Patient-reported outcomes for the phase 3 TOPAZ-1 study of durvalumab plus gemcitabine and cisplatin in advanced biliary tract cancer.

Abstract

4070 Background: TOPAZ-1 (NCT03875235) is a randomized, double-blind, global, Phase 3 study evaluating the efficacy and safety of durvalumab (D) in combination with (+) gemcitabine and cisplatin (GC) as first-line treatment for patients (pts) with advanced biliary tract cancer (BTC).1 D + GC significantly improved overall survival (OS) versus placebo (PBO) + GC and represents a new treatment option. Methods: A pre-planned secondary objective of TOPAZ-1 was to assess pt-reported outcomes (PROs) for pts receiving D + GC versus PBO + GC. Pts with BTC were randomized 1:1 to D (1500 mg) or PBO, + G (1000 mg/m2) and C (25 mg/m2), for up to 8 cycles, followed by D or PBO monotherapy until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or other discontinuation criteria were met. PROs were assessed with the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer 30-item Quality of Life (QoL) Questionnaire, EORTC QLQ-C30 (C30), and the BTC 21-item module, EORTC QLQ-BIL21 (BIL21). Time to deterioration (TTD) was the primary assessment of PROs; defined as the time from randomization to the date of the first pre-specified, clinically meaningful deterioration (e.g. disease progression). The PRO analysis set included all pts from the full analysis set who completed a questionnaire. Results: Compliance rates for PROs were high at baseline (>81%) and remained high (majority >70% over 28 cycles) for both treatment groups. Baseline scores were comparable between treatment groups. Addition of D was well tolerated, with no significant difference in TTD in D + GC versus PBO + GC for pt-reported symptoms or functioning using either C30 or BIL21 (Table), or Global Health Status/QoL (hazard ratio [HR], 0.87; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.69–1.12; p=0.279). Conclusions: Addition of D to GC improved OS (Oh D-Y, et al. J Clin Oncol 2022;40(suppl 4). Abs 378) and was well tolerated with no difference in TTD of QoL for pts, supporting D + GC as a new treatment option for pts with BTC. Clinical trial information: NCT03875235. [Table: see text]
