Disitamab vedotin in combination with lenvatinib for patients with HER2-positive unresectable locally advanced or metastatic biliary tract cancer: study protocol of a phase II clinical trial.
Chemotherapy is the standard second-line treatment option for advanced biliary tract cancer (BTC), but its therapeutic efficacy is suboptimal. Disitamab vedotin (RC48) and lenvatinib have demonstrated promising efficacy in human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive BTC and other malignancies. In this study, we aim to evaluate the efficacy and safety of RC48 in combination with lenvatinib in second-line or above treatment for HER2-positive advanced BTC.
This is a single-centre, single-arm, open-label, exploratory phase II clinical study in patients with HER2-positive unresectable locally advanced or metastatic BTC who have failed prior therapy. 31 patients will be enrolled in this study to receive the combination of RC48 and lenvatinib. The primary study endpoint is objective response rate, and the secondary study endpoints are disease control rate, duration of response, progression-free survival and overall survival.
The study has received approval from the Medical Ethics Committee of Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology (approval No. (2023)0367-01). Results will be disseminated through publication in peer-reviewed journals and through other appropriate media channels.
