Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to measure the efficacy and safety of rilvegostomig with gemcitabine plus cisplatin vs. durvalumab with gemcitabine plus cisplatin as first line treatment for patients with advanced BTC.

Inclusion criteria

Key inclusion Criteria: * Histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the biliary tract, including intra-hepatic or extra-hepatic cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) and gallbladder carcinoma (GBC). * Unresectable locally advanced or metastatic BTC, previously untreated in the advanced disease setting * Known PD-L1 status assessed at a central laboratory using an acceptable tumor sample. * Measurable disease by RECIST 1.1 criteria using CT or MRI and is suitable for accurate repeated measurements. * ECOG Performance Status of 0 or 1 with no deterioration (ie, ECOG PS \> 1) over the previous 2 weeks prior to baseline at screening and prior to randomization. * Adequate bone marrow and organ function. Key

Exclusion criteria

* Ampullary carcinoma * Any prior systemic therapy received for unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic BTC. * Any prior exposure to any other therapy targeting immune-regulatory receptors or mechanisms. * Any concurrent chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, investigational, biologic, or hormonal therapy for cancer treatment other than those under investigation in this study. * Active or prior documented autoimmune or inflammatory disorders requiring chronic treatment with steroids or other immunosuppressive treatment. * Active or ongoing interstitial lung disease/pneumonitis (of any grade), serious chronic gastrointestinal conditions associated with diarrhea, or active non-infectious skin disease (including any grade rash, urticaria, dermatitis, ulceration, or psoriasis) requiring systemic treatment.

Progression Free Survival (PFS) in the PDL1 ≥ 1% populationapproximately 4 yearsPFS is defined as the time from randomization until radiological progression per RECIST 1.1, or death due to any cause (in the absence of progression), whichever occurs first.

Duration of Response (DoR) in the PDL1 ≥ 1% populationapproximately 4 yearsDoR is defined as the time from the date of first documented response until the date of documented progression using RECIST 1.1 or death due to any cause (in the absence of progression), whichever occurs first.

Assess the safety and tolerability of rilvegostomig in combination with chemotherapy vs durvalumab in combination with chemotherapyapproximately 4 yearsSafety and tolerability will be evaluated by the proportion of treated patients with occurrence of AEs and SAEs as assessed by CTCAE v5.0.
Immunogenicity of Rilvegostomigapproximately 4 yearsPresence of ADA for rilvegostomig (confirmatory results, titres and neutralising antibodies for confirmed positive samples).
PK of rilvegostomig: Lowest observed concentration of study drug before the next dose is administered (Ctrough)Up to 12 weeks after disease progressionLowest observed plasma concentration of the study drug (Ctrough) prior to next dose
PK of rilvegostomig: Maximum plasma concentration of the study drug (Cmax)Up to 12 weeks after disease progressionMaximum observed plasma concentration of rilvegostomig
Serum rilvegostomig concentrationUp to 12 weeks after disease progressionTo assess drug exposure (serum concentration) of IV rilvegostomig.
Assess patient reported biliary tract cancer symptoms (pain)Up to 12 weeks post disease progressionPatient reported biliary tract cancer symptoms (pain) will be evaluated by the proportion of randomized patients with maintained or improved pain as assessed by the EORTC Item Library 445 and EORTC Item Library 446 (custom questionnaires that include measures of pain-in back, in stomach area, during the night; min/max values from 1-4, with higher scores indicating a worse outcome).
Assess patient reported global health status/quality of life (GHS/QoL)Up to 12 weeks post disease progressionPatient reported GHS/QoL will be evaluated by the proportion of randomized patients with maintained or improved GHS/QoL as assessed by the EORTC Item Library 172 (custom questionnaire that includes measures of overall health and overall quality of life; min/max values from 1-7, with higher scores indicating a better outcome).
