In a Phase 3 trial including 268 patients with advanced biliary tract cancers, response rates were improved in patients receiving erlotinib with chemotherapy (gemcitabine/oxaliplatin) compared to chemotherapy alone. However, progression-free survival was not enhanced except for the subset with cholangiocarcinoma.
