Summary

This trial aims to compare the effectiveness and safety of a new drug combination called T-DXd with rilvegostomig or T-DXd alone to the standard treatment of gemcitabine

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced HER2-expressing Biliary Tract Cancer (BTC) who haven't had treatment before. Participants must have a specific protein in their cancer cells, which will be checked using special tests like Ventana PD-L1 SP263 assay or Agilent HercepTest™ mAb pharmDx.
What is being tested?
The study compares the effectiveness and safety of T-DXd alone or combined with rilvegostomig against standard chemotherapy (gemcitabine plus cisplatin) and durvalumab. It's a Phase 3 trial, meaning it's testing treatments that have shown promise in earlier trials.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions to infusion, fatigue, nausea, hair loss from chemotherapy drugs gemcitabine and cisplatin; immune-related issues from durvalumab; and potential unique effects from T-DXd and rilvegostomig.
