TrialFetch AI Analysis

Goal: Select a nanvuranlat dosing regimen and determine whether it improves survival compared with physician’s best choice in previously treated advanced biliary tract cancer.

Patients: Adults with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic intrahepatic or extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma or gallbladder cancer, ECOG performance status 0–1, measurable disease, and progression after one appropriate platinum-based regimen for advanced disease. Prior indicated molecularly targeted treatment or immunotherapy is permitted.

Design: Multicenter, randomized, open-label, two-part study. Part A assigns patients equally among three nanvuranlat regimens and physician’s best choice to select a regimen. Part B randomizes patients 1:1 to the selected nanvuranlat regimen or physician’s best choice; randomization is stratified by biliary tract cancer subtype.

Treatments: Nanvuranlat is given intravenously in 14-day cycles: 50 or 75 mg over 90 minutes daily for five days followed by nine days off, or 375 mg over 46 hours once per cycle. It inhibits the LAT1 amino-acid transporter, aiming to restrict the essential amino acids available to tumor cells. In a prior randomized phase II study, nanvuranlat improved progression-free survival versus placebo (hazard ratio 0.56), but overall survival was not significantly different. Physician’s best choice is FOLFOX, FOLFIRI, or best supportive care, selected as clinically appropriate. Treatment continues until progression, unacceptable toxicity, or a decision to stop.

Outcomes: The primary endpoint is preliminary overall survival in Part A and overall survival in Part B. Part B also assesses investigator-assessed progression-free survival and objective response by RECIST 1.1, adverse events, dose intensity and modifications, and clinically significant ECG abnormalities.

Burden on patient: Moderate to high, depending on assignment. Treatment generally requires visits every two weeks; the five-day nanvuranlat schedules require five consecutive infusion days per cycle, while the alternative requires a 46-hour infusion. Patients also undergo periodic imaging, physical examinations, ECGs, laboratory testing, and blood and urine sampling, with tissue testing or a fresh biopsy when appropriate. Best supportive care may entail fewer treatment visits.
