RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: In the ongoing, randomised, double-blind phase 3 TOPAZ-1 study, durvalumab, a PD-L1 inhibitor, plus gemcitabine and cisplatin was associated with significant improvements in overall survival compared with placebo, gemcitabine, and cisplatin in people with advanced biliary tract cancer at the pre-planned intermin analysis. In this paper, we present patient-reported outcomes from TOPAZ-1. METHODS: In TOPAZ-1 (NCT03875235), participants aged 18 years or older with previously untreated, unresectable, locally advanced, or metastatic biliary tract cancer with an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 or 1 and one or more measurable lesions per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST; version 1.1) were randomly assigned (1:1) to the durvalumab group or the placebo group using a computer-generated randomisation scheme. Participants received 1500 mg durvalumab or matched placebo intravenously every 3 weeks (on day 1 of the cycle) for up to eight cycles in combination with 1000 mg/m2 gemcitabine and 25 mg/m2 cisplatin intravenously on days 1 and 8 every 3 weeks for up to eight cycles. Thereafter, participants received either durvalumab (1500 mg) or placebo monotherapy intravenously every 4 weeks until disease progression or other discontinuation criteria were met. Randomisation was stratified by disease status (initially unresectable vs recurrent) and primary tumour location (intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma vs extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma vs gallbladder cancer). Patient-reported outcomes were assessed as a secondary outcome in all participants who completed the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer's 30-item Quality of Life of Cancer Patients questionnaire (QLQ-C30) and the 21-item Cholangiocarcinoma and Gallbladder Cancer Quality of Life Module (QLQ-BIL21). We calculated time to deterioration-ie, time from randomisation to an absolute decrease of at least 10 points in a patient-reported outcome that was confirmed at a subsequent visit or the date of death (by any cause) in the absence of deterioration-and adjusted mean change from baseline in patient-reported outcomes. FINDINGS: Between April 16, 2019, and Dec 11, 2020, 685 participants were enrolled and randomly assigned, 341 to the durvalumab group and 344 to the placebo group. Overall, 345 (50%) of participants were male and 340 (50%) were female. Data for the QLQ-C30 were available for 318 participants in the durvalumab group and 328 in the placebo group (median follow-up 9·9 months [IQR 6·7 to 14·1]). Data for the QLQ-BIL21 were available for 305 participants in the durvalumab group and 322 in the placebo group (median follow-up 10·2 months [IQR 6·7 to 14·3]). The proportions of participants in both groups who completed questionnaires were high and baseline scores were mostly similar across treatment groups. For global health status or quality of life, functioning, and symptoms, we noted no difference in time to deterioration or adjusted mean changes from baseline were observed between groups. Median time to deterioration of global health status or quality of life was 7·4 months (95% CI 5·6 to 8·9) in the durvalumab group and 6·7 months (5·6 to 7·9) in the placebo group (hazard ratio 0·87 [95% CI 0·69 to 1·12]). The adjusted mean change from baseline was 1·23 (95% CI -0·71 to 3·16) in the durvalumab group and 0·35 (-1·63 to 2·32) in the placebo group. INTERPRETATION: The addition of durvalumab to gemcitabine and cisplatin did not have a detrimental effect on patient-reported outcomes. These results suggest that durvalumab, gemcitabine, and cisplatin is a tolerable treatment regimen in patients with advanced biliary tract cancer. FUNDING: AstraZeneca.

RESUMEN

Biliary tract cancer (BTC) is a rare cancer with poor prognosis, characterized by considerable pathophysiological and molecular heterogeneity. While this makes it difficult to treat, it also provides targeted therapy opportunities. Current standard-of-care is chemotherapy ± immunotherapy, but several targeted agents have recently been approved. The current investigational landscape in BTC emphasizes the importance of biomarker testing at diagnosis. MDM2/MDMX are important negative regulators of the tumor suppressor p53 and provide an additional target in BTC (∼5-8% of tumors are MDM2-amplified). Brigimadlin (BI 907828) is a highly potent MDM2-p53 antagonist that has shown antitumor activity in preclinical studies and promising results in early clinical trials; enrollment is ongoing in a potential registrational trial for patients with BTC.

RESUMEN

Aim: To understand cholangiocarcinoma symptoms, diagnosis and treatment experience from the patient and caregiver perspective, including cholangiocarcinoma's impact on daily life, quality of life (QoL) and mental health. Methods: Patients and caregivers participated in two online surveys (in partnership with the Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation). Results: The patient survey data (n = 707) show a substantial impact of cholangiocarcinoma on QoL and mental health, with 34% of patients reporting symptoms consistent with moderately severe/severe depression. The caregiver survey data (n = 60) show that although caregivers experience satisfaction in their role of caring for a loved one, managing the demands of caregiving exacts a physical, mental and emotional toll. Conclusion: These surveys highlight the need for better palliative and supportive care interventions.


What is this article about? It shows results from two surveys, one for people with cholangiocarcinoma (CCA, pronounced ko·lan·jee·o·car·sin·no·muh), and one for caregivers (people who take care of family or friends with CCA without payment). CCA is a rare and aggressive cancer. The caregivers we surveyed were not necessarily taking care of the people with CCA who we surveyed. We did the surveys to find out how CCA changed the lives of people in these two groups. What were the results? We surveyed 707 people with CCA. Patients reported in the survey that having CCA impacted their daily lives in lots of ways. Most needed help with daily chores like housekeeping and shopping. Both tiredness and anxiety were reported by about two in three people with CCA. More than one in three had said they had symptoms indicating potential depression, which means patients should have their mental health evaluated. CCA also reduced their sexual desire and intimacy with their partner. We surveyed 60 caregivers who reported both good and bad experiences taking care of a person with CCA. The good experiences included knowing that their loved one was well cared for and learning to deal with difficult situations. Many caregivers also felt closer to their loved one with CCA. The bad experiences included exhaustion and emotional and mental stress. Caregivers felt challenged by trying to understand CCA and the treatment options available. What do the results of the study mean? Patients with CCA and their caregivers need more help and support.

RESUMEN

WHAT IS THIS SUMMARY ABOUT?: Researchers wanted to study whether the research drug zanidatamab could help people with a type of cancer called biliary tract cancer. In some people, biliary tract cancer cells make extra copies of a gene called HER2 (also called ERBB2). This is known as being HER2-amplified. Zanidatamab is an antibody designed to destroy cancer cells that have higher-than-normal HER2 protein or gene levels. Zanidatamab is currently under research and is not yet approved for any diseases. Participants in this phase 2b clinical study had tumors that were HER2-amplified and at the advanced or metastatic stage. Participants also had cancer which had become worse after previous chemotherapy or had side effects that were too bad to continue chemotherapy. They also had to meet other requirements to be enrolled. Researchers measured the amount of HER2 protein in the tumor samples of the participants who were enrolled. There were 80 participants with tumors that were both HER2 amplified and had higher-than-normal HER2 protein amounts (considered to be 'HER2-positive'). There were 7 participants with tumors that were HER2-amplified, but had little-to-no levels of the HER2 protein (considered to be 'HER2-low'). All participants in the study were treated with zanidatamab and no other cancer treatments once every 2 weeks. WHAT ARE THE KEY TAKEAWAYS?: In the HER2-positive group, 33 of 80 (41%) participants had their tumors shrink by 30% or more of their original size. In half of these participants, their tumors did not grow for 13 months or longer. No participant in the HER2-low group had their tumors shrink by 30% or more. In total, 63 of 87 participants (72%) had at least one side effect believed to be related to zanidatamab treatment. Most side effects were mild or moderate in severity. No participant died from complications related to zanidatamab. Diarrhea was one of the more common side effects and was experienced by 32 of 87 participants (37%). Side effects related to receiving zanidatamab through the vein, such as chills, fever, or high blood pressure, were experienced by 29 of 87 participants (33%). WHAT ARE THE CONCLUSIONS REPORTED BY THE RESEARCHERS?: The results of this study support the potential for zanidatamab as a new therapy for people with HER2-positive biliary tract cancer after they had already received chemotherapy. More research is occurring to support these results.Clinical Trial Registration: NCT04466891 (HERIZON-BTC-01 study).


The HERIZON-BTC-01 study revealed zanidatamab as a potentially effective treatment for HER2-positive biliary tract cancer after standard chemotherapy fails. Read more in the lay summary by @hardingjjmd, @DrShubhamPant, and coauthors. #BiliaryTractCancer #HER2 #zanidatamab.

RESUMEN

In 2023, the NCCN Guidelines for Hepatobiliary Cancers were divided into 2 separate guidelines: Hepatocellular Carcinoma and Biliary Tract Cancers. The NCCN Guidelines for Biliary Tract Cancers provide recommendations for the evaluation and comprehensive care of patients with gallbladder cancer, intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, and extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. The multidisciplinary panel of experts meets at least on an annual basis to review requests from internal and external entities as well as to evaluate new data on current and emerging therapies. These Guidelines Insights focus on some of the recent updates to the NCCN Guidelines for Biliary Tract Cancers as well as the newly published section on principles of molecular testing.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: Numerous experimental and targeted therapies are under investigation for patients with cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). Objective health-related quality of life (HRQoL) data for patients receiving these therapies are limited. METHODS: Patients engaged in the Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation completed two validated HRQoL surveys: Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy (FACT)-Hepatobiliary and COmprehensive Score for financial Toxicity (COST). RESULTS: Two hundred eight patients were included. Seventy-five percent had intrahepatic CCA and 57% underwent resection, of which 48% had disease recurrence. Twenty-two percent enrolled in a clinical trial and 80% underwent molecular profiling, of which 29% received targeted therapy. While patients enrolled in a clinical trial or received targeted therapy reported similar HRQoL compared to those who did not, they reported higher financial toxicity (p = 0.05 and p = 0.01, respectively). CONCLUSION: Enrollment in a clinical trial or receipt of targeted therapy do not affect a patient's physical, emotional, social, or functional well-being. However, patients report higher financial burden. These therapies are mainly offered in the advanced setting after significant financial strain has been endured and are often only available at large academic centers, creating a physical barrier to access. These findings underscore the need to increase availability and eliminate physical and financial barriers that threaten access and utilization of personalized and progressive therapies.

RESUMEN

The NCCN Guidelines for Hepatobiliary Cancers focus on the screening, diagnosis, staging, treatment, and management of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), gallbladder cancer, and cancer of the bile ducts (intrahepatic and extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma). Due to the multiple modalities that can be used to treat the disease and the complications that can arise from comorbid liver dysfunction, a multidisciplinary evaluation is essential for determining an optimal treatment strategy. A multidisciplinary team should include hepatologists, diagnostic radiologists, interventional radiologists, surgeons, medical oncologists, and pathologists with hepatobiliary cancer expertise. In addition to surgery, transplant, and intra-arterial therapies, there have been great advances in the systemic treatment of HCC. Until recently, sorafenib was the only systemic therapy option for patients with advanced HCC. In 2020, the combination of atezolizumab and bevacizumab became the first regimen to show superior survival to sorafenib, gaining it FDA approval as a new frontline standard regimen for unresectable or metastatic HCC. This article discusses the NCCN Guidelines recommendations for HCC.

RESUMEN

Dose-finding oncology trials (DFOTs) provide early access to novel compounds of potential therapeutic benefit in addition to providing critical safety and dosing information. While access to trials for which a patient is eligible remains the largest barrier to enrollment on clinical trials, additional direct and indirect barriers unique to enrollment on DFOTs are often overlooked but worthy of consideration. Direct barriers including financial costs of care, travel and time investments, and logical challenges including correlative study designs are important to bear in mind when developing strategies to facilitate the patient experience on DFOTs. Indirect barriers such as strict eligibility criteria, washout periods, and concomitant medication restrictions should be accounted for during DFOT design to maintain the fidelity of the trial without being overly exclusionary. Involving patients and advocates and incorporating patient-reported outcomes (PROs) throughout the process, from initial DFOT design, through patient recruitment and participation, is critical to informing strategies to minimize identified barriers to offer the benefit of DFOTs to all patients.

RESUMEN

Background and Aims: Biliary tract cancer (BTC) is a rare, lethal, heterogeneous group of cancers often diagnosed at an advanced stage. While gemcitabine plus cisplatin is the standard of care for first-line treatment of locally advanced or metastatic BTC, no globally accepted standard of care currently exists for second-line treatment of BTC following chemotherapy. However, the treatment landscape is evolving with approvals for therapies targeting actionable mutations. This study aimed to characterize treatment patterns and survival in patients with locally advanced or metastatic BTC. Methods: Patients with advanced or metastatic BTC in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Medicare database between 2010 and 2015 (N = 2063) were included; patients with nonprimary BTC were excluded. Patient and clinical characteristics, line and type of therapy, and overall survival of patients were analyzed. Results: Only 45.5% (n = 938) of patients initiated systemic therapy within 90 days of diagnosis. The most common event following diagnosis was initiation of first-line therapy, and the most common event following first-line treatment was death. Median survival ranged from 5.0 months for patients receiving second-line fluoropyrimidine to 9.7 months for patients receiving second-line gemcitabine. Duration of therapy ranged from 0.7 months for patients receiving second-line fluoropyrimidine to 3.7 months for patients receiving first-line gemcitabine plus cisplatin therapy. Conclusion: Overall survival from diagnosis was poor and influenced by age, sex, stage, mobility limitations, comorbidity burden, poverty, and previous cancer. Treatment patterns varied for patients who progressed following first-line therapy, as there was no consensus second-line treatment for locally advanced or metastatic BTC without clinically targetable mutations.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Engaging diverse populations in cancer genomics research is of critical importance and is a fundamental goal of the NCI Participant Engagement and Cancer Genome Sequencing (PE-CGS) Network. Established as part of the Cancer Moonshot, PE-CGS is a consortium of stakeholders including clinicians, scientists, genetic counselors, and representatives of potential study participants and their communities. Participant engagement is an ongoing, bidirectional, and mutually beneficial interaction between study participants and researchers. PE-CGS sought to set priorities in participant engagement for conducting the network's research. METHODS: PE-CGS deliberatively engaged its stakeholders in the following four-phase process to set the network's research priorities in participant engagement: (i) a brainstorming exercise to elicit potential priorities; (ii) a 2-day virtual meeting to discuss priorities; (iii) recommendations from the PE-CGS External Advisory Panel to refine priorities; and (iv) a virtual meeting to set priorities. RESULTS: Nearly 150 PE-CGS stakeholders engaged in the process. Five priorities were set: (i) tailor education and communication materials for participants throughout the research process; (ii) identify measures of participant engagement; (iii) identify optimal participant engagement strategies; (iv) understand cancer disparities in the context of cancer genomics research; and (v) personalize the return of genomics findings to participants. CONCLUSIONS: PE-CGS is pursuing these priorities to meaningfully engage diverse and underrepresented patients with cancer and posttreatment cancer survivors as participants in cancer genomics research and, subsequently, generate new discoveries. IMPACT: Data from PE-CGS will be shared with the broader scientific community in a manner consistent with participant informed consent and community agreement.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: Patients living with biliary tract cancer (BTC) experience a decline in health-related quality of life (HRQoL). This study aimed to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the patient experience of BTC-related signs/symptoms and the impacts of these on daily functioning and HRQoL. METHODS: Patients with BTC participated in qualitative semi-structured concept elicitation interviews. Signs/symptoms and impacts of BTC were initially explored by targeted literature searches and interviews with five clinicians. Patient interviews were transcribed and coded using qualitative research software. Concept saturation was assessed over five interview waves. A sign/symptom or impact was defined as "salient" if mentioned by ≥ 50% of patients, with a mean disturbance rating of ≥ 5 (0-10 scale). A conceptual model of the patient experience of BTC-related signs/symptoms and impacts was produced. RESULTS: Twenty-three patients from the USA (78% women; median age: 54 years), diagnosed as having early (n = 3), locally advanced (n = 11) or metastatic (n = 9) disease, were interviewed. Sixty-six signs/symptoms and 12 impacts were identified. Of these, 46 signs/symptoms and 8 impacts were not identified from the targeted literature or clinician interviews. Concept saturation was reached by the fourth of five interview waves. Fourteen disease-related signs/symptoms (including fatigue/lack of energy, abdominal pain, lack of appetite, insomnia and diarrhoea) and three impacts (physical, emotional and cognitive impacts) were deemed "salient". The conceptual model included 50 signs/symptoms and 12 impacts. CONCLUSION: Patients with BTC reported a range of signs/symptoms and impacts that negatively affect daily functioning and HRQoL.

RESUMEN

Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a highly lethal adenocarcinoma of the hepatobiliary system, which can be classified as intrahepatic, perihilar and distal. Each anatomic subtype has distinct genetic aberrations, clinical presentations and therapeutic approaches. In endemic regions, liver fluke infection is associated with CCA, owing to the oncogenic effect of the associated chronic biliary tract inflammation. In other regions, CCA can be associated with chronic biliary tract inflammation owing to choledocholithiasis, cholelithiasis, or primary sclerosing cholangitis, but most CCAs have no identifiable cause. Administration of the anthelmintic drug praziquantel decreases the risk of CCA from liver flukes, but reinfection is common and future vaccination strategies may be more effective. Some patients with CCA are eligible for potentially curative surgical options, such as resection or liver transplantation. Genetic studies have provided new insights into the pathogenesis of CCA, and two aberrations that drive the pathogenesis of non-fluke-associated intrahepatic CCA, fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 fusions and isocitrate dehydrogenase gain-of-function mutations, can be therapeutically targeted. CCA is a highly desmoplastic cancer and targeting the tumour immune microenvironment might be a promising therapeutic approach. CCA remains a highly lethal disease and further scientific and clinical insights are needed to improve patient outcomes.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: To develop an evidence-based clinical practice guideline to assist in clinical decision making for patients with resected biliary tract cancer. METHODS: ASCO convened an Expert Panel to conduct a systematic review of the literature on adjuvant therapy for resected biliary tract cancer and provide recommended care options for this patient population. RESULTS: Three phase III randomized controlled trials, one phase II trial, and 16 retrospective studies met the inclusion criteria. RECOMMENDATIONS: Based on evidence from a phase III randomized controlled trial, patients with resected biliary tract cancer should be offered adjuvant capecitabine chemotherapy for a duration of 6 months. The dosing used in this trial is described in the qualifying statements, while it should be noted that the dose of capecitabine may also be determined by institutional and regional practices. Patients with extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma or gallbladder cancer and a microscopically positive surgical resection margin (R1 resection) may be offered chemoradiation therapy. A shared decision-making approach is recommended, considering the risk of harm and potential for benefit associated with radiation therapy for patients with extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma or gallbladder cancer. Additional information is available at www.asco.org/gastrointestinal-cancer-guidelines .
