Overview

Researchers want to learn if sacituzumab tirumotecan (MK-2870) alone or with other treatments can treat certain gastrointestinal (GI) cancers. The GI cancers being studied are either advanced (the cancer has spread to other parts of the body), or unresectable (the cancer cannot be removed with surgery). The goals of this study are to learn:

  • About the safety of sacituzumab tirumotecan alone or with other treatments and if people tolerate it
  • How many people have the cancer respond (get smaller or go away) to treatment

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

The main inclusion criteria include but are not limited to the following:

  • Has one of the following cancers:

    • Advanced or metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and has received prior therapy for the cancer
    • Advanced and/or unresectable biliary tract cancer (BTC) and has received prior therapy for the cancer
    • Advanced and/or unresectable BTC and has not received prior therapy for the cancer
  • For participants who have received prior therapy for cancer: Has recovered from any

    side effects due to previous cancer treatment

Exclusion Criteria:

The main exclusion criteria include but are not limited to the following:

  • History of severe eye disease
  • For participants who have received prior therapy for cancer: Received prior systemic anticancer therapy including investigational agents within 4 weeks before starting study intervention
  • History of (noninfectious) pneumonitis/interstitial lung disease that required steroids or has current pneumonitis/interstitial lung disease
