Abstract 3203
Background
REACHIN trial met its primary endpoint of improving PFS in patients with biliary tract cancer (BTC) treated with regorafenib (R) as compared to placebo (P): Median (m) PFS for R was 3.0 months (mo) and 1.5 mo for P (HR = 0.49; 95% CI: 0.29-0.81, p = 0.005)1. We exploratory analyzed the benefit of R according to tumor location (TL): intra-hepatic (ICC), extra-hepatic (ECC), gallbladder (GB) or peri-hilar (PH). The early metabolic response (EMR) by treatment was evaluated by FDG PET/CT.
Methods
TL were recorded at randomization of 66 patients in REACHIN (NCT02162914). We analyzed mPFS (95%CI) according to TL. EMR was evaluated comparing FDG tumor metabolism at baseline and after 2 weeks of treatment in the 2 arms if there was at least one FDG positive lesion at baseline, with a Tumour/Liver-uptake-ratio ≥1.4 (MIMvista software).
Results
Table:
743P
R | R | R | P | P | P | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
N | mPFS (mo) | 95%CI | N | mPFS (mo) | 95%CI | |
ICC | 23 | 3.0 | 1.5–4.9 | 19 | 1.5 | 1.1–2.1 |
ECC | 3 | 1.4 | 0.5-5.3 | 6 | 1.5 | 0.6–4.7 |
GB | 4 | 4.7 | 0.0-8.8 | 5 | 1.6 | 0.4-2 |
PH | 3 | 2.6 | 1.1-4.5 | 3 | 0.5 | 0.0-3.0 |
mPFS data are summarized in the table For PET study (29 patients, P n = 15/R n = 14), both ΔSUVmax, ΔMTV and ΔTLG (%change from baseline) show a significant decrease between baseline and FU scan in R (P = 0.0151*;0.037**; 0.0056**) as compared to P. Main tumour SUVmax was significantly decreased in R but not in P(P = 0.0353* vs 0.5614). Both TLG and MTV significantly increased in the P (p = 0.0004***; 0.0002***; ) while a stabilization was observed for R (P = 0.3910; 0.2412). There was no relevant treatment’s related impact on the reference-liver-uptake (P = 0.381(P); 0.6149(R)).
Conclusions
ICC location was predominant (64%). mPFS in P arm is similar according to TL. Despite exploratory value and small number of patients per tumor location, R seems superior to P in ICC, GB and PH. Despite limited number of patients, FDG PET/CT seems performant to discriminate EMR in patients treated with R as compared to P. Additional analysis are ongoing to estimate if these EMR also correlate with PFS and OS.
