Background: VEGF blockade coupled with cytotoxic chemotherapy can promote an immune-permissive tumor microenvironment that can augment response to PD-L1 inhibition. IMbrave151 (NCT04677504) is a randomized, double-blind, global Phase II study evaluating the efficacy of atezolizumab (atezo), bevacizumab (bev) and cisplatin and gemcitabine (CisGem) as first-line treatment for patients with advanced biliary tract cancer (aBTC). Methods: Patients with previously untreated aBTC were randomized 1:1 to receive atezo (1200 mg every 3 weeks [q3w]) + bev (15 mg/kg q3w) or placebo + CisGem (cisplatin 25 mg/m2 and gemcitabine 1000 mg/m2 on Days 1 and 8 q3w) for up to 8 cycles, followed by atezo (1200 mg q3w) + bev (15 mg/kg q3w) or placebo until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients were stratified by disease status, geographic region and primary tumor location. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). Secondary endpoints included overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR), duration of response (DOR), disease control rate and safety. No formal hypothesis testing was performed. Results: In total, 162 patients were randomized to receive either atezo + bev + CisGem (n=79) or atezo + placebo + CisGem (n=83). Median age 63 years, Asia/Rest of World (43/57%), ECOG PS 0/1 (53/48%), intrahepatic/extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and gallbladder (54/19/27%), and metastatic/locally advanced stage (82/18%). The HR for PFS was 0.76 (95% CI: 0.51, 1.14). Median PFS was 8.4 months for atezo + bev + CisGem and 7.9 months for atezo + placebo + CisGem; the 6-month PFS rates were 78% and 63%, respectively. The confirmed ORR was 24% for atezo + bev + CisGem and 25% for atezo + placebo + CisGem. DOR ≥6 months was 89% for atezo + bev + CisGem vs 47% for atezo + placebo + CisGem. The incidence of Grade 3 or 4 adverse events was 73% and 74% with atezo + bev + CisGem and atezo + placebo + CisGem, respectively. Median OS is not reached. Conclusions: Both combinations of IMbrave151 showed a manageable safety profile. The aggregate of data suggests that combining atezo with bev and chemotherapy may provide clinical benefit in a subset of patients with aBTC. Follow-up is ongoing for OS. Clinical trial information: NCT04677504.
