Overview

This combination therapy consists of disitamab vedotin (RC48), a HER2-directed antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), and cadonilimab (AK104), a bispecific antibody targeting PD-1 and CTLA-4. Disitamab vedotin is composed of a humanized anti-HER2 antibody conjugated to the cytotoxic microtubule inhibitor monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE) via a protease-cleavable valine-citrulline linker. Cadonilimab is a first-in-class bispecific antibody designed to simultaneously block the PD-1 and CTLA-4 immune checkpoints, thereby enhancing T-cell mediated anti-tumor activity. The combination is being evaluated as a second-line treatment for patients with HER2-mutant advanced or metastatic bile duct adenocarcinoma in a Phase II clinical trial led by Zhejiang Cancer Hospital. The rationale for this combination is to leverage the targeted cytotoxic effects of the ADC with the dual checkpoint inhibition of the bispecific antibody to overcome resistance and improve clinical outcomes in HER2-expressing biliary tract cancers.
