Abstrakt: Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of nanvuranlat [an L-type amino acid transporter 1 inhibitor] monotherapy as a later-line treatment in advanced, metastatic, and refractory biliary tract cancers.
Patients and Methods: A multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase II study was conducted across fourteen leading Japanese cancer centers and hospitals. Nanvuranlat 25 mg/m2/day or placebo was given intravenously in cycles of 5 consecutive days, followed by 9 days off. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). Secondary endpoints included overall survival and disease control rate. Subgroup analysis was performed in patients with high L-type amino acid transporter 1 expression and biliary tract cancer subtypes.
Results: A total of 211 patients were screened, of which 105 eligible patients were randomized. Among these, 70 received nanvuranlat and 35 received placebo. Nanvuranlat demonstrated an improvement in PFS when compared with placebo (HR, 0.56; 95% confidence interval, 0.34-0.90; P = 0.02). Grade 3 or higher adverse events were reported in 30.0% and 22.9% of those in the nanvuranlat and placebo groups, respectively. The overall survival was not statistically different between nanvuranlat- and placebo-treated patients. An exploratory analysis indicated that nanvuranlat is warranted to evaluate its long-term clinical benefit in patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, and gallbladder cancer.
Conclusions: Compared with placebo, nanvuranlat improved PFS in patients with advanced and refractory biliary tract cancer with an acceptable safety profile. Further studies of this promising compound are warranted in the population of patients who are exhausted from treatment options.
