- Incidence of lab abnormalities (Part 1) [ Time Frame: Up to 11 months ]Number of participants who experienced a maximum severity of Grade 3 or higher post-baseline laboratory abnormality, including either hematology and chemistry. Grades are defined using National Cancer Institute's Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), version 5.0.

- Objective response rate (ORR) (Part 1) [ Time Frame: Up to 10 months ]Number of participants who achieved a best response of either CR or PR during treatment per RECIST 1.1
- Disease control rate (Parts 1 and 2) [ Time Frame: Up to 10 months ]Number of participants who achieved a best response of CR, PR, or stable disease (SD) during treatment per RECIST 1.1
- Duration of response (Parts 1 and 2) [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years ]Median duration of response (in months) and range (minimum, maximum)
- Clinical benefit rate (Parts 1 and 2) [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years ]Number of participants with SD for ≥ 24 weeks or a confirmed, best overall response of CR or PR per RECIST 1.1
- Progression-free survival (Parts 1 and 2) [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years ]Median progression-free survival (in months) and range (minimum, maximum)
- Overall survival (Parts 1 and 2) [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years ]Median overall survival (in months) and range (minimum, maximum)
- Incidence of anti-drug antibodies (ADAs) (Parts 1 and 2) [ Time Frame: Up to 11 months ]Number of participants who develop ADAs
- End of infusion concentration of ZW25 (Parts 1 and 2) [ Time Frame: Up to 11 months ]
- Maximum serum concentration of ZW25 (Parts 1 and 2) [ Time Frame: Up to 11 months ]
- Trough concentration of ZW25 (Parts 1 and 2) [ Time Frame: Up to 11 months ]
- Incidence of adverse events (Part 2) [ Time Frame: Up to 11 months ]Number of participants who experienced an adverse event
- Incidence of lab abnormalities (Part 2) [ Time Frame: Up to 11 months ]Number of participants who experienced a maximum severity of Grade 3 or higher post-baseline laboratory abnormality, including either hematology and chemistry. Grades are defined using National Cancer Institute's CTCAE, version 5.0.

Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion:
-
Disease diagnosis:
- Part 1:
- GEA: Unresectable, locally advanced, recurrent or metastatic HER2-expressing GEA (IHC 3+ or 2+ with or without gene amplification based upon local assessment or central assessment)
- BTC: Unresectable, locally advanced, recurrent or metastatic HER2-expressing BTC (including intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma [ICC], extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma [ECC], or gallbladder cancer [GBC]) (IHC 3+ with or without gene amplification; or IHC 0, 1+ or 2+ with gene amplification, based upon central assessment)
- CRC: Unresectable, locally advanced, recurrent or metastatic HER2-expressing CRC (IHC 3+ with or without gene amplification; or IHC 0, 1+ or 2+ with gene amplification, based upon central assessment). Patients will be required to be extended RAS (KRAS and NRAS) and BRAF wild-type based upon central assessment.
- Part 2:
- GEA: Unresectable, locally advanced, recurrent or metastatic HER2-expressing GEA (IHC 3+, or IHC 2+ and FISH+ by central assessment)
- BTC: Same as Part 1
- CRC: Same as Part 1
-
Tumor measurements as per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1:
- Part 1: Measurable or non-measurable disease
- Part 2: Measurable disease
- An Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status score of 0 or 1
- Adequate organ function
- Adequate cardiac left ventricular function, as defined by a LVEF >/= institutional standard of normal
Exclusion:
- Prior treatment with a HER2-targeted agent
-
Prior systemic anti-cancer therapy (including investigational products) except prior adjuvant/neoadjuvant therapy, which must be completed at least 6 months prior to first study treatment dosing. For subjects with BTC and CRC the following additional exceptions apply:
- BTC: patients may have started therapy for advanced disease but may not have received more than one cycle of any standard gemcitabine-based chemotherapy regimen.
- CRC: patients may have started therapy for advanced disease but may not have received more than one cycle of 5-FU-based chemotherapy (< 1 month of therapy).
- Patients with certain contraindications to bevacizumab cannot be enrolled on the mFOLFOX6-2 with bevacizumab arm.
- Palliative radiotherapy is allowed if completed at least 2 weeks prior to first study treatment dosing
- Untreated known brain metastases (patients with treated brain metastases who are off steroids, off antiseizure medications, and stable for at least 1 month at the time of screening are eligible)
- Clinically significant cardiac disease, such as ventricular arrhythmia requiring therapy, uncontrolled hypertension or any history of symptomatic congestive heart failure (CHF). Patients with known myocardial infarction or unstable angina within 6 months prior to randomization are also excluded.
- QTc Fridericia (QTcF) > 470 ms. For patients with longer QTcF on initial electrocardiogram (ECG), follow-up ECG may be performed in triplicate to determine eligibility
- Peripheral neuropathy > Grade 1 per NCI-CTCAE v5.0
- Clinically significant interstitial lung disease
- Prior or concurrent malignancy whose natural history or treatment has the potential to interfere with the safety or efficacy assessment of the investigational regimen
- Active hepatitis B or hepatitis C infection or infection with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)-1 or HIV-2 (Exception: patients with well controlled HIV [e.g., CD4 > 350/mm3 and undetectable viral load] are eligible)
