Abstract 103P
Background
For patients (pts) with advanced BTC with progression on gemcitabine plus cisplatin (GemCis), fluoropyrimidine-based chemotherapy, including liposomal irinotecan (nal-IRI) plus fluorouracil and leucovorin (5-FU/LV) and 5-FU/LV plus oxaliplatin (FOLFOX) showed clinical benefit in prior randomized trials (NIFTY and ABC-06). However, there is no trial for head-to-head comparison among these agents.
Methods
We performed IPD meta-analysis of two multicenter, randomized trials performed in South Korea, which compared efficacy of second-line chemotherapy for advanced BTC after progression on GemCis, including the phase 2b NIFTY trial (nal-IRI plus 5-FU/LV vs. 5-FU/LV, NCT03524508) and the phase 2 FIReFOX trial (modified FOLFOX [mFOLFOX] vs. modified 5-FU/LV plus irinotecan [mFOLFIRI], NCT03464968). ITT population of the two trials were included and survival outcomes were compared between the 4 treatment groups by pairwise log-rank test. Hazards ratio (HR) adjusted by potential prognostic variables was estimated by Cox proportional hazards modeling with shared frailty to account for the trials effect.
Results
A total of 278 pts were included in this analysis (178 pts from the NIFTY trial and 99 pts from the FIReFOX trial). The nal-IRI plus 5-FU/LV group (n=88) showed significantly better overall survival compared to the mFOLFOX group (n=49, p = 0.02), mFOLFIRI group (n=50, p = 0.03), and 5-FU/LV group (n=90, p = 0.008). Multivariable analysis showed consistent trends with adjusted HR of 1.44 (95% CI 0.93-2.07, p = 0.11), 1.36 (95% CI 0.92-2.03, p = 0.13), and 1.52 (95% CI 1.37-1.09-2.10, p = 0.01), respectively. Also, nal-IRI plus 5-FU/LV group showed trends toward better progression-free survival compared to the other 3 groups with adjusted HR of 1.44 (95% CI 0.98-2.11, p = 0.06), 1.29 (95% CI 0.87-1.89, p = 0.20), and 1.88 (1.38-2.55, p < 0.001), respectively.
Conclusions
Nal-IRI plus 5-FU/LV showed better survival outcomes when compared to mFOLFOX, mFOLFIRI, or 5-FU/LV alone. Nal-IRI plus 5-FU/LV may be a preferable second-line regimen for advanced BTC pts without targetable genetic alterations.
