LBA5 Background: Available 2L therapies offer limited clinical benefit in mPDAC with reported mPFS of 3–4 mo and mOS of 6–7 mo. Aberrant RAS pathway activation is the key driver of PDAC, with oncogenic RAS mutations (mut) identified in >90% of cases, most commonly at codon G12. Daraxonrasib is an oral, RAS(ON) multi-selective, tri-complex inhibitor of the active, GTP-bound state of mutant and wild type RAS. Methods: RASolute 302 (NCT06625320) is a global, randomized, open-label, Ph 3 study in pts with 2L mPDAC and ECOG PS 0-1. Pts were randomized 1:1 to receive daraxonrasib 300 mg PO QD or investigator’s choice of SOC cytotoxic chemo. Dual primary endpoints were OS and PFS by BICR in the RAS G12 mutant (RAS G12) population. Key secondary endpoints included OS and PFS by BICR in the overall population, ORR by BICR in RAS G12 and overall populations. Results: 248 pts were randomized to daraxonrasib and 252 to chemo. Baseline characteristics were balanced between arms. At data cutoff (Feb 10, 2026; mFU: 8.5 mo), all primary and key secondary endpoints were met. Statistically significant, clinically meaningful improvements in OS and PFS were observed with daraxonrasib vs chemo in the RAS G12 and overall populations (Table). Gr ≥3 TRAEs occurred in 43.6% of pts receiving daraxonrasib vs 57.5% receiving chemo. The most common (≥10%) Gr ≥3 TRAEs were rash (13.7%) and stomatitis (12.0%) for daraxonrasib; neutrophil decrease (18.2%) and anemia (16.4%) for chemo. TRSAEs occurred in 10.8% of pts receiving daraxonrasib vs 18.7% receiving chemo. Discontinuation due to TRAEs occurred in 1.2% of pts for daraxonrasib vs 11.2% for chemo. Median/mean daraxonrasib dose intensity was 93.1%/84.7%. Conclusions: Daraxonrasib demonstrated unprecedented improvements in OS and PFS vs chemo in pts with 2L mPDAC with or without an identified tumor RAS mut. Daraxonrasib was generally well tolerated, with a manageable safety profile and with no new safety signals. Results support daraxonrasib as the new SOC for 2L mPDAC.

Abstract Molecular profiling reveals that up to 40% of advanced biliary tract cancers (BTCs) harbor actionable genomic alterations amenable to matched targeted therapies. However, conventional trial designs typically evaluate these agents in pretreated populations, resulting in approvals for later-line use. Notably, 25–44% of patients with advanced BTC may become ineligible for treatment after first-line therapy due to disease progression or functional decline, thus the real-world survival outcomes with matched therapies remains poorly characterized. This international collaborative study includes data from Mayo Clinic, Duke Cancer Institute, and National Cancer Center East (Japan), as well as a combined dataset from the SCRUM-Japan GOZILA, MONSTAR-SCREEN-1, and MONSTAR-SCREEN-2 projects. We assessed overall survival (OS) of patients based on the presence of actionable alterations and the receipt of matched therapy. To adjust for confounding, we applied propensity score weighting with inverse probability of treatment and multivariate Cox regression modeling, controlling for age, sex, tumor location, prior resection, and mutational subgroup. Among 1,049 patients that were analyzed, 358 (34.1%) harbored actionable alterations, with 160 (44.7%) receiving matched targeted therapy. The matched group (patients with actionable tumors who received a matched therapy) were significantly associated with longer median OS (23.3 months; 95% CI: 19.5–30.4) compared to the unmatched group (14.7 months; 95% CI: 12.8–17.9) and those with non-actionable tumors (17.1 months; 95% CI: 15.5–18.7; HR 0.57, 95% CI: 0.46–0.71; p < 0.0001). The unmatched group also was associated with the lowest three-year OS rate (13% vs. 35% in matched and 19% in actionable groups, respectively; p<0.0001). On multivariable analysis with patients who received ≥2 lines of therapy, receipt of matched therapy remained an independent predictor of improved OS (HR 0.62; 95% CI 0.43–0.90). These findings support the early integration of targeted therapies in BTC management and underscore the need to overcome systemic barriers to treatment access.

Abstract Purpose: Isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) 1/2–isoform inhibitors have clinical efficacy in IDH1/IDH2-mutated neoplasms. However, primary resistance and secondary resistance limit their therapeutic potential. LY3410738, an oral, brain-penetrant, dual IDH1/IDH2-mutated isoform-selective inhibitor, was designed to overcome resistance. Patients and Methods: This global, multicenter, open-label, phase I study of patients with IDH-mutant solid tumors evaluated LY3410738 as monotherapy (dose escalation) for advanced solid tumors in combination with cisplatin–gemcitabine (CISGEM) for newly diagnosed cholangiocarcinoma or with durvalumab for relapsed/refractory cholangiocarcinoma (dose expansion; NCT04521686). Primary objectives were the maximum tolerated dose, recommended phase II dose, and preliminary antitumor activity. Safety, pharmacokinetics, inhibition of D-2-hydroxyglutarate, and ctDNA were assessed. Results: Overall, 119 patients received LY3410738 alone (N = 94) or in combination with CISGEM (N = 19) or durvalumab (N = 6). No dose-limiting toxicities were observed; the maximum tolerated dose was not determined. Common adverse events included nausea, vomiting, and decreased appetite. Overall response rates of 5.2% and 11.1% and disease control rates of 56.9% and 63.0% were observed for patients with relapsed/refractory IDH1- or IDH2-mutant cholangiocarcinoma or IDH1-mutant glioma, respectively. D-2-hydroxyglutarate normalization was rapid and durable. In dose-expansion cohorts, combination treatments were tolerable, with one dose-limiting toxicity in the durvalumab cohort. LY3410738 plus CISGEM demonstrated a response rate of 42.1%, a median duration of response of 8.1 months, and a median progression-free survival of 10.2 months for patients with newly diagnosed IDH-mutant cholangiocarcinoma. Conclusions: LY3410738 demonstrated largely cytostatic antitumor activity in IDH1- or IDH2-mutated cholangiocarcinoma and IDH1-mutated gliomas. LY3410738 plus CISGEM exhibited favorable antitumor activity in patients with treatment-naïve IDH-mutated cholangiocarcinoma, warranting further exploration as a treatment strategy.

LBA4005 Background: To date, no phase 3 clinical trial has demonstrated an overall survival (OS) benefit in patients with locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma (LA-PAC). TTFields are electric fields that disrupt cancer cell division. TTFields therapy is approved for glioblastoma, pleural mesothelioma, and metastatic non-small cell lung cancer. A phase 2 trial in PAC demonstrated the safety and preliminary efficacy of TTFields therapy with gemcitabine with or without nab-paclitaxel. We report final data from PANOVA-3 (NCT03377491), the largest global, phase 3, randomized, open-label trial in LA-PAC to date. Methods: Adult patients with newly diagnosed unresectable LA-PAC were randomized 1:1 to receive TTFields therapy (150 kHz) with gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel (GnP) or GnP. The primary endpoint was OS. Secondary endpoints included progression-free survival (PFS), local PFS, objective response rate (ORR), and pain-free survival. Distant PFS (metastases beyond the pancreas and regional lymph nodes) was assessed post hoc. Survival data were compared using the Kaplan-Meier method and a log-rank test. Results: 571 patients were randomized. Baseline characteristics were generally well balanced between the study arms. OS was significantly longer with TTFields/GnP than with GnP (median 16.2 [95% CI: 15.0, 18.0] vs 14.2 months [95% CI: 12.8, 15.4]; HR 0.82 [95% CI: 0.68, 0.99], p=0.039). One-year survival rate was also significantly improved with TTFields/GnP vs GnP (68.1% [95% CI: 62.0-73.5] vs 60.2% [95% CI: 54.2-65.7], p=0.029). There was no significant difference in PFS or local PFS between arms. Pain-free survival was significantly longer with TTFields/GnP vs GnP (median 15.2 [95% CI: 10.3, 22.8] vs 9.1 months [95% CI: 7.4, 12.7]; HR 0.74 [95% CI: 0.56, 0.97], p=0.027). Post-hoc analysis showed significant distant PFS benefit (median 13.9 [95% CI: 12.2, 16.8] vs 11.5 months [95% CI: 10.4, 12.9], HR 0.74 [95% CI: 0.57, 0.96], p=0.022) with TTFields/GnP vs GnP. ORR was similar between arms (36.1% [95% CI: 30.0, 42.4] vs 30.0% [95% CI: 24.3, 36.2], p=0.094). 97.8% and 98.9% of patients who received TTFields/GnP and GnP, respectively, had adverse events (AEs) and 88.6% and 84.3% had grade ≥3 AEs. The most frequent grade ≥3 AEs were neutropenia (47.8% and 47.6%) and anemia (21.9% and 22.3). 81% of patients receiving TTFields/GnP had device-related AEs, mostly grade 1/2 skin AEs, e.g., dermatitis (27.7%), rash (17.5%), and pruritus (15.0%); grade 3 and grade 4 device-related AEs occurred in 9.1% and 0.4% of patients, respectively. Conclusions: PANOVA-3 is the largest phase 3 trial exclusively performed in patients with LA-PAC and the first to show a statistically significant OS benefit. With no additive systemic toxicity and a statistically significant pain-free survival benefit, TTFields therapy is a potential new standard treatment for LA-PAC. Clinical trial information: NCT03377491 .

PURPOSE Tumor treating fields (TTFields) use alternating electric fields to disrupt cancer cell proliferation. Feasibility of TTFields therapy with gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel was previously demonstrated in patients with advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma. PANOVA-3 was designed to confirm safety and efficacy of TTFields in patients with unresectable locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma (LA-PAC). METHODS In this global phase III trial, 571 patients with newly diagnosed LA-PAC were randomly assigned to receive gemcitabine 1,000 mg/m 2 and nab-paclitaxel 125 mg/m 2 by intravenous infusion once a day on days 1, 8, and 15 of a 28-day cycle with or without TTFields. The primary end point was overall survival (OS). Secondary end points included progression-free survival (PFS), local PFS, pain-free survival, and overall response rate (ORR). Distant PFS was analyzed post hoc. RESULTS OS was significantly prolonged using TTFields with gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel versus gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel (median, 16.2 months [95% CI, 15.0 to 18.0] v 14.2 months [95% CI, 12.8 to 15.4]; hazard ratio [HR], 0.82 [95% CI, 0.68 to 0.99]; P = .039). PFS, local PFS, and ORR were not improved. Pain-free survival was significantly prolonged with TTFields with gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel (median, 15.2 months [95% CI, 10.3 to 22.8] v 9.1 months [95% CI, 7.4 to 12.7]; HR, 0.74 [95% CI, 0.56 to 0.97]; P = .027), as was distant PFS (median, 13.9 months [95% CI, 12.2 to 16.8] v 11.5 months [95% CI, 10.4 to 12.9]; HR, 0.74 [95% CI, 0.57 to 0.96]; P = .022). Device-related skin adverse events (AEs) were experienced by 76.3% of patients. Most device-related skin AEs were mild to moderate, with 7.7% of patients reporting a grade 3 AE. CONCLUSION This study demonstrated significant OS, pain-free survival, and distant PFS benefits for TTFields with gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel versus gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel in patients with unresectable LA-PAC, with no additive systemic toxicity.

4119 Background: TP53 mutations are frequent genetic alterations in cancers and also prevalent in biliary tract cancer (BTC). In non-small cell lung cancer, TP53 mutations have been reported to enhance immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) efficacy and improve outcomes. However, their impact on BTC remains unclear. This study investigated the clinico-molecular characteristics, prognosis, and ICI efficacy in TP53 -mutated BTC. Methods: Patient data were collected from the SCRUM-Japan GOZILA and MONSTAR-SCREEN-1/2 databases (Japan) and the Duke university and Mayo clinic databases (U.S.), which included patients receiving first-line ICI therapy. Comparisons between TP53 wild-type (WT) and mutation groups were performed in the Japanese cohort. Subsequently, analyses were expanded to include U.S. patients, focusing on comparisons between non-ICI and ICI groups. Tumor Immune Dysfunction and Exclusion (TIDE) scores were calculated using MONSTAR-SCREEN-2 whole transcriptome sequencing (WTS) data to evaluate ICI responsiveness, and gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) explored pathways associated with TP53 mutations. Results: In the Japanese cohort (n=594), TP53 mutations were identified in 311 patients (52.4%). KRAS , ERBB2 , CDKN2A , and SMAD4 alterations were more frequent in the TP53 mutation group, while IDH1, BAP1 , and FGFR2 fusions were more common in the WT group. Multivariable analysis showed TP53 mutations were independent prognostic factors for poor outcomes (progression-free survival [PFS]: HR 1.37, 95% CI: 1.11–1.69, P=0.003; overall survival [OS]: HR 1.36, 95% CI: 1.06–1.75, P=0.017). Incorporating the U.S. cohort (n=625; non-ICI: 548; ICI: 77), no significant differences in overall response rate (ORR) or disease control rate (DCR) were observed in the non-ICI group between the groups. However, in the ICI group, TP53 mutations tended to show higher ORR (21.1% vs. 38.5%, P=0.16) and DCR (47.4% vs. 66.7%, P=0.14). In the non-ICI group, TP53 mutations were associated with worse PFS (HR 1.46, median PFS: 7.4 vs. 5.3 months, P<0.001), whereas, in the ICI group, no significant difference was observed; however, a trend toward better PFS was seen in the TP53 mutation group (median PFS: 5.0 vs. 6.4 months, P=0.163). TIDE scores were significantly lower in the TP53 mutation group, indicating higher ICI responsiveness. GSEA revealed enrichment of oxidative phosphorylation and hypoxia pathways. Conclusions: TP53 mutations are independent prognostic factors for poor outcomes in BTC. However, patients with TP53 mutations may derive greater benefits from ICIs, underscoring the importance of tailored therapeutic strategies in TP53- mutated BTC.

PURPOSE This study aimed to investigate the clinicomolecular profiles and the efficacy of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-targeted therapy in HER2 -amplified biliary tract cancer (BTC). METHODS This study was an international collaboration that used combined data from the prospective SCRUM-Japan GOZILA and MONSTAR-SCREEN in Japan and retrospective reviews in the United States; patients with advanced BTC who had received systemic therapy were included. The clinicomolecular profiles were evaluated in an exploratory cohort, whereas the efficacy of HER2-targeted therapy was assessed in a biomarker-selected cohort. RESULTS Of the 439 patients in the exploratory cohort, 43 (10%) had HER2 amplification. The frequencies of coalterations were higher in patients with HER2 amplification versus patients without HER2 amplification including HER2 mutations (26% v 5%, P < .001), TP53 mutations (84% v 61%, P = .003), and BRAF amplification (9% v 2%, P = .030). There were no KRAS mutations identified in patients with HER2- amplified BTC. No significant difference in overall survival (OS) was observed between patients with and without HER2 amplification (median, 17.7 v 16.9 months; hazard ratio [HR], 0.95 [95% CI, 0.65 to 1.40]). Of the 60 patients with HER2 -amplified BTC in the biomarker-selected cohort (43 from Japan and 17 from the United States), the OS was significantly longer in 29 patients who received HER2-targeted therapy than in those who did not receive HER2-targeted therapy (median, 24.3 v 12.1 months; HR, 0.39 [95% CI, 0.23 to 0.82]). Multivariate analysis identified HER2-targeted therapy as an independent prognostic factor for OS (HR, 0.29 [95% CI, 0.14 to 0.58]; P < .001). CONCLUSION HER2 amplification was found in 10% of advanced BTC and was not identified as an independent prognostic factor for OS. Patients with HER2 -amplified BTC derive significant benefit from HER2-targeted therapy.

538 Background: In biliary tract cancer (BTC), TP53 is the most commonly altered gene and may co-occur with KRAS alteration. The presence of a co-alterations in of TP53 and KRAS is associated with poor prognosis in many cancers. In patients (pts) with advanced BTC, the prognostic implications of such co-alterations have not been fully investigated. Methods: This is a pooled analysis of SCRUM-Japan GOZILA and MONSTAR-SCREEN-1 and -2 studies. Genomic profiling was conducted with Guardant360 for plasma in GOZILA, FoundationOne CDx for tissue and FoundationOne Liquid CDx for plasma in MONSTAR-SCREEN-1, and CARIS MI Profile for tissue in MONSTAR-SCREEN-2. Pts with advanced BTC receiving systemic therapy were included in this study. Results: Among 636 pts with advanced BTC, 85 had TP53/KRAS co-alteration, 293 had TP53, 44 had KRAS, and 214 had neither KRAS nor TP53 alteration (WT/WT). Tumors with TP53 alteration had significantly higher level of tumor mutation burden (TMB) compared to the other groups (3.8 mut/Mb for TP53/KRAS, 5.0 mut/Mb for TP53, 2.8 mut/Mb for KRAS, and 2.5 mut/Mb for WT/WT, respectively, P<0.001). In addition, the frequency of microsatellite instability-high (MSI-High) in the TP53/KRAS group (11.0%) was significantly higher compared to the TP53 group (3.1%, P<0.05), and the WT/WT group (0.6%, P<0.001), respectively. The objective response rate of first-line therapy in the TP53/KRAS group (8.2%) was significantly lower than in the other groups (20.8% for TP53, 23.3% for KRAS, and 19.7% for WT/WT groups, P=0.035). There was no pts treated with durvalumab plus gemcitabine and cisplatin. Two pts with TP53/KRAS alteration and MSI-High received pembrolizumab monotherapy, and partial response was achieved with a progression-free survival of 9.4 and 22.0 months. The median overall survival (OS) for pts treated with first-line therapy of the TP53/KRAS, KRAS, TP53, and WT/WT groups were 13.6 (95% confidence interval [CI], 11.5-15.5), 14.3 (95%CI, 9.7-25.9), 18.8 (95%CI, 16.9-20.6), and 22.7 months (95%CI, 20.4-25.9), respectively. Multivariate analysis identified TP53/KRAS alteration (hazard ratio [HR] 2.14, 95%CI 1.43-3.22, P<0.001), number of detected variants (≥2) (HR 1.50, 95%CI 1.04-2.16, P=0.029), locally advanced (HR 1.72, 95%CI 1.05-2.83, P=0.033), and metastatic status (HR 1.78, 95%CI 1.39-2.28, P<0.001) as independent prognostic factors for shorter OS. Conclusions: Patients with advanced BTC with co-occurring TP53/KRAS alterations have worse prognosis. Interestingly, the presence of these co-alterations was associated with a higher likelihood of MSI-High phenotype.

544 Background: Biliary tract cancer (BTC) is an aggressive malignancy with poor prognosis and limited treatment options. The prevalence of HER2 amplification in BTC has been reported to be 5-20%, and clinical trials suggested the clinical benefit of HER2-targeted treatment in this disease subpopulation. In a global collaboration, we investigated the comprehensive clinico-molecular characterization as well as the efficacy of anti-HER2 therapy in HER2-amplified BTC. Methods: Patients with advanced BTC who received systemic therapy were included from the GOZILA and MONSTAR studies in Japan and from the COLOMATE trial in the US. Genomic alterations were detected by tissue next-generation sequencing (NGS), including FoundationOne CDx and TempuslxT, and plasma circulating tumor DNA NGS including Guardant360 and FoundationOne Liquid CDx. The clinico-molecular characteristics were evaluated in an exploratory cohort comprised of patients from Japan, whereas the efficacy of anti-HER2 therapy was assessed in a biomarker selected cohort with patients from both Japan and the US. Results: Of 439 patients included in the exploratory cohort, 43 (10%) had HER2 amplification. BTC with primary tumor location in the gallbladder accounted for 58% of primary sites of patients with HER2 amplification. TP53 mutation (84% vs 61%, p=0.003) and BRAF amplification (9% vs 2%, p=0.030) were significantly more frequent in patients with HER2 amplification compared to those without, and no KRAS mutation co-occurred with HER2 amplification. There was no significant difference in overall survival (OS) between patients with and without HER2 amplification (17.7 months [M] vs 16.9 M, hazard ratio [HR] 0.95, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.65-1.40, p=0.799). Of 58 patients with HER2-amplified BTC included in the biomarker selected cohort (43 Japan, 15 US), 27 (47%) received anti-HER2 therapy. The median OS of patients treated with anti-HER2 therapy was significantly longer than that of patients who did not receive anti-HER2 therapy (24.3 M vs. 12.1 M, HR 0.43, 95% CI 0.23-0.82, p=0.011). Multivariate analysis also identified anti-HER2 therapy as an independent prognostic factor for OS (HR 0.42, 95% CI 0.20-0.85, p=0.015). Conclusions: HER2 amplifications were found in 10% of advanced BTC and did not represent an independent predictive factor for OS. Of clinical significance, patients with HER2-amplified BTC derive a significant benefit from anti-HER2 therapy.
