The purpose of this clinical trial is to determine whether the combination of the established chemotherapeutic agent 5-fluorouracil(5-FU) and the large carbohydrate molecule GM-CT-01 is beneficial in treating advanced gall bladder and bile duct cancer.
Determine the overall response rate (ORR) defined as complete response (CR)rate plus partial response (PR) rate using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST), as well as the stable disease (SD) rate in subjects with unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma or other biliary tract tumors treated with GM-CT-01 plus 5-Fluorouracil (DAVFU) at doses of 280 mg/m2 and 600 mg/m2, respectively, during cycles of 4 consecutive days of treatment followed by a 24-day follow-up period.

Objective response rate (ORR) defined as complete response (CR) rate plus partial response (PR) rate using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST)
A minimum of 18 subjects who meet the response evaluation criteria (per protocol population) will be enrolled in Stage 1. This require 2nd CT evaluation of tumor after minimum 2 cycles of treatments. CR, PR, SD and progressive disease (PD) as defined by RECIST criteria.
Time frame: When 18 valuable patients have completed 2nd CT
Stable disease (SD) rate and progression-free survival (PFS) times
A minimum of 18 subjects who meet the response evaluation criteria (per protocol population) will be enrolled in Stage 1. This require 2nd CT evaluation of tumor after minimum 2 cycles of treatments. SD and progressive disease (PD) as defined by RECIST criteria.
Time frame: When 18 valuable patients have completed 2nd CT
Safety, tolerability and Quality of Life (QoL)
Time frame: Any patient completed a drug treatment
