Adding durvalumab to gemcitabine-cisplatin lengthened survival in advanced bile duct and gallbladder cancer, the first improvement on chemotherapy alone in more than a decade, with about a quarter of patients alive at two years.
Phase 3 placebo-controlled trial of 685 patients with previously untreated unresectable or metastatic biliary tract cancer randomised to durvalumab or placebo with gemcitabine and cisplatin for up to eight cycles followed by durvalumab or placebo maintenance.
Median overall survival was 12.8 versus 11.5 months (hazard ratio 0.80) with 24-month survival 24.9 versus 10.4 percent, progression-free survival 7.2 versus 5.7 months, and no meaningful increase in toxicity.
Durvalumab with gemcitabine-cisplatin is a first-line standard for advanced biliary tract cancer, with pembrolizumab (KEYNOTE-966) as the alternative.
