Cholangiocarcinoma, Liver Neoplasms
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Cholangiocarcinoma

- Patient must have disease that is unresectable or borderline resectable with < 70% liver involvement by cancer
- Patient must be >= 18 years old.
- Patient's Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status must be =< 2 (Karnofsky >= 60%)
Patient must have normal organ and marrow function as defined below:
- Absolute neutrophil count >= 1,500/mcL
- Platelets >= 75,000/mcL
- Total bilirubin =< 2 mg/dL

- Creatinine <= institutional upper limit normal
- Patient must be able to understand and willing to sign a written informed consent document
Exclusion Criteria:

Arm A (HAI FUDR alone)
Arm B (HAI FUDR + gemcitabine)
Arm C (HAI FUDR + gemcitabine + oxaliplatin)
14-42 days after surgery for insertion of the HAI pump, floxuridine (FUDR) and dexamethasone plus heparin in normal saline to a total volume of 30 ml will be administered through the HAI pump. This will be repeated on Day 1 of each 28 day cycle. FUDR administration will be a 14-day continuous infusion using the HAI pump. The pump will be emptied and refilled with heparinized normal saline and dexamethasone on Day 15 of each cycle to be infused over the next 14 days.
Consists of Cohort B1, B2, and B3. Enrollment to specific cohorts will depend on the number of DLTs in each cohort. Each cohort has a different dose of FUDR and gemcitabine. Gemcitabine IV will be given on Days 1, 8, and 15 of each 28 day cycle in Cohort B1 Gemcitabine IV will be given on Days 1 and 15 of each 28 day cycle in Cohort B2 & B3 14-42 days after surgery for insertion of the HAI pump, floxuridine (FUDR) and dexamethasone plus heparin in normal saline to a total volume of 30 ml will be administered through the HAI pump.
