TPS351 Background: Biliary tract cancer (BTC) carries a poor prognosis and no first-line treatments are approved. The accepted global standard of care is gemcitabine + cisplatin (GemCis). NUC-1031 is a phosphoramidate transformation of gemcitabine designed to overcome key cancer resistance mechanisms that are associated with gemcitabine. Promising efficacy has been observed with single-agent NUC-1031 in a phase I study in advanced solid tumors and in the phase Ib ABC-08 study of NUC-1031 + cisplatin for first-line treatment of advanced BTC. Of 14 patients enrolled in 2 cohorts (NUC-1031 625 mg/m2 or 725 mg/m2 + cisplatin 25 mg/m2 on Days 1 and 8 of 21-day cycle), 1 had a CR and 6 had PRs, resulting in an unconfirmed ORR of 50%. This represents an approximate doubling of ORR over SoC. The combination was well-tolerated with no unexpected AEs or DLTs. The RP2D of NUC-1031 with cisplatin was 725 mg/m2. The tolerability profile, together with encouraging efficacy, suggested NUC-1031 + cisplatin may represent a more effective therapy than GemCis for BTC and led to initiation of a global registrational study. Methods: NuTide:121 is a Phase III, open-label, randomized study of NUC-1031 + cisplatin vs GemCis for first-line treatment of advanced BTC. Patients ≥18 years with histologically- or cytologically-confirmed BTC (including cholangiocarcinoma, gallbladder, or ampullary cancer), who have had no prior systemic chemotherapy for locally advanced/metastatic disease, are eligible. A total of 828 patients are being randomized (1:1) to either 725 mg/m2 NUC-1031 or 1000 mg/m2 gemcitabine, both with 25 mg/m2 cisplatin, administered on days 1 and 8 of 21-day cycles. Primary objectives are OS and ORR. Secondary objectives include PFS, safety, PK and patient-reported quality of life. In addition to the final analysis, three interim analyses, including two designed to support accelerated approval, are planned. The study has passed an initial safety analysis, with no protocol changes required. NuTide:121 is being conducted at approximately 130 sites across North America, Europe and Asia Pacific countries. Clinical trial information: NCT04163900.

TPS4164 Background: Biliary tract cancer (BTC) is an aggressive disease with a poor prognosis. Gemcitabine + cisplatin (GemCis) is the accepted global standard of care (SoC), however key cancer resistance mechanisms associated with the transport, activation and breakdown of gemcitabine are known to limit its clinical activity across a range of tumor types, including BTC. NUC-1031 is a phosphoramidate transformation of gemcitabine designed to overcome these key resistance mechanisms and generate much higher levels of the active anti-cancer metabolite, dFdCTP, in cells. Promising efficacy has been observed with single-agent NUC-1031 in a phase I study in advanced solid tumors and in the phase Ib ABC-08 study of NUC-1031 + cisplatin for first-line treatment of advanced BTC. Of 21 patients enrolled in 2 dose cohorts (NUC-1031 625 mg/m2 or 725 mg/m2 + cisplatin 25 mg/m2 on Days 1 and 8 of 21-day cycle), 16 were considered to be efficacy evaluable. In this population, 1 patient had a CR and 6 patients had PRs, resulting in an ORR of 44% (7/16). This compares favorably to the 26% ORR reported for the SoC regimen. In addition, 6 patients had SD, resulting in a DCR of 81% (13/16). The combination was well tolerated with no unexpected AEs or DLTs. The recommended dose of NUC-1031 with cisplatin was 725 mg/m2. The tolerability profile, together with encouraging efficacy led to initiation of a global registrational study. Methods: NuTide:121 is a phase III, open-label, randomized study of NUC-1031 + cisplatin vs GemCis for first-line treatment of advanced BTC. Patients ≥18 years with histologically- or cytologically-confirmed BTC (including cholangiocarcinoma, gallbladder, or ampullary cancer), who have had no prior systemic chemotherapy for locally advanced/metastatic disease, are eligible. A total of 828 patients are being randomized (1:1) to either 725 mg/m2 NUC-1031 or 1000 mg/m2 gemcitabine, both with 25 mg/m2 cisplatin, administered on Days 1 and 8 of 21-day cycles.

TPS602 Background: Biliary tract cancer (BTC) carries a poor prognosis and has no approved treatments. Although gemcitabine + cisplatin (GemCis) is accepted as the global standard of care (SoC) for 1st-line treatment, the reported unconfirmed ORR and OS from randomized studies of this combination are low at 18.5-26.1% and 11.2-11.7 months, respectively. NUC-1031, a phosphoramidate transformation of gemcitabine, is designed to overcome key cancer resistance mechanisms associated with gemcitabine. Promising signs of efficacy have been observed with single-agent NUC-1031 in a Phase I study in advanced solid tumors (Blagden et al 2018) and in the Phase Ib ABC-08 study of NUC-1031 + cisplatin 25 mg/m2 on days 1 and 8 of a 21-day cycle for the 1st-line treatment of advanced BTC. Of 14 patients (pts) enrolled in 2 cohorts (NUC-1031: 625 mg/m2 and 725 mg/m2), 1 pt achieved a CR and 6 pts achieved PR, giving an unconfirmed ORR of 50% and representing an approximate doubling of ORR over SoC. The combination was well-tolerated with no unexpected adverse events or dose-limiting toxicities. The RP2D of NUC-1031 in combination with cisplatin is 725 mg/m2. The tolerability profile together with robust efficacy signals suggested NUC-1031 + cisplatin may represent a more effective therapy than GemCis for BTC and led to initiation of a global Phase III study. Methods: A Phase III, open-label, randomized head-to-head study of NUC-1031 + cisplatin versus GemCis for 1st-line treatment of advanced BTC will include pts ≥18 years with histologically- or cytologically-proven BTC (including cholangiocarcinoma, gallbladder, or ampullary cancer), who have had no prior systemic chemotherapy for locally advanced/metastatic disease. A total of 828 pts will be randomized (1:1) to either 725 mg/m2 NUC-1031 + 25 mg/m2 cisplatin or 1000 mg/m2 gemcitabine + 25 mg/m2 cisplatin, administered on days 1 and 8 of a 21-day cycle. Primary objectives are OS and ORR. Secondary objectives include further measurements of efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics, and patient-reported quality of life. The study will be conducted at approximately 120 sites across North America, Europe and Asia Pacific countries. Clinical trial information: NCT04163900.

TPS4156 Background: Cisplatin and gemcitabine (CisGem) is the global standard of care for 1st-line treatment of patients (pts) with advanced biliary tract cancer (BTC). No agents have regulatory approval for this disease. CisGem achieves an objective response rate (ORR) of 26% and median overall survival (OS) of 11.7 months (ABC-02). Key cancer resistance mechanisms limit gemcitabine efficacy. NUC-1031, a phosphoramidate transformation of gemcitabine, is designed to overcome resistance mechanisms associated with poor gemcitabine response. Promising signs of efficacy have been observed with single agent in a phase I study in solid tumors (Blagden et al 2018) and in the phase Ib ABC-08 study of NUC-1031 + cisplatin 25 mg /m2 d1, d8 q 21 days for the 1st-line treatment of advanced BTC. 14 pts have been enrolled across 2 cohorts (NUC-1031: 625 mg/m2 and 725 mg/m2). In 11 pts evaluable for response ORR was 64% (1 CR, 6 PRs) and DCR was 73%. PFS/OS data is maturing. The combination was very well-tolerated with no unexpected adverse events or dose-limiting toxicities. The RP2D in combination with cisplatin is 725 mg/ m2. Safety, coupled with encouraging efficacy signal has led to initiation of a global Phase III development program. Methods: A Phase III, open-label, randomized head-to-head study of NUC-1031 + cisplatin versus CisGem for the 1st-line treatment of advanced BTC will include pts ≥18 years with histologically- or cytologically-proven BTC (including cholangiocarcinoma, gallbladder, or ampullary cancer), that is not resectable and who have had no prior systemic chemotherapy for locally advanced/metastatic disease. A total of 828 pts will be randomized (1:1) to either 725 mg/m2 NUC-1031 + 25 mg/m2 cisplatin or 1000 mg/m2 gemcitabine + 25 mg/m2 cisplatin, administered on Days 1 and 8 of a 21-day cycle, respectively. Primary objectives are OS and ORR. Secondary objectives include further measurements of efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics, and patient-reported quality of life. The study will be conducted at approximately 120 sites across North America, Europe and Asia Pacific countries. Clinical trial information: NCT02351765.

535 Background: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SHR-1210 (a humanized anti-programmed cell death receptor 1 antibody) plus gemcitabine and oxaliplatin (GEMOX) as first line treatment in patients (pts) with biliary tract cancer (BTC). Methods: This was a single-arm, single-center, exploratory trial, which included advanced BTC pts. Pts received SHR-1210 (3mg/kg, total dose ≤200mg, ivd, D1/2W) combined with gemcitabine (800 mg/m2, ivd, D1/2W) and oxaliplatin (85mg/m2, ivd, D2/2W). Combined chemotherapy lasted for no more than 12 cycles. Once chemotherapy intolerance occurred or at end of 12-cycle combined chemotherapy, pts with stable disease or objective response would continue to take SHR-1210 as single agent until disease progression or intolerable toxicity. The primary endpoint was the 6-month progression free survival (PFS) rate. Results: From February 2018 to April 2019, 37 eligible pts were enrolled. The median age was 64 (range 41-74) years, male/female was 70.3/29.7%, and bile duct cancer/gallbladder cancer was 59.5/40.5%. All 37 pts were included in the safety analysis. The overall AE incidence rate was 97.3%. The incidence of grade ≥3 AEs was 73.0%, which mainly included increased GGT (gammaglutamyltransferase, 18.9%), hypokalemia (18.9%), and fatigue (16.2%). Particularly, the incidence of fever is 73.0%, in which 2 pts experienced grade 3/4 fever. Among 36 evaluable pts, 19 pts got partial response (PR, 52.8%), 14 pts stable disease (SD, 38.9%), and 3 pts progressive disease (PD, 8.3%) at best. The primary endpoint 6-month PFS rate was 50.0% (95% CI 32.4-65.4), which indicated that the primary endpoint of the study was reached, and mPFS was 6.2 months (95% CI 4.2-7.1). The 12-month overall survival (OS) rate was 50.5% (95% CI 30.6-67.4), and mOS was 12.1 months (95% CI 8.0-NA). Conclusions: This study has reached the pre-defined primary endpoint with a high response rate. Predictive biomarker analysis was reported in another abstract. Further study is needed to validate the efficacy of this combination. Clinical trial information: NCT03486678.
