Abstract 1514P
Background
At interim analysis (IA) of RATIONALE-306 (NCT03783442), 1L TIS + chemo demonstrated a statistically significant, clinically meaningful improvement in overall survival (OS) vs PBO + chemo, with a manageable safety profile, in patients (pts) with advanced/metastatic ESCC. Here, we report updated efficacy and safety data with minimum (min) 2 years’ follow-up.
Methods
Adults with unresectable locally advanced recurrent/metastatic ESCC and no prior systemic treatment for advanced disease were enrolled and randomized (1:1; stratified by region, prior definitive therapy, and investigator [INV]-chosen chemo) to receive TIS 200 mg (Arm A) or PBO (Arm B) IV Q3W + chemo (platinum + fluoropyrimidine or platinum + paclitaxel), until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, or withdrawal. The primary endpoint was OS in the intent-to-treat population. Secondary endpoints included progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR), duration of response (DoR) per INV, and safety.
Results
649 pts were randomized (Arm A n=326, Arm B n=323). At data cutoff (Dec 31, 2022), min study follow-up was 25.2 months; improvements in OS, PFS, ORR, and DoR in Arm A vs B (Table) were maintained relative to the IA. Similar to the IA, incidences of any-grade (96.6% vs 96.3%) or ≥grade 3 (66.7% vs 64.5%) treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) were comparable between Arms A and B, respectively; treatment-emergent adverse events leading to treatment discontinuation were higher in Arm A (31.8%) vs B (22.1%). In Arm A vs B, respectively, serious TRAEs occurred in 29.3% vs 19.6% of pts; TRAEs leading to death occurred in 1.9% and 1.2%.

Conclusions
After min 2 years’ follow-up, 1L TIS + chemo continued to demonstrate clinically meaningful improvements in OS and PFS and durable tumour response benefit vs PBO + chemo in pts with advanced/metastatic ESCC, with no new safety signals.
