Gemcitabine Plus Cisplatin With or Without Bintrafusp Alfa (M7824) in Participants With 1L BTC

Phase 2
Terminated
Conditions
Cholangiocarcinoma
Gallbladder Cancer
Biliary Tract Cancer
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT04066491
Lead Sponsor
EMD Serono Research & Development Institute, Inc.
Brief Summary

Study consisted of an open-label, safety run-in part and a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2/3 part. In the Phase 2/3 part, the study was evaluated whether bintrafusp alfa in combination with the current standard of care (SoC) (gemcitabine plus cisplatin) improves overall survival (OS) in chemotherapy and immunotherapy-naïve participants with locally advanced or metastatic Biliary Tract Cancer (BTC) compared to placebo, gemcitabine and cisplatin.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Safety Run-in Part: Number of Participants Who Experienced Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs)Day 1 up to Day 21 of Cycle 1 (each Cycle is of 21 days)

A DLT is a toxicity related to the study intervention that meets the following criteria as evaluated in the open-label, safety run-in: Grade 3 or 4 Immune-related adverse event (irAE) that needs permanent discontinuation of M7824 treatment; a malignant skin lesion induced by M7824 that is local and can be resected with a negative resection margin is not a DLT; Grade 3 or 4 nonhematologic toxicity other than irAE, A life threatening hematological toxicity (unless clearly attributable to chemotherapy alone), which is hardly medically manageable, including a bleeding event resulting in urgent intervention and admission to an intensive care unit and Grade 5 toxicity.

Double-blind Part: Overall SurvivalTime from study day 1 up to data cutoff (assessed up to 609 days)

Overall Survival was defined as the time from study day 1 to the date of death due to any cause. The overall survival was analyzed by using the Kaplan-Meier method.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Double-blind Part: Progression-Free Survival (PFS) According to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST Version 1.1) Assessed by Independent Review Committee (IRC)Time from randomization of study drug until the first documentation of PD or death, assessed up to 609 days

Progression free survival was defined as the time from randomization of study intervention until the first documentation of disease progression (PD) or death due to any cause in the absence of documented PD, whichever occurred first. PD: At least a 20 percent (%) increase in the sum of the longest diameter (SLD) taking as reference the smallest SLD recorded from baseline or the appearance of 1 or more new lesions.

Safety Run-in Part: Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), Serious TEAEs (SAEs) and Treatment Related TEAEs According to National Cancer Institute-Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) Version 5.0Time from first treatment up to data cutoff (assessed up to 609 days)

Adverse Event (AE) was defined any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered with a study drug, which does not necessarily had a causal relationship with this treatment. Serious AE was defined AE that resulted in any of the following outcomes: death; life threatening; persistent/significant disability/incapacity; initial/prolonged inpatient hospitalization; congenital anomaly/birth defect. TEAE was defined as events with onset date or worsening during the on treatment period. TEAEs included serious TEAEs and non-serious TEAEs.

Double-blind Part: Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), Serious TEAEs (SAEs), Treatment Related TEAEs and Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESIs) According to NCI-CTCAE Version 5.0Time from first treatment up to data cutoff (assessed up to 609 days)

AE was defined any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered with a study drug, which does not necessarily had a causal relationship with this treatment. Serious AE was defined AE that resulted in any of the following outcomes: death; life threatening; persistent/significant disability/incapacity; initial/prolonged inpatient hospitalization; congenital anomaly/birth defect. TEAE was defined as events with onset date or worsening during the on treatment period. TEAEs included serious TEAEs and non-serious TEAEs. Adverse events of special interest (AESI) are serious or non-serious AEs that are of clinical interest and should be closely followed. For this study, AESIs include the following: Infusion-related reactions including immediate hypersensitivity; Immune-related AEs; Transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ) inhibition mediated skin reactions; Anemia; Bleeding AEs.

Safety Run-in Part: Number of Participants With Grade Greater Than or Equal (>=) 3 Laboratory AbnormalitiesTime from first treatment up to data cutoff (assessed up to 609 days)

Laboratory investigation included hematology and biochemistry. The number of participants with Grade \>=3 laboratory abnormalities were reported. Severity of grade 3 or higher TEAEs were graded using NCI-CTCAE v5.0 toxicity grades, as follows: Grade 3 = Severe; Grade 4 = Life-threatening and Grade 5 = Death.

Double-blind Part: Percentage of Participants With Confirmed Objective Response According to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1) as Assessed by Independent Review Committee (IRC)Time from randomization of study drug up to data cut off (assessed up to 609 days)

Percentage of participants with confirmed objective response that is at least one overall assessment of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) reported here. CR: Disappearance of all evidence of target and non-target lesions. PR: At least 30% reduction from baseline in the sum of the longest diameter (SLD) of all lesions. Confirmed CR = at least 2 determinations of CR at least 4 weeks apart and before progression. Confirmed PR = at least 2 determinations of PR at least 4 weeks apart and before progression (and not qualifying for a CR). Confirmed objective response was determined according to RECIST v1.1 and as adjudicated by IRC.

Double-blind Part: Duration of Response (DOR) According to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1) as Assessed by Independent Review Committee (IRC)From first documented objective response to PD or death due to any cause, assessed up to 609 days

DOR was defined for participants with objective response, as the time from first documentation of objective response (confirmed Complete Response \[CR\] or Partial Response \[PR\]) to the date of first documentation of progression disease (PD) or death due to any cause, whichever occurred first. CR: Disappearance of all evidence of target and non-target lesions. PR: At least 30% reduction from baseline in the SLD of all lesions. PD: At least a 20 percent (%) increase in the SLD, taking as reference the smallest SLD recorded from baseline or the appearance of 1 or more new lesions. DOR was determined according to RECIST v1.1 and assessed by IRC. Results were calculated based on Kaplan-Meier estimates.

Double-blind Part: Durable Response of at Least 6 Months According to Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) Version 1.1 as Assessed by InvestigatorTime from first treatment assessed up to 1148 days

Durable Response was defined as the number of participants with confirmed objective response (CR or PR) according to RECIST 1.1, determined by Investigator with duration of at least 6 months. CR: Disappearance of all evidence of target and non-target lesions. PR: At least 30% reduction from baseline in the SLD of all lesions.
