Clinical and biomarker analyses of SHR-1701 combined with famitinib in patients with previously treated advanced biliary tract cancer or pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma: a phase II trial.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Advanced biliary tract cancer (BTC) and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) have poor prognoses and limited treatment options. Here, we conducted this first-in-class phase II study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SHR-1701, a bifunctional fusion protein targeting programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β), combined with famitinib, a multi-targeted receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, in patients with advanced BTC or PDAC who failed previous standard treatment (trial registration: ChiCTR2000037927). Among 51 enrolled patients, the BTC cohort showed an objective response rate (ORR) of 28% (including 2 complete responses) and a disease control rate (DCR) of 80%, with a median progression-free survival (mPFS) of 5.1 months and a median overall survival (mOS) of 16.0 months. In the PDAC cohort, the ORR was 15% (2 complete responses), with a DCR of 60%, and the mPFS and mOS were 2.1 months and 5.3 months, respectively. Grade 3 or 4 treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) occurred in 29.4% of patients, with no grade 5 TRAEs reported. Exploratory analyses revealed that primary tumor resection history, peripheral blood immunophenotype changes, and distinct immune-metabolic profiles were associated with treatment benefits. An immune/metabolism score integrating the features of six genes was developed as a predictive biomarker for immunotherapy response in multiple cohorts, allowing for the selection of patients most likely to experience positive outcomes from this therapy regimen. In conclusion, our study provides proof-of-concept data supporting the potential of SHR-1701 plus famitinib as an effective and safe subsequent-line therapy for refractory BTC and PDAC, highlighting the promise of targeting PD-L1, TGF-β, and angiogenesis pathways simultaneously.
