About this study

Official title: Randomized Open-labeled Phase 2 Study of Maintenance Olaparib With or Without Durvalumab for DDR Gene Mutated Advanced Biliary Tract Cancer Following Platinum-based Chemotherapy

First-line gemcitabine plus cisplatin chemotherapy is the standard first-line treatment for unresectable or metastatic advanced biliary tract cancer and the optimal duration of the treatment is not mentioned in current clinical guidelines. In the pivotal phase 3 ABC-02 trial, patients received up to 6 to 8 cycles of treatment and stopped without maintenance and our retrospective study shows no significant benefit of continuing gemcitabine plus cisplatin beyond 6 to 8 cycles. However, the survival outcomes of patients who completed 6 to 8 cycles of gemcitabine plus cisplatin without progression are dismal with progression-free survival from the last dose of the treatment of median 5.2 months in a prior retrospective study. Indeed, there is an unmet clinical need in terms of maintenance therapy for advanced biliary tract cancer without progression to first-line gemcitabine plus cisplatin chemotherapy.

Durvalumab with/without tremelimumab, anti-CTLA4 inhibitor, showed encouraging results in recently presented study for treatment of advanced biliary tract cancer combination with gemcitabine plus cisplatin. Combination of olaparib and durvalumab showed promising results for metastatic HER-2 negative BRCA mutated breast cancer. For DDR gene mutated advanced biliary tract cancer, olaparib plus durvalumab combination may show synergistic effect with better efficacy than olaparib monotherapy. Both olaparib and durvalumab are relatively well tolerated compared to other cytotoxic chemotherapeutic agents. Olaparib may have some degree of myelosuppression, most patients are expected to well tolerate. Although combination of durvalumab and olaparib may cause additional adverse events, these also might be tolerable, considering that there are no overlapping toxicities between durvalumab and olaparib and the safety data for the combination of durvalumab with olaparib. Considering poor prognosis in patients with advanced biliary tract cancer and lack of maintenance treatment following scheduled first-line GemCis, clinical benefits with maintenance olaparib or olaparib plus durvalumab weigh more than the potential risks.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Durvalumab and Olaparib in people with Biliary Tract Cancer and DNA Damage Repair Deficiency, run by Asan Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 15 inclusion and 24 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Jan 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Changhoon Yoo (+821099006798, yooc@amc.seoul.kr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

6-month progression-free survival rate (time frame: 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05222971, which also lists 8 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Jan 2025.
