Abstract Background TOPAZ-1 demonstrated durvalumab + gemcitabine and cisplatin (GemCis) superiority over GemCis in first-line treatment of advanced biliary tract cancers. Real-world data from US patients and patients excluded from TOPAZ-1 (patients with autoimmune conditions [AICs] who did not receive immunotherapy) are lacking. We report real-world data for patients with cholangiocarcinoma treated with durvalumab + GemCis. Methods This retrospective, observational study enrolled adult patients diagnosed with cholangiocarcinoma in the US from the International Cholangiocarcinoma Patient Registry (ICPR) treated with first-line durvalumab + GemCis between 2021–2023. De-identified medical records from ICPR were obtained directly from consenting patients/caregivers. Patient demographics and tumor characteristics (primary objective; assessed at initial diagnosis), comorbidities, second-line treatment modalities, median real-world overall survival (mrwOS), and median real-world time to next treatment (mrwTTNT; initiation of first-line treatment and last activity in the database or death) are reported. Results Seventy patients received first-line durvalumab + GemCis: 13 (18.6%) had AIC(s) and 57 (81.4%) did not. Patient demographics, clinical characteristics, and comorbidities are shown (Table). Median (quartile 1–3) time from diagnosis to start of first-line treatment was 1.0 (0.7–1.7) months; median follow-up from first dose of first-line treatment was 7.0 (3.7–12.1) months. The mrwOS (95% CI) was 15.5 (15.1–not evaluable [NE]) months. mrwTTNT (95% CI) was 10.8 (10.4–15.7) months overall and was 20.8 (10.4–NE) months in patients who died without receiving subsequent treatment (censored at date of last activity). Among patients with AIC(s), <5 received second-line therapy (all received chemotherapy alone). Among patients with no AICs, 15 received second-line treatment; 11 (73.3%) received targeted therapy alone and <5 received chemotherapy alone. Conclusions This dataset demonstrates patients with AIC(s) are treated with durvalumab + GemCis in clinical practice. The mrwOS for durvalumab + GemCis in this patient population is consistent with TOPAZ-1 and global real-world studies.

Abstract Background & Objectives Based on the TOPAZ-I study, durvalumab combined with gemcitabine and cisplatin (GemCis) is now supported as a standard of care treatment for cholangiocarcinoma. Patients with extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (eCCA) often have underlying autoimmune conditions (AICs) which could restrict immunotherapy use. Treatment patterns in patients with eCCA with AICs and non-autoimmune conditions (NAICs) are reported. Method This retrospective observational analysis of adult patients diagnosed with eCCA in the United States enrolled in the International Cholangiocarcinoma Patient Registry between 2019 and 2023, focused on those treated with durvalumab. The registry contains de-identified data from medical records obtained directly from consenting patients and caregivers. Patients were followed from index date (date of eCCA diagnosis) until the last activity in the database or death. Demographics, clinical characteristics, biomarkers, treatment patterns, and adverse events (AEs) are reported. Results Overall, 135 patients with eCCA were enrolled: 24 (17.8%) had 2:1 AICs and 111 (82.2%) had NAICs. Baseline demographics were comparable between groups: the median (quartile [Q]l-Q3) age at diagnosis was 63.0 (55.0-70.0) years, the mean number of comorbidities in the overall population was 10.1, and 50.4% of patients were female. PD-Ll positivity was noted in 12.6% of patients and HER2 positivity in 10.4%. Of 91 patients with eCCA who received first-line therapy, 34 (37.4%) received GemCis alone, 27 (29.7%) chemotherapy alone (non-GemCis +/- nab-paclitaxel), 9 (9.9%) GemCis plus nab-paclitaxel, 7 (7.7%) durvalumab plus GemCis, 7 (7.7%) durvalumab monotherapy or in combination, and 7 (7.7%) other regimens. Treatment patterns by autoimmune comorbidity status are also reported (Table). Overall, 129 patients (95.6%) had ≥1 AE; fatigue was the most common (71.1%). Conclusion More patients with eCCA received a first-line durvalumab-based regimen post-March 2022 vs the full study period. The use of durvalumab as first-line treatment in this subgroup may suggest that AICs do not restrict its use.
