Brief Title: A Study to Evaluate Abemaciclib in Advanced Biliary Tract Carcinoma
Official Title: A Pilot Study to Evaluate the Response and Tolerability of Verzenio (Abemaciclib) in Patients With Advanced Biliary Tract Carcinoma
Study ID: NCT04003896
Brief Summary: The prognosis of patients with recurrent, late-stage inoperable, or progressed biliary tract carcinoma (BTC) is generally poor. The goal of this clinical study is to determine the effectiveness and safety of abemaciclib in patients with late-stage or progressed BTC that has failed one line of chemotherapy.
Detailed Description: Biliary Tract Carcinoma (BTC) is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality. The newly developed small molecule inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDK4 and CDK6), abemaciclib, provides a new opportunity of treating patients with BTC. The goal of this clinical study is to determine the efficacy and safety of abemaciclib in patients with advanced or metastatic BTC that has progressed or intolerant to one or more lines of systemic therapy, or treatment-naïve subjects who either decline or being considered not a good candidate first-line systemic chemotherapy per the opinion of the treating physician. The investigator's objectives for this study are as follows: Primary Objectives: • To estimate the objective response rate (ORR) Secondary Objectives: * To determine progression free survival (PFS) * To determine the disease control rate (DCR) * To determine the overall survival (OS) rate at 6 and 12 months * To determine quality of life (QoL) using EORTC-QLQ-C30
