Overview

This combination therapy is being investigated by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) as an adjuvant treatment for patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma who have undergone surgical resection. The regimen consists of systemic (intravenous) gemcitabine combined with hepatic arterial infusion (HAI) of floxuridine and dexamethasone. Gemcitabine is a nucleoside analog that inhibits DNA synthesis by replacing cytidine during DNA replication and inhibiting ribonucleotide reductase. Floxuridine, a pyrimidine analog, is delivered directly to the liver via an implanted pump to achieve high local concentrations with minimal systemic toxicity. Dexamethasone is added to the HAI pump to reduce the risk of biliary toxicity, specifically sclerosing cholangitis, which is a known side effect of regional floxuridine administration. This multimodal approach aims to reduce the high rate of recurrence following surgical resection of liver-confined bile duct cancers.
