D07001 Softgel-Capsules and Capecitabine Combination Therapy in Patients With Advanced Biliary Tract Cancer

Inclusion criteria

• Provide written informed consent prior to any study procedures and agree to adhere to all protocol requirements.
• Participant aged at least 18 years at the time of consent.
• Participant has histopathological or cytologic diagnosis of unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic BTC (cholangiocarcinoma, gallbladder cancer, or ampullary carcinoma).
• Participant has measurable disease as assessed by central review by RECIST v1.1.
• Participant must have failed on a gemcitabine + cisplatin-based chemotherapy, regardless of whether an immune checkpoint inhibitor, such as durvalumab or pembrolizumab, or S-1 (tegafur, gimeracil, and oteracil potassium), was also administered. Oxaliplatin or carboplatin may be substituted for cisplatin when renal or auditory function is of concern. Participants also have failed (disease progression or intolerance) on, or refused FOLFOX chemotherapy, including modified FOLFOX variants, or failed on irinotecan + fluorouracil-based chemotherapy.
• Participants with tumors expressing the following biomarkers may be enrolled even if they have not previously received FOLFOX but have received appropriate targeted therapies until disease progression or intolerance: fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFR) aberrations, microsatellite instability biomarker/deficient DNA mismatch repair, Tumor Mutation Burden-high, or mutations in isocitrate dehydrogenase, BRAF, HER2, NTRK, RET, or KRAS G12C.
• Participant has ECOG PS of 0-2.
• Participant's life expectancy is ≥12 weeks.
• Participant has adequate bone marrow function, demonstrated by:
• Absolute neutrophil count ≥1500 cell/mm3.
• Platelet count ≥85,000 cells/mm3.
• Hemoglobin ≥9 g/dL.
• Participant has adequate liver function, demonstrated by:
• Aspartate transaminase and alanine transaminase ≤2.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN), or ≤5.0 × ULN in the case of liver lesions.
• Total bilirubin ≤1.5 × ULN.
• Albumin ≥3.0 g/dL.
• International normalized ratio \<1.5.
• Participant has adequate renal function, demonstrated by creatinine clearance ≥ 45 mL/min calculated by Cockcroft-Gault formula or estimated glomerular filtration rate ≥ 45 mL/min/1.73 m2 by the 2021 Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration creatinine equation.
• No clinically significant abnormalities in coagulation results.
• Participant is eligible to participate if not pregnant (as demonstrated by serum pregnancy testing at Screening), not breastfeeding, and at least 1 of the following conditions applies:
• Not of childbearing potential (CBP). Participants of non-childbearing potential are defined as those with functioning ovaries with a documented history of tubal ligation or hysterectomy or who are postmenopausal, as defined by 12 months of spontaneous amenorrhea with an appropriate clinical profile, e.g., age appropriate, \>45 years, in the absence of hormone replacement therapy. If necessary, a blood sample for follicle stimulating hormone will be obtained to confirm postmenopausal status.
• A participant of CBP who is sexually active with a partner who could impregnate them agrees to use a highly effective form of contraception during the study and for at least 6 months after the EOS intervention.
• Participants with partners of childbearing potential whom they could impregnate must agree to use contraception during the study and for 3 months after the EOS intervention.
• Participants who are able to donate sperm must refrain from sperm donation during the study and for 3 months after the EOS intervention.
• Participant is willing to comply with the protocol-required visit schedule and visit requirements.
• More than 14 days have elapsed between the participant completing a prior line of chemotherapy or targeted therapy, and enrollment. More than 28 days have elapsed between the participant receiving concurrent radiotherapy (CCRT) and enrollment

Exclusion criteria

• Participant has a diagnosis of active malignancy other than BTC within the past 2 years, except nonmelanoma skin carcinoma and carcinoma-in-situ of uterine cervix treated with curative intent.
• Participant discontinued prior gemcitabine due to pulmonary or hepatic toxicity or hemolytic uremic syndrome, hypersensitivity, allergic reaction, or intolerance.
• Participant had a prior unanticipated severe reaction to capecitabine or metabolites or to fluoropyrimidine therapy.
• Participant received treatment with brivudine, sorivudine, or its chemically related analogs ≤28 days prior to the date of enrollment.
• Participant is currently receiving flucytosine treatment.
• Participant has residual toxicity from prior chemotherapy or CCRT that is Grade ≥2 (residual Grade 2 neuropathy and alopecia are permitted).
• Participant has any gastrointestinal disorder or prior gastrointestinal surgery that would significantly impede absorption of an oral agent, such as gastrectomy, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, or short gut syndrome.
• Participant has known brain or leptomeningeal metastases.
• Participant had major surgery or definitive ablation-intent (excluding palliative radiotherapy for bone metastasis) radiation therapy within the past 28 days.
• Participant has any active disease or condition that would not permit compliance with the protocol.
• Participant has clinically significant cardiovascular disease (e.g., uncontrolled hypertension, unstable angina, congestive heart failure, New York Heart Association Grade 2 or greater), or uncontrolled serious cardiac arrhythmia.
• Participant has documented cerebrovascular disease.
• Participant has a seizure disorder not controlled with medication (based on Investigator's decision).
• Participant has received an investigational agent within 28 days of enrollment.
• Participant has an uncontrolled active viral, bacterial, or systemic fungal infection.
• Participants with positive hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) or positive hepatitis C virus antibody (anti-HCV) and detectable hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA ≥2000 copies/mL or hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA above the institutional lower limit of quantification are excluded. Participants with resolved HBV infection (negative HBsAg and positive hepatitis B core antibody \[anti-HBc\]) are eligible if HBV DNA is \<2000 copies/mL. Participants with positive anti-HCV antibody must have completed curative antiviral therapy and have undetectable HCV RNA by PCR to be eligible.
• Has positive human immunodeficiency virus antibody.
• Participant has received yellow fever vaccine or other live attenuated vaccine(s) within the 4 weeks before Screening.
• Participant has a history of drug or alcohol abuse within the year before signing the informed consent form.
• Participant has any other serious medical condition that, in the Investigator's medical opinion, would preclude safe participation in or compliance with the clinical trial.
