Study summary

Malignant tumors of the biliary system are highly invasive and malignant with an increasing incidence rate. Comprehensive drug therapy is the main treatment for advanced biliary tract tumors, yet the current gemcitabine plus platinum-based chemotherapy regimens yield suboptimal efficacy maintenance in patients with advanced biliary tract tumors. There is an urgent need for effective second-line treatment regimens for advanced biliary tract tumors. Vicinecumab is a recombinant humanized anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody generated by conjugating a potent cytotoxic small molecule to trastuzumab. It inhibits tumor cell proliferation and promotes tumor cell death by blocking various cellular physiological functions including mitosis. Current research data have demonstrated that in patients with recurrent and metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma who have received systemic therapy, vicinecumab can significantly improve patients' survival and prognosis compared with the chemotherapy group, with a manageable safety profile. Therefore, this study aims to observe and evaluate the efficacy and safety of vicinecumab in the second-line and subsequent treatment of advanced biliary tract tumors.

Inclusion criteria

  1. Aged 18-80 years, of any gender.
  2. Patients with histologically or cytologically confirmed primary advanced biliary tract carcinoma (BTC), including intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC), extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ECC), gallbladder carcinoma (GBC), and recurrent biliary tract carcinoma.
  3. EGFR IHC-positive assessed by a pathological laboratory.
  4. Have received at least one line of prior systemic therapy.
  5. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-1.
  6. Expected survival ≥ 3 months.
  7. At least one measurable target lesion assessable by CT or MRI according to RECIST version 1.1.
  8. Laboratory test results meeting the following criteria:

(1) Hematologic function: Hemoglobin (Hb) ≥90 g/L; white blood cell count (WBC) ≥ lower limit of normal (LLN); absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1.5×10⁹/L; platelet count ≥100×10⁹/L.

(2) Renal function: Creatinine ≤1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN); creatinine clearance (Ccr) ≥55 mL/min.

(3) Hepatic function: Total bilirubin ≤1.5 × ULN; ALT and AST ≤2.5 × ULN. (For patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma or liver metastases: total bilirubin ≤3 × ULN; ALT and AST ≤5 × ULN).

9. Absence of severe complications, such as active gastrointestinal hemorrhage, perforation, jaundice, gastrointestinal obstruction, or non-neoplastic fever >38 °C.

10. Women of child-bearing potential: agree to use contraception during the study and for 6 months after the last study treatment; have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test within 7 days prior to enrollment; and are not lactating. Male patients: agree to use contraception during the study and for 6 months after the last study treatment.

11. Expected good compliance and ability to follow study procedures for efficacy and safety follow-up.

12. Able to understand the study and provide written informed consent voluntarily.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Diagnosis of other malignant tumors within the past 5 years, except for carcinoma in situ and basal cell carcinoma.
  2. Known central nervous system metastases (excluding patients with stable, asymptomatic disease 4 weeks after radiotherapy or surgery), or evidence of carcinomatous meningitis.
  3. Psychiatric or neurological disorders that may impair subject compliance with study requirements.
  4. Prior treatment with MMAE-payload antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs).
  5. Planned or prior organ or bone marrow transplantation.
  6. Administration of live vaccines within 30 days before the first study drug dose. Inactivated seasonal injectable influenza vaccine is permitted.
  7. Uncontrolled clinically significant cardiac signs or diseases.
  8. Active infection or fever (excluding documented tumor-related fever).
  9. History or evidence of interstitial lung disease or active non-infectious pneumonitis.
  10. Other medical conditions rendering the subject ineligible for enrollment, including immunodeficiency, active pulmonary tuberculosis, positive hepatitis C virus test, uncorrectable electrolyte disturbances, uncontrolled pericardial, pleural or peritoneal effusion. Patients with hepatitis B may be enrolled if HBV-DNA \< 500 IU/mL and liver function is normal after treatment.
  11. Known hypersensitivity to any study drug or its excipients.
  12. Receipt of radiotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy or immunotherapy within 4 weeks prior to enrollment.
  13. Participation in another interventional drug clinical trial within 4 weeks prior to enrollment.
  14. Pregnant or lactating women.
  15. Subjects deemed inappropriate for enrollment at the investigator's discretion.
