A phase III, randomized, open-label study of first-line durvalumab (D) with or without tremelimumab (T) vs standard of care chemotherapy in patients with unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (DANUBE)

DANUBE Results at ESMO 2020

Abstract No : Abstract #697O

Indication : Urothelial carcinoma

Intervention : Durvalumab + tremelimumab

Company : Astrazeneca

Technology : PD-1/CTLA-4 Inhibitor


Results:

A total of 1032 pts were randomized. Median OS was not significantly different between D and CT (14.4 vs 12.1) among pts with high PD-L1 expression, nor between D+T and CT in the ITT population.Treatment-related adverse events of grade 3–4 occurred in 14%, 28%, and 60% of pts in the D, D+T, and CT arms, with deaths possibly related to treatment in 0.6%, 0.6%, and 0.3% of pts, respectively.


Conclusion:

While a trend towards improved OS was observed with D vs CT in the PD-L1 high population and with D+T vs CT in the ITT population, statistical significance was not reached. Additional analyses are ongoing to characterize D and D+T efficacy/safety in different pt subgroups


Executive Summary

Astrazeneca presented its view on the failure of DANUBE Phase III trial, which evaluated Durvalumab with or without tremelimumab in metastatic Urothelial Carcinoma (UC).
