Compass Therapeutics published positive Phase 2/3 COMPANION-002 results for tovecimig plus paclitaxel in advanced biliary tract cancer in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, with an ESMO 2026 oral presentation. The study met its primary endpoint with an ORR of 18.0% vs 5.3% for paclitaxel alone, and its key secondary endpoint with median PFS of 4.7 vs 2.6 months (HR=0.44), a 56% reduction in risk of progression or death. The intent-to-treat OS analysis was confounded by 54% crossover; a post hoc Two-Stage Estimation showed an OS hazard ratio of 0.85 that was not statistically significant (p=0.53).
