NCT07129018

Brief Summary

Based on unmet clinical needs, relevant research backgrounds, and scientific evidence, it is planned to conduct a prospective, dual-cohort exploratory study. The aim of this study is to explore the efficacy and safety of ricartuzumab combined with pertuzumab and epalrestat-vorolizumab in the first-line treatment of HER2-expressing locally advanced or metastatic biliary tract cancer. It is expected to provide more treatment options for biliary tract cancer patients, optimize treatment strategies, and improve patients' long-term survival rates.

Study Arms (2)

HER2 Overexpression Cohort

EXPERIMENTAL

HER2 Overexpression :IHC 3+ or IHC 2+/FISH +;

Drug: Trastuzumab-rezetecan + Pertuzumab + Iparomlimab and Tuvonralimab for HER2 Overexpression BTC

HER2 Moderate/Low Expression Cohort

EXPERIMENTAL

HER2 Moderate/Low Expression:IHC 2+/FISH -(Moderate Expression)IHC 1+(Low Expression);

Drug: Trastuzumab-rezetecan + Pertuzumab + Iparomlimab and Tuvonralimab for HER2 Moderate/Low BTC

Interventions

Subjects received treatment with Iparomlimab and Tuvonralimab (5.0 mg/kg, iv, d1, q3w) and Trastuzumab-rezetecan (4.8 mg/kg, iv, d1, q3w) in combination with Pertuzumab (initial dose 840 mg, iv, followed by 420 mg, iv, d1, q3w). Study treatment continued until the occurrence of a protocol-specified treatment discontinuation event. Following the end of treatment, subjects will continue to undergo safety follow-up and survival follow-up. For subjects who discontinued treatment for reasons other than disease progression, periodic tumor imaging assessment follow-up will also continue after treatment cessation.

Also known as: Three-drug combination regimen

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 75 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Patients must voluntarily participate in the trial, provide fully informed consent with signed written documentation, and demonstrate good compliance.
  • Age between 18 and 75 years (inclusive), calculated as of the day of signing the informed consent form; both male and female patients are eligible.
  • Patients must have histologically or cytologically confirmed locally advanced or metastatic biliary tract cancer, including: Cholangiocarcinoma (intrahepatic or extrahepatic) and Gallbladder carcinoma
  • HER2 Expression Criteria: HER2 Overexpression: IHC 3+ OR IHC 2+ with FISH-positive (gene amplification); HER2 Moderate/Low Expression: Moderate: IHC 2+ with FISH-negative (no gene amplification) Low: IHC 1+ (any level of HER2 staining)
  • Patients must not have received prior systemic anti-tumor therapy for advanced disease. Prior neoadjuvant/adjuvant chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy is permitted, provided ≥6 months have elapsed between the last dose and disease recurrence.
  • Patients must have at least one measurable lesion meeting RECIST v1.1 criteria, and the lesion must be suitable for repeated accurate measurements.
  • ECOG performance status of 0 or 1;
  • estimated life expectancy ≥12 weeks;
  • Adequate organ and bone marrow function meeting all criteria below (within 14 days prior to treatment initiation): 1. Hematological Tests \*(No transfusion, G-CSF use, or corrective medication within 14 days before screening)\* Hemoglobin (Hb) ≥90 g/L Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) ≥1.5 × 10\<sup\>9\</sup\>/L Platelets (PLT) ≥75 × 10\<sup\>9\</sup\>/L 2.
