Background: Metastatic biliary tract cancer (mBTC) is a lethal malignancy with median 5 year OS of less than 10%. Immunotherapy, particularly single agent anti-PD-1/PD-L1, has limited efficacy in mBTC with ORR~9-15%. Recently presented data shows responses in metastatic MSS pancreatic or colon cancer with combination anti-PD-1/CTLA-4 and radiation (XRT) to produce systemic response (abscopal effect) (Parikh A, GI ASCO 2019, ASCO 2019.). We evaluate safety and efficacy of dual PD-1/CTLA-4 inhibition with XRT in MSS mBTC. Methods: 15 of a planned 15 mBTC patients were enrolled. Eligible pts had histologically-confirmed mBTC, ECOG-PS 0/1, and must have progressed on at least one line of previous therapy or refused standard therapy. Safety cohort of 6 pts of durva 1500 mg/treme 75 mg q4w was enrolled. If > 2 DLTs, patients were enrolled subsequently to dose level -1 (durva 1125 mg/ treme 75 mg q4w). 3 fractions of 8 Gy of radiation at C2D1 every other day to a single metastatic site. Durva/treme continued for 4 cycles, followed by 4 cycles of maintenance durva until progressive disease, discontinuation or withdrawal. Endpoints include disease control rate (DCR (SD+PR+CR)), PFS and OS and safety. Radiological evaluations were done q2 mo. Results: 15 mBTC pts enrolled and evaluable from May 2018 to March 2019. Median age 63 years (range 48-75), 47% male. DLTs occurred in 3 patients during the safety run-in. One patient experienced DLT at dose level -1 and subsequent expansion. 3 patients did NOT reach radiation therapy. DCR was 27% with a 13% PR and 7% CR. Of those who reached radiation, DCR was 33% with a 17% PR and 8% CR. At time of analysis, median PFS was 54 days for ITT mBTC. Duration of response for 4 patients with DCR was 26, 52, 122, 254+ days. Treatment-related adverse events were reported in 12/15 patients (80%). Grade ≥3 toxicities were seen in 9/15 pts (60%) with lymphopenia (5 grade 3) and elevated LFTs (2 grade 4 and 4 grade 2) being the main adverse events. All patients with disease control were not MSI. Conclusions: Combination of durva/treme XRT is feasible and shows preliminary activity in metastatic BTC. An expansion cohort is being planned to confirm activity.
