2.Locally advanced or metastatic BTC and not eligible for curative resection, transplantation, or ablative therapies.
3.Received at least 1 prior regimen of systemic therapy for advanced disease, including 1 gemcitabine containing regimen, and experienced disease progression after or developed intolerance to the most recent prior therapy. For subjects who have received prior adjuvant or neoadjuvant treatment, if progression has occurred <6 months from completion of the adjuvant or neoadjuvant therapy, this regimen will be considered as 1 prior line of therapy for advanced disease.
4.Subjects must have at least 1 measurable target lesion by RECIST 1.1. Subjects who have received prior local therapy (embolization, chemoembolization, radiofrequency ablation, or radiation therapy) are eligible provided measurable disease falls outside of the treatment field or is within the treatment field and has shown ≥20% growth in size since post-treatment assessments.
5.Subjects must test positive for HER2 amplification by in situ hybridization (ISH) assay at a central laboratory on a new biopsy or archival tissue. Note that fine needle aspirates (FNAs; cytology samples) and biopsies from sites of bone metastases are not acceptable. Testing may occur at any time after diagnosis of advanced or metastatic disease and before study enrollment.
6.Male or female, ≥18 years of age (or the legal age of adulthood per country-specific regulations).
7.Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) ≤1.
8.Adequate hematologic function, defined as absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1.5 x 109/L, platelet count ≥75 x 109/L (not requiring transfusion support), and hemoglobin (Hgb) ≥9 g/dL (subjects with chronic anemia that is supported by intermittent red blood cell [RBC] transfusions are eligible).
9.Liver function: serum bilirubin ≤1.5 x the upper limit of normal (ULN) or ≤3 x ULN for subjects with Gilbert’s disease, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤3 x ULN, and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤3 x ULN. For subjects with liver involvement, AST and ALT ≤5.0 x ULN is acceptable.

12.Females of childbearing potential must have a negative serum or urine beta human chorionic gonadotropin (β hCG) pregnancy test result within 3 days prior to the first dose of ZW25. Females with false positive urine test results can be enrolled if subsequent serum testing is negative .
13.For female subjects who are not surgically sterile or post-menopausal and for male subjects with a partner of child-bearing potential, willingness for the couple to use 2 methods of birth control with a failure rate of less than 1% per year during the study and for 12 months after the last dose of ZW25. These include, but are not limited to, established use of oral, implanted, or injected hormonal contraceptives or placement of intra-uterine device or intra-uterine system
14.Male subjects must agree to not donate sperm and female subjects must agree to not donate oocytes starting at screening and throughout the study period, and for at least 12 months after the last dose of ZW25
15.The subject or subject’s legally acceptable representative must provide written informed consent. Subjects who elect to be pre-screened for HER2 status must provide a separate written informed consent for collection, storage, and analysis of the tumor tissue.
