Background: Advanced BTC patients have poor prognosis. Up to 40% of BTCs have KRAS mutations and are associated with worse overall survival (OS). With a median OS of 7.7 months in KRAS wild-type compared to 1.7 months in KRAS mutated disease, these alterations are independent poor prognostic factors in BTC. Gemcitabine and cisplatin (GC) with or without immunotherapy are often used as 1st-line therapies. However, there is a lack of data on best 2nd-line regimens. mFOLFOX6 (5-fluorouracil [5-FU], leucovorin [LV], oxaliplatin) or liposomal irinotecan+5-FU+LV are options when no biomarkers are found (e.g., MSI-H, BRAFV600E, FGFR-fusions, IDH1-mutation, HER2-overexpression).Prior studies do not demonstrate benefit with MEK inhibitors (MEKi), but none of the studies had biomarker selection. Pre-clinical studies in BTC cell lines suggest synergy between MEKi and 5-FU. Thymidylate synthase (TS)levels induced by 5-FU are downregulated by addition of binimetinib. Early clinical studies show safety and tolerance of this combination. In this study, we will evaluate if the combination of mFOLFOX6+binimetinib improves OS for patients with BTC and MAPK mutations compared to mFOLFOX6 alone in 2nd-line therapy. Methods: EAY191-A6 is a treatment study arm of the NCI ComboMATCH master registration trial EAY191. The A6 trial has a randomized phase II design, enrolling a maximum of 66 patients. Patients with any MAPK pathway mutations except those with available therapies will be eligible. Patient must first enroll to the EAY191 master trial. Local molecular results may be used for enrollment. Submission of tissue at baseline is mandatory. Eligible patients will be randomized 1:1 to mFOLFOX6 vs mFOLFOX6 + binimetinib (45 mg oral twice a day every 14 days). Stratification factors include location and stage of disease. Primary efficacy analysis will compare OS in the intent-to-treat population. If the observed hazard ratio (HR) of experimental arm vs standard of care is < 0.545 (corresponding to an observed increase in OS by 5 months or longer), experimental treatment will be considered superior. An interim futility analysis at 50% of expected events will be conducted. If the observed HR is ≥ 1, experimental treatment will not be considered superior, and accrual maybe suspended. Secondary endpoints include progression-free survival, objective response rate, duration of response, disease control rate and toxicity of treatments. Exploratory objectives include prognostic modeling, correlations of genomic alterations with response or resistance and use of machine learning for outcome prediction. This study is active and open to accrual. Clinical trial information: NCT05564403.
