About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Controlled, Open-Label, Multi-center Study of Becotatug Vedotin (EGFR-ADC) Combined With Chemo and Immunotherapy vs. Chemo and Immunotherapy as First-Line Treatment in Advanced/Metastatic EGFR-Mutated Biliary Tract Cancer

This study tests whether adding becotatug vedotin (EGFR-ADC) to standard chemotherapy plus immunotherapy improves outcomes compared to chemotherapy plus immunotherapy alone as first-line treatment for patients with advanced or metastatic biliary tract cancer whose tumors carry EGFR mutations. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the experimental combination (becotatug vedotin + pucotenlimab + gemcitabine + cisplatin) or the control combination (pucotenlimab + gemcitabine + cisplatin). The main goal is to see if the experimental group has a higher objective response rate (tumor shrinkage rate). This is a randomized, controlled, open-label, multicenter study led by Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital, Zhejiang University, with Dr. Chen Mingyu as the principal investigator.

Being tested
Becotatug Vedotin, Pucotenlimab, Gemcitabine, Cisplatin

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Becotatug Vedotin, Pucotenlimab and Gemcitabine in people with Cholangiocarcinoma, run by Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 12 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 May 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Mingyu Chen (+86 18757772223, mychen@zju.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

ORR (time frame: After two treatment cycles(each cycle is 28 days)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 20 May 2026.
