical therapy

Disqualifiers

Age <18 years

Trial population

Swedish patients with newly diagnosed intrahepatic- or perihilar cholangiocarcinoma

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Rate of conversion to resectability, in patients with localized, unresectable cholangiocarcinoma

Change of initial treatment intention

Time frame
At first multidisciplinary re-assessment of therapy response after first-line oncological treatment (typically after 8 cycles, i.e. at an average of approximately 6 months)

Secondary outcomes

1

Recurrence-free survival time

For patients undergoing curative intent surgery

Time frame
From date of surgery until the date of clinical-radiological recurrence or date of death of any cause, assessed at study completion at an estimated average follow-up of 2 years
2

Progression-free survival time

For patients with tumor-directed therapy. Assessment of progressive disease using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumor (RECIST criteria): Complete Response - disappearance of all target lesions. Partial Response - ≥30% decrease in sum of diameters. Progressive Disease - ≥20% increase in sum of diameters (minimum 5 mm absolute increase) or appearance of new lesions. Stable Disease: neither partial response nor progressive disease

Time frame
From therapy starting date until date of first documented progression (recurrence, progressive disease acc. to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumor) or date of death of any cause, assessed at study completion with est. average follow-up 2 years
3

Overall survival time

Time frame
From date of diagnosis until the date of death of any cause, assessed at study completion at an estimated average follow-up of 2 years
4

Patient-reported quality of life according to the European Organization for the Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30)

30 item questionnaire with 3 domains: symptoms, functional- and global health status. Items for symptoms and functioning are scored from 1-4 (symptoms - higher score represents higher level of symptomatology; function - higher score represents higher level of functioning). Items for global health status are scored from 1-7 (higher score represents a higher quality of life). Aggregated domain scores are calculated separately, and standardized to a range from 0 to 100, where a high score for symptoms represents a high level of symptomatology; while a high score for function and global health status represents a high level of functioning and a high quality of life.

Time frame
Sequentially: at inclusion; 1 month after inclusion; before first treatment; 1 month after first treatment; before second treatment; 1 month after second treatment; at 6, 12, 18 and 24 months after inclusion
