Abstract
Clinical trials frequently include multiple end points that mature at different times. The initial report, typically based on the primary end point, may be published when key planned co-primary or secondary analyses are not yet available. Clinical Trial Updates provide an opportunity to disseminate additional results from studies, published in JCO or elsewhere, for which the primary end point has already been reported.We report 3-year efficacy and safety results from the phase III CheckMate 649 trial. Patients with previously untreated advanced or metastatic gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma were randomly assigned to nivolumab plus chemotherapy or chemotherapy. Primary end points were overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) by blinded independent central review (BICR) in patients whose tumors expressed PD-L1 combined positive score (CPS) ≥5. With 36.2-month minimum follow-up, for patients with PD-L1 CPS ≥5, the OS hazard ratio (HR) for nivolumab plus chemotherapy versus chemotherapy was 0.70 (95% CI, 0.61 to 0.81); 21% versus 10% of patients were alive at 36 months, respectively; the PFS HR was 0.70 (95% CI, 0.60 to 0.81); 36-month PFS rates were 13% versus 8%, respectively. The objective response rate (ORR) per BICR was 60% (95% CI, 55 to 65) with nivolumab plus chemotherapy versus 45% (95% CI, 40 to 50) with chemotherapy; median duration of response was 9.6 months (95% CI, 8.2 to 12.4) versus 7.0 months (95% CI, 5.6 to 7.9), respectively. Nivolumab plus chemotherapy also continued to show improvement in OS, PFS, and ORR versus chemotherapy in the overall population. Adding nivolumab to chemotherapy maintained clinically meaningful long-term survival benefit versus chemotherapy alone, with an acceptable safety profile, supporting the continued use of nivolumab plus chemotherapy as standard first-line treatment for advanced gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma.

Abstract
529 Background: The combination of gemcitabine-cisplatin (GC) is the current standard of care chemotherapy for metastatic/unresectable biliary tract cancer (BTC). However, the prognosis remains poor. This randomized trial aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of irinotecan plus cisplatin (IP) versus GC in advanced or metastatic BTC. Methods: Patients with biopsy-proven, chemo-naïve, unresectable or metastatic BTC, ECOG 0-2, measurable disease per RECIST 1.1, adequate organ function and written informed consent were stratified by ECOG (0 or 1 vs 2) and distant metastases and randomized to receive irinotecan 65 mg/m² IV D1 and D8 plus cisplatin 60 mg/m² D1 repeated every 3 weeks (IP) or gemcitabine 1000 mg/m² IV D1 and D8 plus cisplatin 25 mg/m² IV D1 and D8 repeated every 3 weeks, until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The primary endpoint was overall response rate (ORR). Results: Between January 2013 and April 2018, 47 pts were randomized (1:1) to receive IP (N = 24) or GC (N = 23). Overall, groups were well balanced according to prognostic factors. The ORR was 35% (complete response 5%, partial response 30%) and 31.8% in IP and GC arms, respectively. Median progression-free survival were 5.3 vs 7.8 months (HR = 1.165, 95%CI 0.628-2.161, p = 0.628) and median overall survival were 11.9 and 9.8 months (HR = 0.859, 95%CI 0.431 – 1.710, p = 0.665) for IP and GC, respectively. Adverse events were not statistically different between arms, and results were consistent with previous experiences with these regimens. No therapy-related death were reported. Conclusions: Irinotecan-cisplatin combination is active in BTC, with similar ORR, PFS and OS when compared to gemcitabine-cisplatin. Irinotecan-cisplatin were well tolerated, and adverse events were manageable. Irinotecan-cisplatin could be considered as an alternative to gemcitabine-cisplatin. Clinical trial information: NCT01859728.
