Lenvatinib Plus PD-1 Inhibitors as First-Line Treatment in Patients With Unresectable Biliary Tract Cancer: A Single-Arm, Open-Label, Phase II Study

ObjectiveWe investigated lenvatinib plus programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) inhibitors as a first-line treatment for initially unresectable biliary tract cancer (BTC).MethodsIn this Phase II study, adults with initially unresectable BTC received lenvatinib (body weight ≥60 kg, 12 mg; <60 kg, 8 mg...
