HERIZON-BTC-01

A Phase 2b, Open-label, Single-arm Study of ZW25 Monotherapy in Subjects With Advanced or Metastatic HER2-amplified Biliary Tract Cancers

Phase 2N = 87NCT04466891

Population
Adults with HER2-amplified (central in-situ hybridisation) unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic biliary tract cancer, progression on previous gemcitabine-based therapy, ECOG performance status 0 or 1 and at least one measurable lesion; 80 patients in cohort 1 (IHC 2+ or 3+) and seven in cohort 2 (IHC 0 or 1+).
Design
Global, multicentre, single-arm phase 2b trial at 32 sites in nine countries of zanidatamab 20 mg/kg intravenously every 2 weeks in HER2-amplified (in-situ hybridisation, central testing) unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic biliary tract cancer with progression on previous gemcitabine-based therapy. Cohort 1: HER2 immunohistochemistry (IHC) 2+ or 3+ (HER2-positive); cohort 2: IHC 0 or 1+. Primary endpoint: confirmed objective response rate in cohort 1 by independent central review. Median duration of follow-up 12.4 months (IQR 9.4-17.2); data cutoff 10 October 2022. Single-arm; no comparison group.

The label's clinical studies section gives no data cutoff, so these figures may reflect a later cutoff than the 2023 paper. This is the IHC 3+ subset of cohort 1 (the paper's primary analysis covers all 80 patients in cohort 1) and the population on which the FDA indication (IHC 3+) rests; the label names ORR and DOR as the major efficacy outcome measures in it.

Median-only curves assume a constant hazard (exponential) and fit plateaus, as seen with some immunotherapies, poorly.
