New hope for hard-to-treat cancers: triple-drug combo targets HER2-positive tumors

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

Inclusion Criteria: * Age 18 to 75 years, male or female. * Histologically or cytologically confirmed recurrent and/or metastatic advanced biliary tract cancer or urothelial carcinoma. * Disease progression after at least one prior line of systemic antitumor therapy. For patients who received systemic antitumor therapy during adjuvant therapy or concurrent chemoradiotherapy, progression occurring within 6 months after completion of therapy is considered as one prior line of therapy. * HER2 overexpression confirmed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) 3+ or IHC 2+ with in situ hybridization (ISH)+. * Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 50%. * No prior anti-HER2 therapy. * At least one measurable lesion according to RECIST version 1.1. * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score of 0 or 1. * Adequate organ reserve function: * Urine protein ≤ 1+ on urinalysis or 24-hour urine protein \< 1.0 g, and albumin \> 2.7 g/dL. * Life expectancy ≥ 3 months as judged by the investigator. * Ability to provide written informed consent and understand and agree to comply with study requirements and assessment schedule. * Female patients of childbearing potential must agree to use highly effective contraception during the treatment period and for 12 weeks after the last dose; male patients must agree to use highly effective contraception during the treatment period and for 6 months after the last dose. Exclusion Criteria: * Known HER2-negative or HER2-low expression. * Active autoimmune disease or history of autoimmune disease with potential for relapse. Patients with the following conditions are not excluded and may proceed to further screening * Presence of other malignancies within the past 2 years or currently, except for cured cervical carcinoma in situ, non-melanoma skin cancer, and superficial bladder tumors (Ta, Tis, and T1). * Uncontrolled pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, or ascites requiring repeated drainage (at least once per month) within 14 days prior to enrollment. * Weight loss ≥ 20% within 2 months prior to enrollment. * Untreated chronic hepatitis B or chronic HBV carriers with HBV DNA \> 500 IU/mL, or patients positive for HCV RNA. Patients with inactive HBsAg carriers, those with hepatitis B who have been treated and are stable (HBV DNA \< 500 IU/mL), and those who have been cured of hepatitis C may be enrolled. * Known allergy to any study drug or excipient. * Palliative radiotherapy within 14 days prior to enrollment. * Prior anti-HER2 therapy. * Major surgery within 28 days prior to enrollment, except for minimally invasive procedures such as peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) placement. Major surgery within 28 days prior to enrollment, except for minimally invasive procedures such as peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) placement. * Any underlying medical condition, or alcohol/drug abuse or dependence, that in the investigator's opinion would interfere with study drug administration or affect the interpretation of drug toxicity or adverse events. * Concurrent participation in another therapeutic clinical study.
