AstraZeneca’s latest clinical study, officially titled ‘A Phase IIIb, Single Arm, Open-label, Multicentre Study of Durvalumab in Combination With Chemotherapy for the First Line Treatment for Patients With Advanced Biliary Tract Cancers (TOURMALINE),’ aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of durvalumab combined with gemcitabine-based chemotherapy in patients with advanced biliary tract cancers (aBTCs). This study is significant as it explores potential first-line treatment options for this challenging condition.
The intervention being tested is durvalumab, a biological treatment administered alongside various gemcitabine-based chemotherapy regimens. Durvalumab is intended to enhance the efficacy of chemotherapy in treating aBTCs.
The study employs an interventional design with a single-group model, meaning all participants receive the same treatment. There is no masking involved, and the primary purpose is treatment-focused, aiming to improve patient outcomes.
The study commenced on August 16, 2023, with an active, not recruiting status. The last update was submitted on August 6, 2025. These dates are crucial as they provide a timeline for the study’s progress and expected completion.
The market implications of this study are significant for AstraZeneca, as positive results could boost investor confidence and potentially enhance the company’s stock performance. In the competitive landscape of oncology treatments, successful outcomes could position AstraZeneca favorably against its competitors.
The study is ongoing, with further details available on the ClinicalTrials portal.
