1 Gemcitabine With or Without Cisplatin in Patients with Advanced or Metastatic Biliary Tract Cancer (ABC): Results of a Multicentre, Randomized Phase III Trial (The UK ABC-02 Trial) Valle JW et al. ASCO 2009; Abstract 4503. (Oral Presentation)

2 Source: Valle JW et al. ASCO 2009; Abstract 4503. Introduction Biliary tract cancers (BTC: cholangiocarcinoma, gall bladder cancer, ampullary cancer) are rare, lethal cancers with rising incidence –Cholangiocarcinoma, the most common BTC, accounts for 3% of all GI cancers globally (Vauthey Sem Liver Dis 1994) –5-year survival: 5-10% No standard of care exists for BTC –Few underpowered phase III chemotherapy studies –Small phase II studies, mostly 5-FU or gemcitabine-based ABC-01: Randomized Phase II study (N = 86) - Cisplatin (Cis)/Gemcitabine (Gem) appeared superior to Gem (GI Cancers Symposium 2006;Abstract 98) –6-mos PFS: 57.1% vs 47.7% –Median TTP: 8.0 mos vs 4.0 mos –ORR: 24% vs 15% –Tumor control rate: 76% vs 58% Current study objectives: –Prospectively evaluate the activity and safety of Cis/Gem vs Gem in patients with advanced or metastatic BTC in a large, multicenter phase III study

3 ABC-02: Phase III Multicenter Study (N = 410*) Eligibility Histologically/cytologically verified disease Adequate biliary drainage No uncontrolled infection LFTs: bilirubin < 1.5 x ULN, ALT/AST/alk phos < 3 x ULN (< 5 if liver metastases) No prior systemic treatment R Gemcitabine 1,000 mg/m 2 Cisplatin 25 mg/m 2 D1, 8 q21 days 24 weeks (8 cycles) Primary site: Gallbladder/bile duct/ampulla 36%/60%/4% Gemcitabine 1,000 mg/m 2 D1, 8, 15 q28 days 24 weeks (6 cycles) Primary site: Gallbladder/bile duct/ampulla 37%/58%/5% Source: Valle JW et al. ASCO 2009; Abstract 4503. Upon disease progression, management will be at clinician’s discretion (mostly best supportive care) *Includes 86 patients from ABC-01

9 Summary and Conclusions Cis/Gem significantly improves OS and PFS compared to Gem –Median OS: 11.7 mos vs 8.3 mos –Reduced risk of death by 30% (HR = 0.70, p = 0.002) –Median PFS: 8.4 mos vs 6.5 mos –Reduced risk of disease progression by 28% (HR = 0.72, p = 0.003) First demonstration of a survival benefit in advanced BTC Benefit gained without additional clinically significant toxicity –Lethargy is the most common Grade 3/4 AE in both arms: Cis/Gem (18.6%) and Gem (16.6%) –Slight excess of Grade 3/4 neutropenia with Cis/Gem vs Cis: 22.6% vs 17.9%, respectively –Therapy withdrawal due to toxicity: Cis/Gem n=8, Gem n=11 Cis/Gem is recommended as a worldwide standard of care and should serve as the backbone of future studies Source: Valle JW et al.
