The HARMONi-GI1 trial tested first-line ivonescimab in advanced biliary tract cancer. The companies reported a statistically significant overall-survival benefit and said detailed efficacy and safety data will be presented later.

What happened

  • The China-based Phase 3 HARMONi-GI1 trial compared ivonescimab plus chemotherapy with durvalumab plus chemotherapy in first-line advanced biliary tract cancer.
  • The companies said the study met its primary overall-survival endpoint.
  • Numerical efficacy and safety results have not yet been released.

Why it matters

The result extends ivonescimab’s Phase 3 record beyond lung cancer and sets up a direct data comparison with an established immunotherapy regimen once full results arrive.
