Patient case: 70-year-old female with breast cancer; genetic feature: AURKA amplification

Clinical trial: Trastuzumab in HER2-positive Biliary Tract Cancer

Summary: Trastuzumab is approved for the treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer and gastric cancer. The recent study showed that HER2 overexpression or amplification is noted about 5-15% of total biliary tract cancer patients. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of trastuzumab in the combination of current standard gemcitabine plus cisplatin.
