Phase II Trial of Erlotinib in Combination With Docetaxel in Advanced Hepatocellular and Biliary Tract Carcinomas: Hoosier Oncology Group GI06-101


Outline: This is a multi-center study.

Patients who meet eligibility criteria will receive treatment as follows until disease
progression or excessive toxicities:

- Erlotinib 150 mg p.o. daily on days 2-7, 9-14, 16-28

- Docetaxel 30 mg/m2 IV over 30 min weekly x 3 weeks on days 1, 8, 15

Treatment cycle = 28 days

Performance Status: ECOG performance status 0 to 2

Life expectancy: At least 12 weeks

Hematopoietic:

- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) > 1000 mm3

- Platelet count > 75,000 mm3

- Hemoglobin > 8 g/dL

Hepatic:

- Bilirubin < 2.0 x upper limit of normal (ULN)

- Transaminases (AST, ALT) < 5.0 x ULN if alkaline phosphatase is < 2.5 x ULN, or
alkaline phosphatase < 5 x ULN if transaminases are < 1.5 x ULN.

- If not on anticoagulation: PT < 4 seconds above ULN; INR < 1.5; PTT < 1.3 x ULN.

- If on therapeutic anticoagulation, patients may have an INR > 1.5 and PTT within
therapeutic range; INR will be monitored weekly until stable.

- Serum Albumin > 3.0

Renal:

- Creatinine clearance of > 60 ml/ min (by Cockcroft-Gault)

Pulmonary:

- Not specified


Inclusion Criteria:



- Histological or cytological proof of hepatocellular or biliary tract carcinomas, not
amenable to curative resection or transplantation.

- Prior cancer treatment completed at least 30 days prior to being registered for
protocol therapy and recovered from the acute toxicity effects of the regimen.

- Patients may have had radiofrequency ablation, cryosurgery or embolization, but must
have documented progressive disease with the involved lesion, or at least one
previously untreated lesion.

- Patients may have had ≤ 2 prior chemotherapy regimens.

- Prior radiation therapy allowed to < 25% of the bone marrow at least 30 days prior to
being registered for protocol therapy.

- Patients with biliary obstruction must have percutaneous transhepatic drainage or
endoscopic stent placement prior to starting study treatment.

- Patients with a history of malignancy are eligible provided they have been curatively
treated and demonstrate no evidence for recurrence of that cancer.

- Peripheral neuropathy ≤ grade 1.

- Patients must agree to abstain from frozen or fresh grapefruit or grapefruit juice
for 5 days prior to, and during treatment.

- Patients must be willing to use an effective method of contraception (hormonal or
