Abstract 2421
Background
Co-inhibiting angiogenesis and PD-1/PD-L1 is a promising regimen for several solid tumours; however, its role in bile tract carcinoma (BTC) remains unclear. We sought to investigate the antitumour efficacy and toxicity of lenvatinib (an oral anti-angiogenesis drug) plus PD-1 blockade in patients with advanced BTC.
Methods
A retrospective cohort study involved patients with advanced BTC who have treated with lenvatinib plus PD-1 blockade. The PD-1 inhibitors only included pembrolizumab and nivolumab. The primary outcomes of this study were the objective response rate (ORR) and progression-free survival (PFS). Biomarkers, including PD-L1 expression, tumour mutational burden (TMB) and genetic alterations, were analysed.
Results
In total, 56 patients (29 with lenvatinib plus nivolumab, 27 with lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab) were enrolled. The ORR was 30.4%, the disease control rate was 85.7%, and the clinical benefit rate was 50%. The median PFS was 5.0 months (95% CI: 4.0-6.0), and the median overall survival was 11.0 months (95% CI: 6.6-15.4). For tolerability, 96.4% of the patients had adverse events (AEs), but only 19.6% of the patients experienced grade-3 AEs without grade-4/5 AEs occurring. Fatigue, hypertension and hypothyroidism were the most common AEs. Moreover, PD-L1 positive expression had higher ORR and longer PFS, while TMB was not correlated with the response and survival outcomes. Further analysis of efficacy-related factors demonstrated that patients with resected BTC could obtain longer OS.
Conclusions
Lenvatinib plus PD-1 inhibitor presents an effective and safe strategy in patients with advanced BTC, especially those with PD-L1 positive expression and prior surgical resection.
