Study objectivesThe aim is to assess the pharmacokinetics and efficacy of imatinib in patients with bile duct cancer and to test Positron Emission Tomography (PET) as a diagnostic tool.
Ethics approval(s)Approved by the Local Ethics Committee of Leipzig University on 28 November 2005.
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedNon-resectable bile duct cancer
Intervention1. Continuous second line chemotherapy with imatinib - assessment of response by tumor marker and imaging during follow-up
2. Generation of pharmacokinetic data during the first two days of drug administration and during the following weeks
3. Assessment of the efficacy of PET for evaluation of early treatment response

Added 01/09/09: trial was stopped prematurely due to a lack of a sufficient number of patients (9 in three and a half years).
