2. Are participants with histologically or cytologically confirmed locally advanced or metastatic BTC.
3. Availability of tumor (primary or metastatic) archival material or fresh biopsies (collected within 28 days before first administration of study intervention) is mandatory. Fine needle aspirates, transductal aspirates, or cell blocks are not acceptable. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiography or intraductal ultrasounds assisted biopsy is acceptable, needle or excisional biopsies, or resected tissue, are preferable. Tumor biopsies and tumor archival material must be suitable for biomarker assessment as described in the Laboratory Manual.
4. Participants with BTC must have failed or be intolerant to 1L systemic platinum-based chemotherapy. Participants who received adjuvant platinum-based chemotherapy and had evidence of disease recurrence within 6 months of completion of the adjuvant treatment are also eligible. If recurrence occurs during or within 6 months after the adjuvant chemotherapy, adjuvant platinum-based chemotherapy is counted as 1L chemotherapy.
5. Disease must be measurable with at least 1 unidimensionally measurable lesion by RECIST 1.1 and verified independently by an Independent Review Committee (IRC).

Adequate hepatic function defined by a total bilirubin level ≤ 1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN), an aspartate aminotransferase (AST) level ≤ 2.5 × ULN, and an alanine aminotransferase (ALT) level ≤ 2.5 × ULN. For participants with liver involvement in their tumor, AST ≤ 5.0 × ULN and ALT ≤ 5.0 × ULN is acceptable.
11. Adequate coagulation function defined as prothrombin time (PT) or international normalized ratio (INR) ≤ 1.5 × ULN unless the participant is receiving anticoagulant therapy.

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) positive participants must be treated and on a stable dose of antivirals (e.g., entecavir, tenofovir, or lamivudine; adefovir or interferon are not allowed) at study entry and with planned monitoring and management including baseline HBV DNA quantity according to appropriate labeling guidance. Participants receiving active hepatitis C virus (HCV) therapy must be on a stable dose at study entry and with planned monitoring and management according to appropriate labeling guidance of an approved antiviral.
14. Adequate renal function defined by either creatinine ≤ 1.5 × ULN or an estimated creatinine clearance (CCr) > 40 mL/min according to the Cockcroft-Gault formula or by measure of CCr from 24-hour urine collection.
• CCr (mL/min) = (140 age) × weight (kg)/(72 × serum Cr jaffe)
• If female, × 0.85
• If Cr is measured by enzymatic method, add 0.2 and use as Crjaffe = 0.2 + Crenzume.
15. Male participants are eligible to participate if they agree to the appropriate contraception requirements, as described in the protocol, during the intervention period and for at least 4 months after the last dose of study intervention.
