Treating Metastatic Pancreatic, Colorectal, Gastroesophageal, or Biliary Cancer with Liposomal Irinotecan, Fluorouracil, Leucovorin Calcium, and Rucaparib
About the Study
This study is focused on patients with pancreatic, colorectal, gastroesophageal, or biliary (bile duct) cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastasized).
Chemotherapy drugs, such as liposomal irinotecan and fluorouracil damage cancer cells. Targeted therapies such as , can keep cancer cells from being able to repair damage.
This study will look at how the rucaparib works with chemotherapy in treating patients with pancreatic, colorectal, gastroesophageal, or biliary cancer. The study will measure the best dose and look at sides effects with this combination of drugs.
Type of Study
This is a single-group, study. That means all people in the study will receive the same combination of drugs.
What the Study Entails
Patients will receive these chemotherapy agents on days 1 and 15 of each cycle:
- liposomal irinotecan intravenously (IV) over 90 minutes
- leucovorin calcium IV
- fluorouracil IV over 46 hours on days 1 and 15.
Patients also receive orally twice daily on days 4-13 and 18-27 of each cycle
The cycle will repeat every 28 days as long as the cancer isn't growing and the patient doesn't have unacceptabled side effects.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 6 months for 3 years.
