P5-5 Phase 2/3 study of bintrafusp alfa with gemcitabine plus cisplatin as first-line treatment of biliary tract cancer
AB052. P-20. Phase 2, open-label study of second-line M7824 treatment in patients with locally advanced or metastatic biliary tract cancer
BACKGROUND: Transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) signaling promotes tumor immunosuppression; its inhibition in the tumor microenvironment may enhance the response to anti-PD-L1 treatment. M7824 is an innovative first-in-class bifunctional fusion protein composed of 2 extracellular domains of TGF-βRII (a TGF-β “trap”) fused to a human IgG1 mAb against PD-L1. Building upon encouraging efficacy observed in a phase 1 study, the present study will evaluate M7824 clinical benefit in patients with pretreated biliary tract cancer (BTC). METHODS: This multicenter, international trial is evaluating M7824 monotherapy in patients with locally advanced or metastatic (LA/M) BTC unselected for tumor PD-L1…
