SHR-A1904 for advanced biliary tract cancer after prior systemic treatment failure

Official title: A Phase IIa/IIb Clinical Study of SHR-A1904 in Patients With Previous Systemic Treatment Failure, Positive CLDN18.2 Expression of Locally Advanced Unresectable or Recurrent Metastatic Biliary Tract Cancer

Run by Suzhou Suncadia Biopharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. · NCT07450976 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This trial will test whether the experimental drug SHR-A1904 can help people with advanced or metastatic biliary tract cancer whose prior systemic treatments failed and whose tumors express CLDN18.2.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults 18–75 years old with histologically confirmed locally advanced or metastatic biliary tract cancer, ECOG 0–1, CLDN18.2 positive tumors, measurable disease, adequate organ function, and prior systemic therapy failure or intolerance.

Probably not a fit

Patients without CLDN18.2 expression, with untreated brain metastases, severe liver dysfunction (Child-Pugh C), other active cancers, recent anti-tumor therapy within 4 weeks, or ECOG >1 are unlikely to qualify or benefit from this trial.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is a multicenter Phase 2 trial enrolling adults with advanced or metastatic biliary tract cancer that is positive for CLDN18.2 and has progressed after prior systemic therapy. Participants receive SHR-A1904 by infusion and continue treatment until unacceptable toxicity or disease progression. The trial is monitoring tumor response by RECIST v1.1, along with safety, pharmacokinetics, and immunogenicity. Sites listed include major cancer centers in Beijing and Shanghai, China.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, SHR-A1904 could offer a new targeted treatment option for CLDN18.2-positive biliary tract cancer patients who have exhausted standard systemic therapies.

How similar studies have gone: CLDN18.2-targeted therapies have shown clinical benefit in gastric cancer and early signals in other gastrointestinal tumors, but their use in biliary tract cancer remains investigational with limited published data.
