What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating the combination of donafenib and capecitabine as additional treatment after surgery for patients with biliary malignant tumors who are at high risk of cancer returning. This phase II, randomized, open-label trial compares the safety and effectiveness of donafenib plus capecitabine versus capecitabine alone in preventing recurrence after surgery in this patient group. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either donafenib (200mg orally twice daily continuously for 6 months) combined with capecitabine (1250mg/m2 orally twice daily for 2 weeks followed by 1 week off, repeated for 8 cycles) or capecitabine alone following the same dosing schedule. Treatment continues until the cancer returns or side effects become intolerable. The study plans to include 70 participants. During the study, researchers monitor participants for disease recurrence and side effects. The main measurement is the rate of patients who remain free of disease one year after treatment. Participants undergo regular assessments including imaging to check for cancer return and laboratory tests to monitor health. Safety and treatment adherence are tracked throughout the study period.
