Key information

About this study

The study will evaluate safety and efficacy in patients with:

  • Biliary tract carcinomas patients who have progressed on one prior line of gemcitabine and platinum-based chemotherapy in the metastatic setting.
  • Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients who have progressed on one prior line of platinum-based chemotherapy in the metastatic setting.

The trial is set up as 3 sub-studies.

  • Sub-study 1 includes biliary tract carcinoma patients and is composed of 2 investigational combination treatment arms (Sym021+Sym022 [Arm A] and Sym021+Sym023 [Arm B]).
  • Sub-study 2, includes biliary tract carcinoma patients and is composed of one investigational combination treatment arm:Sym021+Sym023+irinotecan. A safety lead- in phase is included to assess tolerability of the combination. A Study Safety Team will review clinical and laboratory safety data and will make decisions regarding the continued enrollment after the safety lead-in phase.
  • Sub-Study 3, includes esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients and is composed of one investigational combination treatment arm: Sym021+Sym023+irinotecan. Dose of irinotecan in this arm will be selected based upon the safety lead in in sub-study 2 period.

August 2021 : Based upon results from a recent per protocol Interim Analysis (IA) it is has been decided as of 3rd of August 2021 to stop further enrollment into Sub-study 1 Arm A (Sym021+Sym022). Future patients will be allocated to either Sub-study 1 Arm B (Sym021+Sym023) or Sub-study 2 (Sym021+Sym023+irinotecan).
