PG - 1026-1037 AB - Local-regional therapy combined with PD-1 inhibitors and lenvatinib (triple combination therapy) has demonstrated potent antitumor activity in solid tumors. However, the efficacy and safety of the triple combination therapy in patients with advanced biliary tract cancer (BTC) remain unclear. This retrospective study evaluated the efficacy and safety of the triple combination therapy in advanced BTC. Tumor tissues were collected to assess the expression status of PDL1 to identify efficacy biomarkers. Forty-nine patients were included: 24 in lenvatinib plus toripalimab therapy; 25 in the triple combination therapy. The triple combination therapy group showed longer median progression-free survival (mPFS) (7.9 versus 5.6 months, P=0.015) and longer median overall survival (mOS) (13.7 versus 11.1 months, P=0.145) than the lenvatinib plus toripalimab group. The overall response rate (ORR) was 32% [95% confidence interval (CI): 12.3-51.7] with the triple combination therapy versus 25% (95% CI: 6.3-43.7) with toripalimab plus lenvatinib. Three patients received surgery after the triple combination therapy. All patients experienced any-grade adverse events (AEs) without any specific toxicities. PDL1 expression was associated with improved clinical benefits. Local-regional therapy combined with PD-1 inhibitors and lenvatinib may be an encouraging treatment choice for advanced BTC without an increase in specific toxicities. CI - AJCR Copyright (c) 2023.
