“This conditional approval represents significant progress for the patients we serve who have been diagnosed with advanced HER2-positive BTC,” said Robert Iannone, MD., M.S.C.E., executive vice president, global head of research and development, and chief medical officer of Jazz Pharmaceuticals. “Ziihera is the first HER2-targeted therapy authorized in the European Union specifically for this population, and the European Commission’s decision reflects both the strength of the HERIZON-BTC-01 data and the urgency for innovation in rare gastrointestinal cancers. This milestone reinforces our commitment to advancing biomarker-driven therapies that address serious unmet needs and improve patient outcomes. We are actively recruiting for our global Phase 3 trial in first-line HER2-positive BTC and continue to explore zanidatamab’s potential in other HER2-expressing tumors.”
