    From February 2018 to October 2018, 77 patients were enrolled with atezolizumab (n = 39) or atezolizumab + cobimetinib (n = 38)


    The trial met its primary endpoint, with a median PFS of 3.



    PFS

    The ORRs of the combination and single-agent groups were 3.

     Efficacy assessment

    TRAEs of any grade occurred similarly in the two groups, with 33 (84.

    AEs

    Taken together, the study showed that atezolizumab + cobimetinib combination therapy prolonged PFS compared with atezolizumab monotherapy, but the low response rates in both groups also indicated the immune- tolerant properties of BTC
