981O - Hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) with oxaliplatin, fluorouracil, and leucovorin (FOLFOX) versus transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC): A randomised phase III trial

The abstract concludes: HAIC with FOLFOX significantly improved OS compared with TACE in patients with unresectable HCC.

Promising Results From a New Treatment Regimen in Primary Unresectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma

 

LBA65 - The Canadian Cancer Trials Group PA.7 trial: Results of a randomized phase II study of gemcitabine (GEM) and nab-paclitaxel (Nab-P) vs GEM, nab-P, durvalumab (D) and tremelimumab (T) as first line therapy in metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (mPDAC)

The abstract concludes: The addition of dual immune checkpoint inhibitors to Gem and Nab-P did not result in a significant improvement in OS, PFS, or ORR. There is a trend to improved DCR. Correlative analyses to assess biomarkers that may predict immune sensitivity in this setting are underway.

1525O - The QOLIXANE trial - Real life QoL and efficacy data in 1st line pancreatic cancer from the prospective platform for outcome, quality of life, and translational research on pancreatic cancer (PARAGON) registry

The abstract concludes: QoliXane is the largest study on QoL in mPC and shows that time to deterioration of QoL is short, reflecting the aggressive nature of mPC. Nevertheless, a relevant group of mPC in 1st line have improved or maintained QoL after 3 and 6 months, indicating that QoL is a predictor of pts outcome.

Long-term follow-up of bintrafusp alfa, a bifunctional fusion protein targeting TGF-_ and PD-L1, in patients with pretreated biliary tract cancer

The abstract concludes: 

After 28 months of follow-up, bintrafusp alfa continues to demonstrate manageable safety with durable, long-lasting responses and long-term survival in this expansion cohort of Asian patients with pretreated BTC

• As of the October 24, 2019 data cutoff, 8 patients out of 30 were still alive, with 3 remaining on treatment

• No additional safety signals or deaths were observed since the initial analysis; 1 new grade ≥3 TRAE (grade 3 keratoacanthoma) was observed

• Bintrafusp alfa showed a 20% response rate with a long duration of response; 42.8% of the patients have an ongoing response after 18 months (18+, 23.5+, and 24+ months)

• The median OS was 12.7 months; 24-month OS and PFS rates were 27.7% and 11.1%, respectively

• The efficacy of bintrafusp alfa in patients with pretreated BTC compares favorably with that of mFOLFOX from the ABC-06 study (ORR, 5%; median OS, 6.2 months)2

• Bintrafusp alfa is under further investigation as a 1L (NCT04066491) and 2L (NCT03833661) treatment option for patients with locally advanced/ metastatic BTC
