Summary

The phase 2 biliary tract cancer cohort was single-arm, open-label, and enrolled 24 participants at four sites, all in South Korea, so its 37.5% response rate has no concurrent control and was not estimated in a United States population. Responses were assessed by investigator review in the reported analysis rather than by the independent radiology review named as the registered primary outcome measure. Participants had received one or two prior systemic therapies, and the response rate differed markedly by line of therapy, 63.6% in the second line against 15.4% in the third line, so the estimate depends on the mix of lines enrolled. Two sources report different durations of response for the same cohort, a median of 9.4 months in the congress abstract and 6.9 months in the trial design publication, and median overall survival had not been reached at the August 12, 2022 data cut-off with a median follow-up of 11.8 months. Toxicity was frequent: treatment-related adverse events of grade 3 or higher were reported in 75% of participants, including one grade 5 pneumonia, and six participants (25.0%) discontinued because of a treatment-emergent adverse event. The study was terminated for a change of development plan, and the second stage of the Simon two-stage design was not conducted after the sponsor agreed with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to move directly to a randomized trial, so the cohort was never expanded to the planned size. No baseline demographic table, quality-of-life outcome, or peer-reviewed full report of the cohort has been published.
