New drug combo for advanced bile duct cancer with HER2
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests a new combination of drugs for advanced bile duct cancer that has not been treated yet and shows a protein called HER2. It compares the new combination to the standard treatment to see if it works better or has fewer side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have advanced or metastatic bile duct cancer that cannot be removed by surgery and you have not had treatment for this stage yet.
- Your tumor shows a specific protein called HER2 (2+ or 3+ on a test).
- You are physically active and able to take care of yourself (ECOG 0 or 1).
- You have not had certain prior cancer treatments (like HER2-targeted therapy or immunotherapy).

This phase 3 trial tests whether adding zanidatamab (a targeted antibody) to standard chemotherapy can improve outcomes for advanced HER2-positive biliary tract cancer. If you have this type of cancer that has spread or can't be removed, and you've had little or no prior treatment, this study might be an option.
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and heat therapy (hyperthermia) with a special radiation technique for advanced bile duct or gallbladder cancer that hasn't been treated before. It aims to see if this combination can help shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
This trial tests a combination of trastuzumab (a HER2-targeted drug), serplulimab (an immunotherapy), and chemotherapy for people with advanced bile duct or bladder cancer that is HER2-positive and has not responded to prior treatments. The goal is to see if this mix can shrink tumors or slow the disease.
This trial tests if adding trastuzumab to standard chemotherapy can help people with advanced bile duct or gallbladder cancer that tests positive for HER2. The study aims to see if the combination works better than chemotherapy alone.
This trial tests a new drug called CTX-009 combined with three standard chemotherapy drugs (gemcitabine, cisplatin, and durvalumab) as a first treatment for bile duct cancer that cannot be removed by surgery or has spread. It aims to see if this combination is safe and effective.
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (trastuzumab rezetecan, adebrelimab, and lenvatinib) as a first treatment for people with advanced HER2-positive or HER2-low bile duct or gallbladder cancer. The goal is to see if this combination helps shrink or control the cancer.
