A Study of Atezolizumab With or Without Bevacizumab in Combination With Cisplatin Plus Gemcitabine in Patients With Untreated, Advanced Biliary Tract Cancer

This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of atezolizumab with bevacizumab in combination with cisplatin and gemcitabine(CisGem), compared with atezolizumab in combination with CisGem, in participants with advanced biliary tract cancer (BTC) who have not received prior systemic therapy. Treatment will consist of a chemotherapy combination phase followed by a cancer immunotherapy (CIT)/placebo phase.

Treatment and study plan

Atezolizumab

Drug

Atezolizumab will be administered intravenously at a fixed dose of 1200 mg on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle.

Other names: Tecentriq

Bevacizumab

Drug

Bevacizumab will be administered at a dose of 15 mg/kg intravenously on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle after atezolizumab.

Other names: Avastin

Placebo

Other

Placebo matching bevacizumab will be administered intravenously on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle after atezolizumab.

Cisplatin

Drug

Cisplatin will be administered intravenously at a dose of 25 mg/m^2 on Days 1 and 8 of each 21-day cycle for Cycles 1-8.

Gemcitabine

Drug

Gemcitabine will be administered intravenously at a dose of 1000 mg/m^2 on Days 1 and 8 of each 21-day cycle for Cycles 1-8.

Primary outcomes

  1. Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    Time frame: Randomization to the first occurrence of disease progression as determined by the investigator according to RECIST v1.1 or death from any cause (whichever occurs first)(up to approximately 14 months)

    PFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first occurrence of disease progression as determined by the investigator according to RECIST v1.1 or death from any cause (whichever occurs first)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Overall Survival (OS)

    Time frame: Randomization to death from any cause (up to approximately 23 months)

    OS is defined as the time from randomization to death from any cause.

  2. Confirmed Objective Response Rate (ORR)

    Time frame: Randomization up to approximately 14 months

    Confirmed ORR is defined as the proportion of participants with Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) on two consecutive occasions >=4 weeks apart, as determined by the investigator according to RECIST v1.1.

  3. Duration of Response (DOR)

    Time frame: First occurrence of a confirmed objective response to disease progression as determined by the investigator according to RECIST v1.1 or death from any cause (whichever occurs first)(up to approximately 14 months)

    DOR is defined as the time from the first occurrence of a confirmed objective response to disease progression as determined by the investigator according to RECIST v1.1 or death from any cause (whichever occurs first).

  4. Disease Control Rate (DCR)

    Time frame: Randomization up to approximately 14 months

    DCR is defined as the proportion of participants with a CR or a PR on two consecutive occasions >= 4 weeks apart or SD with a minimum duration of 9weeks, as determined by the investigator according to RECIST v1.1

  5. Time to Confirmed Deterioration (TTCD)

    Time frame: Randomization to the first clinically meaningful deterioration (up to approximately 14 months)

    TTCD in patient-reported physical functioning, role functioning, and quality of life, as measured by the respective scales of the EORTC QLQ-C30 and/or EORTC IL77, and defined as the time from randomization to the first clinically meaningful deterioration that is either maintained for two consecutive assessments or followed by death from any cause within 3 weeks.

  6. Percentage of Participants With at Least One Adverse Event

    Time frame: Treatment start up to approximately 30 months.

    Percentage of participants with at least one adverse event.

  7. Serum Concentration of Atezolizumab

    Time frame: Pre-Dose on Day 1 of Cycles 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 12, and 16, and Post Dose Day 1 of Cycle 1 (cycle length=21 days)

    Serum concentration of atezolizumab at specified timepoints.

  8. Prevalence of ADAs to Atezolizumab

    Time frame: Baseline

  9. Incidence of ADAs to Atezolizumab

    Time frame: At pre-defined intervals from administration of study drug up to approximately 14 months
