Patients with advanced BTC whose disease progressed while receiving first-line gemcitabine plus cisplatin with at least 1 measurable lesion per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors, version 1.1, were eligible.

Secondary end points were PFS as assessed by the investigator, overall survival, and objective response rate.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 178 patients (75 women [42.1%]; median [IQR] age, 64 [38-84] years) were randomly assigned, and 174 patients were included in the full analysis set (88 patients [50.6%] in the nal-IRI plus FU\/LV group vs 86 patients [49.4%] in the FU\/LV alone group). In this updated analysis, the median MICR-assessed PFS was 4.2 months (95% CI, 2.8-5.3) for the nal-IRI plus FU\/LV group and 1.7 months (95% CI, 1.4-2.6) for the FU\/LV alone group (hazard ratio, 0.61; 95% CI, 0.44-0.86; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009.004), in contrast to the 7.1 and 1.4 months reported in the previous study, respectively. The discordance rate for tumor progression date between the MICR and investigators was 17.8% (vs 30% in the previous study).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions and Relevance<\/jats:title><jats:p>The NIFTY randomized clinical trial demonstrated significant improvement in PFS with treatment with nal-IRI plus FU\/LV compared with FU\/LV alone for patients with advanced BTC after progression to gemcitabine plus cisplatin. The combination of nal-IRI plus FU\/LV could be considered as a second-line treatment option for patients with previously treated advanced BTC.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Trial
