Inclusion criteria
. Age ≥ 18 and ≤ 75 years.
. Histologically confirmed, unresectable advanced biliary tract carcinoma, including cholangiocarcinoma (intrahepatic or extrahepatic) and gallbladder cancer (diagnosed according to the 2025 Chinese Society of Clinical Oncology (CSCO) Guidelines for Biliary Tract Malignancies and confirmed by a multidisciplinary team). Must have a documented targetable gene mutation, including but not limited to: Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor 2 (FGFR2) fusion/rearrangement, Isocitrate Dehydrogenase (NADP(+)) 1 (IDH-1) and Isocitrate Dehydrogenase (NADP(+)) 2 (IDH-2) mutations, Erb-B2 Receptor Tyrosine Kinase 2 (ERBB2/HER2) amplification and/or overexpression, B-Raf Proto-Oncogene, Serine/Threonine Kinase (BRAF) V600E mutation, Kirsten Rat Sarcoma Viral Oncogene Homolog (KRAS) mutation, Neurotrophic Tyrosine Receptor Kinase (NTRK) fusion, Rearranged during Transfection (RET) fusion, Ring Finger Protein 43 (RNF43) mutation, MET Proto-Oncogene, Receptor Tyrosine Kinase (MET) amplification, Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) mutation, Phosphatidylinositol-4,5-Bisphosphate 3-Kinase Catalytic Subunit Alpha (PIK3CA) mutation, BRCA1 DNA Repair Associated (BRCA1)/BRCA2 DNA Repair Associated (BRCA2) mutation, Partner and Localizer of BRCA2 (PALB2) mutation, Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor (VEGFR) mutation, deficient Mismatch Repair (dMMR)/Microsatellite Instability-High (MSI-H), or Neuregulin 1 (NRG1) mutation.
. At least one measurable lesion according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 (measurable lesion defined as longest diameter ≥10 mm on Computed Tomography (CT)/Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan).
. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-1.
. Child-Pugh class A or B liver function. For patients with obstructive jaundice, total bilirubin must be ≤ 50 µmol/L. Biliary drainage is recommended if total bilirubin is \> 50 µmol/L.
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
Objective response rate, ORR
Timeframe: Four weeks after the initiation of medication
. No history of severe arrhythmia or heart failure; no severe ventilation dysfunction or severe pulmonary infection; no acute or chronic renal failure with creatinine clearance \> 40 mL/min.
. Life expectancy of more than 3 months.
Exclusion criteria
. Major surgery within 28 days prior to enrollment.
