Feasibility of neoadjuvant therapy in resectable biliary adenocarcinoma.
This trial will evaluate whether a neoadjuvant paradigm is feasible in resectable biliary adenocarcinoma. All components of therapy are currently used standards of care, however they have not been used in the neoadjuvant setting for the management of resectable biliary cancers. The study will use Gemcitabine/cisplatin, followed by chemoradiation. This is a feasibility trial with an accrual goal of 12 patients using the primary endpoint of completion of neoadjuvant therapy and surgery as an assessment of feasibility.

Completion of all therapy. Defined as completing 4/6 doses of gem/cis chemo, 80% of RT dose, and surgical resection.
Feasibility trial with accrual goal of 12 patients using primary endpoint of completion of neoadjuvant therapy and surgery as an assessment of feasibility. Interim assessment of first 6 patients enrolled will be performed. Resection rate benchmark for neoadjuvant pancreas trials \~70% accounting for patients found to have progression. Completion of all therapy is defined as completing 4/6 doses of gem/cis chemo, 80% of RT dose, and surgical resection. If 2 or less of first 6 patients enrolled complete all therapy the trial will be closed and treatment will be considered unfeasible. Upon trial completion, if 5 or less of 12 patients complete all therapy the trial will be deemed unfeasible.
Time frame: 5 years
Patients will be evaluated for toxicity during protocol therapy and postoperatively using the CTCAE v 5 criteria.
All patients will be evaluable for toxicity from the time of their first treatment with Gemcitabine/cisplatin using the CTCAE v 5 criteria.
Time frame: 5 years
Margin negative resection rate. This will be measured by the Proportion of patients with involved surgical margins (R1 rate).
This is one of the Pathologic outcomes that will be measured. The margin negative resection rate will be measured by the Proportion of patients with involved surgical margins (R1 rate).
Time frame: 5 years
Lymph node involvement. This will be measured by the Proportion of patients with involved lymph nodes (N0 vs N1).
This is one of the Pathologic outcomes that will be measured. Lymph node involvement will be measured by the Proportion of patients with involved lymph nodes (N0 vs N1).

Radiation Therapy: Sim: All patients will undergo 4D-CT simulation with 3 hours fasting with or without IV contrast. Compression may be used depending on the tumor motion. Radiation Target Volume: The gross tumor volume (GTV) will be defined on all relevant imaging datasets including diagnostic CT, MRI, MRCP and/or ERCP data. An iGTV will be generated using the 4D datasets. The clinical target volume (CTV) will include the entire iGTV as well as portal lymphatic and celiac nodal space for all patients with selective treatment of the SMA and pancreaticoduodenal depending on the tumor location. A 5 mm margin will be added to the CTV to generate the planning target volume (PTV). Radiation Dose: The dose will be 30 Gy in 10 fractions (3 Gy per fraction) for all patients using either 3D Conformal or Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy techniques.
Disease-free survival: From date of registration to date of first documentation of relapse or death due to any cause. Patients last known to be alive and free of disease will be censored at date of last contact.
Time frame: 5 years
Survival outcomes measured by Local Failure Free Survival [LFFS].
Local failure free survival: From date of registration to date of first documentation of local relapse or death due to any cause. Patients last known to be alive and without evidence of local relapse will be censored at date of last contact. Local relapse: Any evidence of new disease within the primary tumor bed or the regional (retroperitoneal, celiac, and portal vein nodes) lymphatics (these areas are to be encompassed within the radiation fields).
Time frame: 5 years
Survival outcomes measured by Overall Survival [OS].
Overall Survival: From date of registration to date of death due to any cause. Patients last known to be alive will be censored at date of last contact.
