This is a single-arm, Phase II, multicenter clinical trial evaluating sacituzumab tirumotecan in patients with TROP2-positive advanced biliary tract cancer who have experienced disease progression after, or intolerance to, at least one prior line of systemic therapy. Eligible participants will receive sacituzumab tirumotecan monotherapy. The primary objective is to evaluate objective response rate as assessed by the investigator according to RECIST version 1.1. Secondary objectives include evaluation of progression-free survival, overall survival, and safety. Exploratory analyses will assess the association between TROP2 protein expression and clinical efficacy, as well as potential mechanisms of resistance.
Biliary tract cancer is an aggressive malignancy with limited treatment options after failure of first-line systemic therapy. Standard second-line chemotherapy has shown limited antitumor activity, and there remains a substantial unmet need for more effective therapeutic strategies in patients with previously treated advanced biliary tract cancer. TROP2 is a transmembrane glycoprotein expressed in multiple epithelial tumors and has been reported to be frequently expressed in biliary tract cancer. Sacituzumab tirumotecan is a TROP2-directed antibody-drug conjugate designed to selectively deliver a cytotoxic payload to TROP2-expressing tumor cells. Based on the biological rationale of TROP2 expression in biliary tract cancer and the clinical activity of TROP2-directed antibody-drug conjugates in other solid tumors, this study is designed to evaluate sacituzumab tirumotecan in this molecularly selected patient population. This study will enroll patients with TROP2-positive advanced biliary tract cancer who have progressed after, or were intolerant to, at least one prior line of systemic therapy. All enrolled participants will receive sacituzumab tirumotecan monotherapy until radiographic disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, investigator decision, or other protocol-defined discontinuation criteria. Tumor response will be assessed by investigators according to RECIST version 1.1. The primary efficacy endpoint is objective response rate. Additional assessments include progression-free survival, overall survival, safety, and exploratory biomarker analyses. The study uses a Simon two-stage design to allow early termination for insufficient antitumor activity while permitting continued enrollment if prespecified response criteria are met.

Sacituzumab tirumotecan is a TROP2-directed antibody-drug conjugate. It will be administered as monotherapy at 5 mg/kg by intravenous infusion on Day 1 of each 14-day treatment cycle until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or other protocol-defined discontinuation criteria.
Objective Response Rate (ORR)
Objective response rate is defined as the proportion of participants who achieve a confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR), as assessed by the investigator according to RECIST version 1.1. Responses of CR or PR will be confirmed by repeat tumor assessment at least 4 weeks after the first documentation of response.
Time frame: From first dose until disease progression, new anticancer therapy, withdrawal, loss to follow-up, death or study end, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 24 months. First tumor assessment: Week 8 from first dose, after 4 cycles; each cycle is 14 days.
Progression-Free Survival (PFS)
Progression-free survival is defined as the time from the first dose of study treatment to the first documented radiographic disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.
Time frame: From the first dose of study treatment until radiographic disease progression, death, withdrawal, loss to follow-up, or study completion, assessed up to approximately 24 months.
Overall Survival (OS)
Overall survival is defined as the time from the first dose of study treatment to death from any cause.
Time frame: From the first dose of study treatment until death from any cause, withdrawal, loss to follow-up, or study completion, assessed up to approximately 24 months.
Incidence and Severity of Adverse Events
Safety will be assessed by the incidence, severity, and relationship to study treatment of adverse events (AEs), treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), and serious adverse events (SAEs). Safety assessments will also include adverse events leading to dose reduction, treatment interruption, treatment discontinuation, study withdrawal, or death. Adverse event severity will be graded according to NCI CTCAE version 5.0.
Time frame: From informed consent through 30 days after the last dose of study treatment, or until the start of new anticancer therapy, whichever occurs first.
