Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 19 and older with advanced biliary tract adenocarcinoma that is unresectable or metastatic.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who have previously received certain immune checkpoint inhibitors or those with specific immune-related adverse events may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This phase II, multicenter, open-label study evaluates the safety and efficacy of GEN-001 in combination with pembrolizumab, and potentially with mFOLFOX, for patients with advanced refractory biliary tract cancer who have not responded to prior therapies. The study includes a safety run-in phase before the main trial to assess initial safety outcomes. Eligible patients must have a confirmed diagnosis of unresectable, recurrent, or metastatic biliary tract adenocarcinoma and have progressed after one or two standard treatments.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with advanced biliary tract cancer who have limited treatment choices.
How similar studies have gone: While there have been studies on similar combinations, this specific approach is novel and has not been extensively tested in this patient population.

Show full inclusion / exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * The patient (or legally acceptable representative if applicable) provides written informed consent for the trial. * Be ≥19 years of age on day of signing informed consent. * Patient with histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of unresectable, recurrent, or metastatic advanced biliary tract adenocarcinoma of the gallbladder or biliary tree (either intrahepatic or extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma) Exclusion Criteria: * A WOCBP who has a positive urine pregnancy test (within 72 hours) prior to treatment. If the urine test is positive or cannot be confirmed as negative, a serum pregnancy test will be required. * Has received prior therapy with an anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, or anti-PD-L2 agent or with an agent directed to another stimulatory or co-inhibitory T-cell receptor (Cohort 1 only), and was discontinued from the previous IO therapy due to a Grade 3 or higher immune-related AE (irAE) (Cohort 2 and Cohort 3). * Is currently participating and receiving study treatments or has participated in a study of an investigational agent and received the study therapy or has used an investigational device within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study treatment. * Has had an allogeneic tissue/solid organ transplan
