Background: The global, single-arm, Phase 3b TOURMALINE study (NCT05771480) assesses the safety and efficacy of D+G-based chemotherapy as first-line tx in aBTC. Optimising care by reducing infusion time may benefit patients and physicians. Preliminary safety data, including 30 min infusion time with D are reported.

Methods: Participants (pts) received D 1500 mg (first infusion: 60 min; subsequent infusions: 30 min) with an investigator-selected G-based chemotherapy (D+G alone or in combination with oxaliplatin, carboplatin, cisplatin (cis), tegafur-gimeracil-oteracil (S-1), cis+S-1, or cis+nab-paclitaxel). D was administered every 3 weeks (Q3W) with a G-based chemotherapy Q3W (8 cycles of D) or Q4W with G+cis+S-1 Q2W (4 cycles of D). Data cut-off (DCO) for the predefined safety review was 27 March 2024.

Results: Overall, 62 pts could have received≥2 cycles of D by DCO. Over 90% of pts were Asian with a median age of 66 years; 23% had locally advanced disease, 61% had metastatic disease and 16% had both. At screening, 24% of pts had ECOG PS 2, reflecting pts with more severe disease versus the TOPAZ-1 study (NCT03875235). Safety was comparable between 60 and 30 min D infusion time. One pt had an infusion reaction adverse event (AE) at Cycle 4 following D+G+oxaliplatin (possibly related to oxaliplatin). AEs and serious AEs (SAEs) were reported in 98% and 29% of pts, respectively, and 87% and 6% of pts had an AE or SAE possibly related to any study tx, respectively (Table). Grade 3 or 4 AEs and SAEs were reported in 68% and 24% of pts, respectively. AEs led to a D dose delay in 26% of pts and discontinuation in 2% of pts. Immune-related AEs (imAEs) occurred in 29% of pts (Table). There were no AEs with an outcome of death.

Conclusions: No difference in infusion-related safety between 30 and 60 min infusion time was observed. No new safety signals were seen with the addition of D to other chemotherapy regimens beyond TOPAZ-1 regimens.
