Lucy Flanders: ESMO26 Highlights Unmet Needs in Adjuvant Treatment for Biliary Tract Cancer

Lucy Flanders, Consultant Medical Oncologist at Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust, shared on X:

“ESMO 2026: ACTICCA-1

Can adj GemCis improve outcomes after curative-intent resection of BTC?

Key results:

  • 2-year DFS: 52% vs 44% (HR 0.82; p=0.058)
  • DFS: 23.3 vs 20.6 OS: 58.1 vs 48.2 (HR 0.82; p=0.103) Neither DFS nor
  • OS reached statistical significance.

Take ACTICCA-1 addresses unmet need for better adj therapy in BTC, but does not establish GemCis as superior to cape.

Search for more effective adj strategies continues, including peri-op IO approaches.”
