Brief summary

The object of this trial is to evaluate whether the introduction of a targeted therapy after 4 cycles of the current standard-of-care treatment for advanced biliary cancer is superior to continuing with the standard treatment. The trial is composed of two phases: (i) An initial screening phase to identify a suitable patient population, during which a molecular profile of the patient's tumour will be obtained, and (ii) a randomised comparative trial in which patients with disease control after 4 cycles of standard treatment, and whose tumour harbours a targetable molecular alteration, will be randomised (2:1) to receive either a matched targeted therapy or to continue with the standard treatment.

Detailed description

This is a Phase 3, multicentre, randomised, open-label trial to evaluate whether the introduction of molecular targeted therapy (MTT) as maintenance after 4 cycles of standard-of-care first-line systemic therapy (1L SoC) is superior to continuation of 1L-SoC in the treatment of patients with ABC. The trial is composed of two phases: (i) An initial screening phase to identify a suitable patient population, and (ii) a randomised comparative trial. The aim of the screening phase is to identify a medically suitable population, to obtain a molecular profile of the patient's tumour, to collect baseline data concerning patient demographics and disease characteristics and to obtain pre-treatment blood and tumour samples for further translational research. A genetic profile will be obtained from tumour-derived DNA and RNA samples by next-generation sequencing and from circulating tumour DNA. The trial Molecular Tumour Board will determine whether each patient harbours a targetable molecular alteration for one or more of the trial MTTs. Patients with disease control after 4 cycles of 1L-SoC, who did not experience limiting toxicity, and whose tumour harbours at least one targetable molecular alteration, will be invited to participate in the randomised phase of the trial in which 159 eligible patients will be randomised (2:1) to receive either maintenance therapy with a matched MTT or to continue 1L-SoC treatment.

Availability of a suitable archived sample of primary or metastatic tumour tissue (frozen, or FFPE) or able to undergo a biopsy to obtain a suitable malignant tissue sample 5. Aged ≥18 years 6. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1 7. Estimated life expectancy \>3 months 8. Candidate for 1L-SoC therapy, or has initiated first cycle of 1L-SoC therapy 9. Affiliated to a social security system or in possession of equivalent private health insurance (according to local country health provision arrangements).

Exclusion criteria

1. Contraindication to 1L-SoC 2. Patients who are candidates for locoregional therapy 3. Contraindication to tumour biopsy in the absence of suitable archived sample of tumour tissue 4. Prior anticancer therapy in the palliative setting. Adjuvant capecitabine allowed if completed ≥ 183 days prior to study entry 5. Received more than 1 cycle of treatment with 1L-SoC 6. Prior treatment with any of the MTT under investigation in the SAFIR-ABC10 study 7. Current malignancies (other than ABC), with the exception of adequately treated cone-biopsied in situ carcinoma of the cervix uteri and basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin. Cancer survivors, who have undergone potentially curative therapy for a prior malignancy, have no evidence of that disease for 5 years or more and are deemed at negligible risk for recurrence, are eligible for the trial 8. Any condition which in the Investigator's opinion makes it undesirable for the subject to participate in the trial or which would jeopardize compliance with the protocol 9. Women who are pregnant or breast-feeding 10. Patients unwilling or unable to comply with the medical follow-up required by the trial because of geographic, familial, social, or psychological reasons 11. Individuals deprived of liberty or placed under protective custody or guardianship RANDOMISED TRIAL Inclusion Criteria: 1. Signed a written informed consent form prior to any trial specific procedures (Consent #2) 2. Molecular profile showing the tumour harbours at least one targetable molecular alteration with a MTT in the study portfolio (as determined by the trial MTB) 3.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Progression-free survival (PFS)From randomisation to disease progression or death, up to 5 years.Time from randomisation to the first documented progression of disease (PD) as assessed by the investigator according to RECIST v1.1, or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Overall Survival (OS)From randomisation to death, up to 5 years.The overall survival is the length of time from randomization that patients enrolled in the study are still alive.
Objective response rateFrom randomisation, up to 5 years.Objective response rate is defined as the proportion of patients achieving complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) (according to RECIST v1.1). Objective response rate will be presented as the best response achieved compared to the disease assessment performed at randomisation.
Time to treatment failureFrom randomisation to treatment failure event, up to 5 years.Time from patient starting their allocated treatment to the date at which a patient first experiences a treatment failure event. The following will be considered as treatment failure events: early treatment discontinuation (regardless of reason), disease progression, death, starting a new treatment after completing scheduled treatment, withdrawal from the study due to any reason or loss to follow-up.
Progression-free survival after next line of treatment (PFS2)From randomisation to second disease progression or death, up to 5 years.Time from randomisation to the date of second disease progression or death, whichever occurs first.
Duration of responseFrom response to disease progression or death, up to 5 years.Duration of response is defined as the time from first documented response (compared to baseline measurement taken at randomisation) until the date of disease progression, as assessed by the investigator according to RECIST v1.1, or death from any cause whichever occurs first.
Disease control rateFrom randomisation, up to 5 years.Disease control rate is defined as the proportion of randomised patients achieving CR, PR, stable disease (SD)/no evidence of disease (NED) as assessed by the investigator according to RECIST v1.1.
Percentage change in tumour sizeFrom randomisation, up to 5 years.Taking the measurements at randomisation as the reference.
