Targeted drug aims to shrink Hard-to-Treat bile duct cancers

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Female participants of childbearing potential and male participants with partners of childbearing potential must agree to use effective medically accepted contraception from the time of signing the informed consent form until 6 months after the last dose of study treatment. 9. Voluntarily agrees to participate in the study, provides written informed consent, has good compliance, and is willing to cooperate with study follow-up. Exclusion Criteria: Participants who meet any of the following criteria will be excluded: 1. Prior treatment with any TROP2-directed therapy or any topoisomerase I inhibitor-containing therapy, including antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) therapy, whether administered in the adjuvant, neoadjuvant, or advanced disease setting. 2. Ongoing or active infection. 3. Participation in another clinical trial of an antitumor drug within 4 weeks before screening. 4. History of another uncured malignancy within 5 years, except cured basal cell carcinoma of the skin or carcinoma in situ of the cervix. 5. Known hypersensitivity to the study drug or any of its components. 6. Any of the following cardiovascular or cerebrovascular diseases or risk factors: 1. Myocardial infarction, unstable angina, acute or persistent myocardial ischemia, New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III or IV heart failure, symptomatic or poorly controlled severe arrhythmia, cerebrovascular accident, transient ischemic attack, or other severe cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disease within 6 months before the first dose of study treatment. 2. History of myocarditis, primary cardiomyopathy, specific cardiomyopathy, or other myocardial disease. 3. Deep vein thrombosis within 3 months before the first dose of study treatment, unless stable for ≥2 weeks after treatment with low-molecular-weight heparin or a drug with similar efficacy; peripheral arterial thromboembolic event, pulmonary embolism, or other severe thromboembolic event within 3 months before the first dose of study treatment. 4. Life-threatening major vascular disease, such as aortic aneurysm or aortic dissecting aneurysm, or major vascular disease requiring surgery within 6 months before the first dose of study treatment. 7. Uncontrolled systemic disease as judged by the investigator, including: 1. Poorly controlled diabetes mellitus, defined as fasting blood glucose ≥10 mmol/L on two consecutive tests. 2. Poorly controlled hypertension, defined as systolic blood pressure \>160 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure \>100 mmHg. 3. Symptomatic pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, or ascites requiring repeated drainage more than once per week. 8. History of noninfectious interstitial pulmonary fibrosis or noninfectious pneumonitis requiring steroid treatment; current interstitial pulmonary fibrosis or noninfectious pneumonitis; or suspected interstitial pulmonary fibrosis or noninfectious pneumonitis that cannot be ruled out by imaging during screening. 9. Documented severe dry eye syndrome, severe meibomian gland disease and/or blepharitis, or history of severe corneal disease that may impair or delay corneal healing. 10. Clinically significant pulmonary impairment due to pulmonary comorbidities, including but not limited to severe asthma within 3 months before the first dose of study treatment, severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, restrictive lung disease, autoimmune, connective tissue, or inflammatory disease that may involve the lungs, such as rheumatoid arthritis, Sjögren syndrome, or sarcoidosis, or prior total pneumonectomy. 11. Active chronic inflammatory bowel disease, gastrointestinal obstruction, severe ulcer, gastrointestinal perforation, intra-abdominal abscess, or acute gastrointestinal bleeding. 12. Active gastrointestinal disease or other condition that may significantly affect the absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion of study treatment, such as refractory nausea and vomiting, chronic gastrointestinal disease, inability to swallow medication, or prior major bowel resection. 13. Risk of esophagotracheal fistula or esophagopleural fistula, or tumor invasion or compression of surrounding vital organs or blood vessels, such as the heart, esophagus, or superior vena cava, accompanied by related symptoms, such as superior vena cava syndrome. 14. Toxicities from prior antitumor therapy that have not recovered to Grade ≤1 according to NCI CTCAE version 5.0 or to the level specified in the eligibility criteria, except for toxicities considered by the investigator to pose low safety risk, such as alopecia or fatigue. 15. Active autoimmune disease requiring systemic treatment within the past 2 years, including disease-modifying agents, immunosuppressive drugs, or systemic corticosteroids at a dose of \>10 mg/day prednisone or equivalent. Hormone replacement therapy, such as thyroxine, insulin, or physiologic corticosteroid replacement for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency, is not considered systemic treatment. Participants who have received systemic corticosteroids at \>10 mg/day prednisone or equivalent or other immunosuppressive drugs within 2 weeks before the first dose of study treatment will also be excluded. 16. Severe infection within 4 weeks before the first dose of study treatment, including but not limited to infection with complications requiring hospitalization, sepsis, or severe pneumonia; or active infection requiring systemic anti-infective therapy within 2 weeks before the first dose of study treatment. 17. Known active tuberculosis. Participants suspected of having active tuberculosis must undergo clinical evaluation to rule out active tuberculosis. 18. Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection with detectable HBV DNA, defined according to local laboratory requirements as ≥10 IU/mL or above the lower limit of detection, unless antiviral therapy is initiated before treatment according to institutional practice to ensure adequate viral suppression and is maintained during the study and for 6 months after the last dose of study treatment. Participants who are anti-HBc positive but have undetectable HBV DNA do not require antiviral therapy unless HBV DNA becomes \>10 IU/mL or reaches the lower limit of detection according to local laboratory requirements during treatment. 19. Positive human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) test or history of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS); known active syphilis infection. 20. History of allogeneic organ transplantation or allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. 21. Major surgery within 4 weeks before the first dose of study treatment, or anticipated need for major surgery during the study. 22. Known hypersensitivity to the study drug or any of its components, including polysorbate 20, or history of severe hypersensitivity reaction to other biologic agents. 23. Receipt of nonspecific immunomodulatory therapy within 2 weeks before the first dose of study treatment, including but not limited to interferon or interleukin-2, or Chinese patent medicines approved for antitumor indications. 24.

Receipt of a live vaccine within 30 days before the first dose of study treatment, or planned receipt of a live vaccine during the study. 26. Rapid disease deterioration during screening before study drug administration, such as a significant change in performance status. 27. Pregnant or breastfeeding women. 28. Any condition that, in the investigator's judgment, may interfere with evaluation of the study drug, compromise participant safety, affect interpretation of study results, or otherwise make the participant unsuitable for participation in this study.
