. Patients must have received one or two lines of chemotherapy.
. Patients must have at least one measurable disease by RECIST v1.1.
. Performance status (ECOG) 0-1.
. Adequate organ baseline function defined as follows: absolute neutrophil count ≥1000 cells/μL, platelet count ≥75,000 cells/μL, hemoglobin ≥9 g/dL, aspartate aminotransferase or alanine aminotransferase less than or equal to 3 × upper limit of normal, estimated glomerular filtration rate ≥60 mL/min, corrected QT interval by Fridericia's (QTcF) interval ≤470 msec.

Exclusion criteria
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring
1
Incidence of dose limiting toxicity (DLT) of GNS561 with trametinib (Phase 1b)
Timeframe: At the end of Cycle 1 (each Cycle is 21 days)
2
Objective response rate (ORR) of the combination of GNS561 with trametinib (Phase 2a)
. Previous treatment with a MEK inhibitor or autophagy inhibitor.
. Previous treatment with three or more lines of prior chemotherapy.
. Extrahepatic CCA with recent (within 6 weeks) placement of a stent or episodes of unstable biliary stents (manifest as obstruction, migration of the stent, infevtion or mechanical failure of the stent) within 6 weeks according to investigator's judgement.
. Current evidence of uncontrolled, significant intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, the following conditions:
. Cardiovascular disorders: congestive heart failure New York Heart Association ≥ class 2 or left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) \<50%, arrythmias or cardiac conduction abnormalities. Uncontrolled arterial hypertension or inadequately controlled arterial hypertension, at the discretion of the investigator, based on an average of = \>3 BP readings over = \>2 sessions.
. Patients who have retinal condition (retinal tear, exudate, hemorrhage) or history of retinal vein occlusion or central serous retinopathy or retinal pigment epithelial detachment.
. History of interstitial lung disease or pneumonitis.
. Patients who have clinically significant pleural effusion or ascites.
