The Competitive Landscape Behind the FDA-approved New Treatment for Biliary Tract Cancer, Keytruda

6 November 2023
3 min read

On November 1st, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted approval to the antineoplastic monoclonal antibody drug Keytruda, produced by Merck, for use combined with chemotherapy in treating locally advanced unresectable or metastatic biliary tract cancer. Trial results showed significant improvement in patients' overall survival rates. This marks the anti-cancer drug Keytruda’s sixth indication in the area of gastrointestinal cancer.

Biliary tract cancer is a rare but highly malignant disease, with most patients losing their surgical opportunity by the time of diagnosis. Treatment options are very limited, hence, when the disease progresses, there is an urgent need for new therapy options. The trial results showing significant improvement in patients' overall survival time is indeed a major breakthrough, offering new hope for patients who have lost their surgical opportunity or whose disease has reached an advanced stage.
