Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Subjects must fulfill all of the following criteria for study entry: 1. Signed informed consent form 2. Age = 18 years by the time of inclusion in the study 3. Ability to comply with the study protocol, in the investigator’s judgment 4. Histologically confirmed advanced BTC 5. Patient must have received at least one prior line of systemic therapy in advanced-stage BTC 6. Adjuvant or neoadjuvant chemotherapy is allowed, provided it is completed at least 6 months before start of study treatment. 7. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG PS) of 0 or 1 (see Appendix VI) 8. Life expectancy > 12 weeks 9. Measurable disease, according to RECIST v1.1. Lesions intended to be biopsied should not be defined as target lesions. 10. Tumor must be accessible for biopsies and patient willing to provide tissue from a newly obtained biopsy of a tumor lesion. In exceptional cases, if a pre-treatment biopsy is not deemed feasible by the investigator, archival biopsies can be used after Sponsor approval has been obtained, as long as they were collected no more than 6 months prior to enrollment. 11. Adequate hematologic and end-organ function, defined by the following laboratory test results, obtained within 14 days prior to initiation of study treatment: ? WBC = 2.5 x 109/L ? ANC = 1.5 x 109/L without granulocyte colony-stimulating factor support ? Platelet count = 100 x 109/L without transfusion ? Hemoglobin = 9 g/dL. Patients may be transfused to meet this criterion. ? Albumin = 2.5 g/dL ? Serum total bilirubin = 3 ULN; patients with known Gilbert’s disease may have a total bilirubin = 3.0 x ULN ? Patients not receiving therapeutic anticoagulation must have an INR < 1.5 ULN and PTT < 1.5 ULN . The use of full dose oral or parenteral anticoagulants is allowed as long as the INR or PTT is within therapeutic limits (according to the medical standard of the enrolling institution) and the patient has been on a stable dose of anticoagulants for at least three weeks at the time of initiation of study treatment. Prophylactic use of anticoagulants is allowed. ? Amylase and lipase = 1.5 x ULN ? AST, ALT and ALP = 3 x ULN with the following exceptions: o Patients with documented liver metastases: AST and/or ALT = 5 x ULN o Patients with documented liver or bone metastases: ALP = 5 x ULN ? Serum creatinine = 1.5 ? ULN or Creatinine clearance = 30 mL/min (calculated using the Cockcroft-Gault formula) 12. For women of childbearing potential: Negative serum pregnancy test within 21 days prior to C1D1. Agreement to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use of contraceptive methods that result in a failure rate of = 1% per year during the treatment period and for at least 180 days after the last study treatment. ? A woman is considered to be of childbearing potential if she is post-menarcheal, has not reached a postmenopausal state (= 12 continuous months of amenorrhea with no identified cause other than menopause), and has not undergone surgical sterilization (removal of ovaries and/or uterus). ? Examples of contraceptive methods with a failure rate of = 1% per year include bilateral tubal ligation, male sterilization, hormonal contraceptives that inhibit ovulation, hormone-releasing intrauterine devices and copper intrauterine devices. ? The reliability of sexual abstinence should be evaluated in relation to the duration of the clinical trial and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the patient. Periodic abstinence (e.g., cale

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Malignancies other than BTC within 3 years prior to C1D1 with the exception of those with a negligible risk of metastasis or death (e.g., expected 5-year overall survival > 90%) treated with expected curative outcome 2. Patients with known microsatellite instability high (MSI-H) status. Patients with unknown MSI status are eligible and the MSI status will be analyzed retrospectively. Patients who are then determined to be MSI high will be allowed to continue the study treatment, but will be replaced by microsatellite-stable (MSS) or MSI-low tumors. 3. Untreated CNS metastases. Treatment of brain metastases, either by surgical or radiation techniques must have been completed at least 4 weeks prior to initiation of study treatment. 4. Radiation therapy within 21 days prior to C1D1 and/or persistence of radiation-related adverse effects 5. Prior allogeneic bone marrow transplantation or solid organ transplant for another malignancy in the past 6. Spinal cord compression not definitively treated with surgery and/or radiation 7. Uncontrolled pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, or ascites requiring recurrent drainage procedures 8. Uncontrolled tumor pain. 9. Treatment with any investigational agent or approved therapy within 14 days or two investigational agent half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to C1D1 10. Prior treatment with CD137 agonists or immune checkpoint blockade therapies, including anti-PD-1 and anti-PD-L1 or VEGF/VEGFR inhibitors 11. Known dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase deficiency or thymidylate synthase gene polymorphism predisposing the patient for 5-FU toxicity 12. History of severe allergic, anaphylactic, or other hypersensitivity reactions to chimeric or humanized antibodies or fusion proteins 13. Known hypersensitivity or allergy to biopharmaceuticals produced in Chinese hamster ovary cells or any components of atezolizumab or bevacizumab formulations 14.

History of clinically significant cardiac or pulmonary dysfunction 16. History of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, organizing pneumonia 17. Major surgical procedure within 4 weeks prior to C1D1 or anticipation of need for a major surgical procedure during the course of the study 18. Evidence of tumor invading or abutting major blood vessels 19. Serious non-healing wound, active ulcer or untreated bone fracture 20. History of abdominal fistula or gastrointestinal perforation within 6 months prior to C1D1 21. History of hemoptysis (= ½ teaspoon of bright red blood per episode), or any other serious hemorrhage, or at risk of bleeding 22. INR > 1.5 and aPTT > 1.5 x ULN within 14 daysprior to C1D1 (excluding patients on prophylactic or therapeutic anticoagulation) 23.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of the combination of mFOLFOX6, bevacizumab and atezolizumab in advanced-stage BTC measured by radiographic tumor response;Secondary Objective: • To evaluate the efficacy of the combination of mFOLFOX6, bevacizumab and atezolizumab in BTC by measuring disease control, progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) • To evaluate safety and tolerability of the combination of mFOLFOX6, bevacizumab and atezolizumab in patients with BTC;Primary end point(s): ORR defined as the proportion of patients with a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR), determined by the investigator (INV) following RECIST v1.1;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: ORR will be assessed after 12 weeks of treatment

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): • Disease control rate (DCR) at weeks 12 and 18 • Duration of response (DOR) • Best objective response rate (BORR) • Progression-free survival (PFS) • Time to treatment failure (TTF) • Best percentage change from baseline in tumor size All secondary endpoints above will be based on investigator assessment both by INV-RECIST v1.1 and (also ORR) by modified criteria for immunotherapies iRECIST • ORR by independent radiological review per RECIST v1.1 and by modified criteria for immunotherapies iRECIST • Overall survival (OS) • Safety: incidence and severity of adverse events (AEs) (with severity determined according to NCI CTCAE v5.0), vital signs and clinical laboratory test results;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Weeks 12 and 18 for the Disease control rate (DCR)
