In today’s episode, supported by Jazz Pharmaceuticals, we had the pleasure of speaking with James J. Harding, MD, director of Early Drug Development at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, about the FDA approval of zanidatamab-hrii (Ziihera) for patients with HER2-positive metastatic biliary tract cancer.
In our exclusive interview, Dr Harding discussed the significance of this approval, marking the first HER2-targeted therapy specifically for biliary tract cancer. He highlighted findings from the pivotal HORIZON BTC-01 trial (NCT04466891), explored how zanidatamab fits into the treatment paradigm, and addressed the role of HER2 profiling in guiding patient selection. Dr Harding also detailed ongoing research into zanidatamab in earlier treatment settings and emphasized its potential to transform care for patients with this challenging disease.
