Summary

This research study is evaluating a drug called cabozantinib as a possible treatment cancer of the bile duct. Cabozantinib is a drug that targets specific pathways inside the cells of the body. By blocking the c-MET and VEGFR2 pathways from sending signals, cabozantinib may prevent cells from multiplying. This drug has been used in other research studies and information from those other research studies suggests that this drug may help to stop the growth of bile duct cancer. In this research study, the investigators are looking to see how well cabozantinib works in slowing the growth of bile duct cancer. The investigators are also assessing the safety and tolerability of cabozantinib in participants with this type of cancer.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Participants must have unresectable or metastatic histologically or cytologically confirmed intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma or extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (i.e. hilar and distal cholangiocarcinoma).
  • Participants must have measurable disease, defined as at least one lesion that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded) as > 20 mm with conventional techniques or as > 10 mm with spiral CT scan. See section 10 for the evaluation of measureable disease.
  • Participants must have failed at least 1 but no more than 2 lines of systemic regimens for advanced cholangiocarcinoma due to disease progression or toxicity.
  • Age ≥ 18 years.
  • Life expectancy of ≥ 3 months.
  • ECOG performance status 1,500/mcL
  • Platelets > 100,000/mcL
  • Hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL
  • Total bilirubin ≤ 2.0 x the upper limit of normal
  • AST (SGOT)/ALT (SGPT) ≤ 5 X institutional upper limit of normal
  • PT/PTT ≤ 1.5 x ULN
  • Creatinine ≤ 1.5 or GFR ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73m2
  • Lipase 140 mm Hg systolic, or > 90 mm Hg diastolic despite optimal antihypertensive treatment within 7 days of the first dose of study treatment
  • Any history of congenital long QT syndrome
  • Any of the following within 6 months before the first dose of study treatment:
  • unstable angina pectoris
  • clinically-significant cardiac arrhythmias
  • stroke (including TIA, or other ischemic event)
  • myocardial infarction
  • thromboembolic event requiring therapeutic anticoagulation (Note: subjects with a venous filter (e.g. vena cava filter) are not eligible for this study)
  • Gastrointestinal disorders particularly those associated with a high risk of perforation or fistula formation including:
  • Any of the following within 28 days before the first dose of study treatment
  • intra-abdominal tumor/metastases invading GI mucosa
  • active peptic ulcer disease,
  • inflammatory bowel disease (including ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease), diverticulitis, cholecystitis, symptomatic cholangitis, or appendicitis
  • malabsorption syndrome
  • Any of the following within 6 months before the first dose of study treatment:
  • abdominal fistula
  • gastrointestinal perforation
  • bowel obstruction or gastric outlet obstruction
  • intra-abdominal abscess. Note: Complete resolution of an intra-abdominal abscess must be confirmed prior to initiating treatment with cabozantinib even if the abscess occurred more that 6 months before the first dose of study treatment.
  • Other disorders associated with a high risk of fistula formation including PEG tube placement within 3 months before the first dose of study therapy
  • Other clinically significant disorders such as:
  • active infection requiring systemic treatment within 28 days before the first dose of study treatment
  • serious non-healing wound/ulcer/bone fracture within 28 days before the first dose of study treatment
  • history of organ transplant
  • concurrent uncompensated hypothyroidism or thyroid dysfunction within 7 days before the first dose of study treatment
  • history of major surgery as follows:
  • Major surgery within 3 months of the first dose of cabozantinib if there were no wound healing complications or within 6 months of the first dose of cabozantinib if there were wound complications
  • Minor surgery within 1 months of the first dose of cabozantinib if there were no wound healing complications or within 3 months of the first dose of cabozantinib if there were wound complications
  • Clinically significant gastrointestinal bleeding within six months of the first dose of study treatment
  • Previous history of pulmonary embolism or deep venous thrombosis
  • Severely impaired lung function or history of interstitial lung disease
  • Concurrent malignancy (other than adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer, superficial transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder, and cervical carcinoma in situ) diagnosed within the past 3 years or any currently active malignancy
  • Psychiatric illness/social situations that would lim
