Drug: QL1706 5mg/kg, iv drip,d1,Q3W; Albumin-Bound Paclitaxel 125mg/m2, iv drip, d1、d8, Q3W; Lenvatinib 8mg, po, QD is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for second-line therapy for unresectable or metastatic biliary tract cancer.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
Biliary tract carcinoma (BTC) is a highly aggressive malignancy with rising incidence worldwide. Most patients present at an advanced stage and have a dismal prognosis.
