Summary

This trial is testing a new cancer drug, zanidatamab, to see if it is safe and effective for treating certain types of gastrointestinal cancers. Eligible patients have cancer that has spread and cannot be removed by surgery.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced HER2-expressing gastrointestinal cancers, including gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma, biliary tract cancer, and colorectal cancer that can't be removed by surgery. Participants should have an ECOG score of 0 or 1 (which means they are fully active or restricted in physically strenuous activity but can do light work), no prior treatment with HER2-targeted agents, and no significant heart disease or untreated brain metastases.
What is being tested?
The study tests ZW25 (zanidatamab) combined with standard chemotherapy to see how safe it is and how well it works against certain gastrointestinal cancers. It's a Phase 2 trial where all participants receive the experimental drug plus one of several chemo regimens like Fluorouracil/Leucovorin with Bevacizumab or Gemcitabine/Cisplatin.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions related to infusion of the drugs, nausea, vomiting from chemotherapy; increased risk of bleeding or blood clots due to Bevacizumab; nerve damage symptoms like tingling or numbness from Oxaliplatin; and general fatigue.
