Personalized Medicine for Advanced Biliary Cancer Patients (SAFIR-ABC10)

May 18, 2026 updated by: UNICANCER

Molecular Targeted Maintenance Therapy Versus Standard of Care in Advanced Biliary Cancer: an International, Randomised, Controlled, Open-label, Platform Phase 3 Trial

The object of this trial is to evaluate whether the introduction of a targeted therapy after 4 cycles of the current standard-of-care treatment for advanced biliary cancer is superior to continuing with the standard treatment.

The trial is composed of two phases: (i) An initial screening phase to identify a suitable patient population, during which a molecular profile of the patient's tumour will be obtained, and (ii) a randomised comparative trial in which patients with disease control after 4 cycles of standard treatment, and whose tumour harbours a targetable molecular alteration, will be randomised (2:1) to receive either a matched targeted therapy or to continue with the standard treatment.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This is a Phase 3, multicentre, randomised, open-label trial to evaluate whether the introduction of molecular targeted therapy (MTT) as maintenance after 4 cycles of standard-of-care first-line systemic therapy (1L SoC) is superior to continuation of 1L-SoC in the treatment of patients with ABC. The trial is composed of two phases: (i) An initial screening phase to identify a suitable patient population, and (ii) a randomised comparative trial.

The aim of the screening phase is to identify a medically suitable population, to obtain a molecular profile of the patient's tumour, to collect baseline data concerning patient demographics and disease characteristics and to obtain pre-treatment blood and tumour samples for further translational research.

A genetic profile will be obtained from tumour-derived DNA and RNA samples by next-generation sequencing and from circulating tumour DNA. The trial Molecular Tumour Board will determine whether each patient harbours a targetable molecular alteration for one or more of the trial MTTs.

Patients with disease control after 4 cycles of 1L-SoC, who did not experience limiting toxicity, and whose tumour harbours at least one targetable molecular alteration, will be invited to participate in the randomised phase of the trial in which 159 eligible patients will be randomised (2:1) to receive either maintenance therapy with a matched MTT or to continue 1L-SoC treatment.

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

SCREENING PHASE

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Signed a written informed consent form prior to any trial specific procedures (Consent #1)
  2. Histologically-proven intrahepatic, perihilar or distal cholangiocarcinoma, or gallbladder carcinoma (ampullary carcinoma excluded)
  3. De novo or recurrent, locally advanced (non-resectable) or metastatic disease

  5. Aged ≥18 years
  6. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1
  7. Estimated life expectancy >3 months
  8. Candidate for 1L-SoC therapy, or has initiated first cycle of 1L-SoC therapy
  9. Affiliated to a social security system or in possession of equivalent private health insurance (according to local country health provision arrangements).

Exclusion Criteria:

Measure Description
Time Frame

Time Frame: Up to 3 months from start of treatment

Quality of life questionnaire - Core 30 (QLQ-C30)
Time Frame: From baseline, every 3 cycles (every 9 weeks) until end of treatment, an average of 1 year

Developed by the EORTC, this self-reported questionnaire assesses the health-related quality of life of cancer patients in clinical trials.

The questionnaire includes five functional scales (physical, everyday activity, cognitive, emotional, and social), three symptom scales (fatigue, pain, nausea and vomiting), a health/quality of life overall scale, and a number of additional elements assessing common symptoms (including dyspnea, loss of appetite, insomnia, constipation, and diarrhea), as well as, the perceived financial impact of the disease.

All of the scales and single-item measures range in score from 0 to 100. A high scale score represents a higher response level.

From baseline, every 3 cycles (every 9 weeks) until end of treatment, an average of 1 year
Quality of life Questionnaire - Biliary tract cancer module (QLQ-BIL21)
Time Frame: From baseline, every 3 cycles (every 9 weeks) until end of treatment, an average of 1 year

This EORTC cholangiocarcinoma and gallbladder cancer specific questionnaire is intended to supplement the QLQ-C30.

The QLQ-BIL21 contains 21 items to assess symptoms. All items are rated on a four-point Likert-type scale (1 = "not at all", 2 = "a little", 3 = "quite a bit", and 4 = "very much"), and are linearly transformed to a 0-100 scale.

From baseline, every 3 cycles (every 9 weeks) until end of treatment, an average of 1 year
EuroQOL EQ-5D-5L questionnaire
Time Frame: From baseline, every 3 cycles (every 9 weeks) until end of treatment, an average of 1 year

Developed by the EuroQol group, the self-reported questionnaire assesses the health-related quality of life of cancer patients in clinical trials consists of a descriptive system and a visual analogue scale (VAS).

The EQ-5D-5L descriptive system comprises five dimensions (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression), each dimension has 5 levels (1 = "no problems", 2 = "slight problems", 3 = "moderate problems", 4 = "severe problems", and 5 = "extreme problems"). This questionnaire provide a 5-digit score which generate a health state profile. The VAS records the patient's self-rated health on a vertical visual analogue scale where the score range from 0 (The best health you can imagine) to 100 (The worst health you can imagine). The VAS is used as a quantitative measure of health outcome that reflects the patient's own judgement.

From baseline, every 3 cycles (every 9 weeks) until end of treatment, an average of 1 year
Incidence of Adverse Events
Time Frame: From randomisation, up to 5 years
Safety and tolerability of the treatment will be evaluated using the National Cancer Institute-Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5 (NCI-CTCAE v5). NCI-CTCAE is widely accepted in the community of oncology research as the leading rating scale for adverse events. This scale, divided into 5 grades (1 = "mild", 2 = "moderate", 3 = "severe", 4 = "life-threatening", and 5 = "death") determined by the investigator, will make it possible to assess the severity of the disorders.
From randomisation, up to 5 years
