Summary
This clinical trial is studying solid tumour cancers. A solid tumour cancer is one that starts in part of your body like your lungs or liver instead of your blood. Once they've grown bigger in one spot or spread to other parts of the body, they're harder to treat. This is called advanced or metastatic cancer.
Who's it for?
Participants in this study must have breast cancer or gastric cancer. Participants must have tumours that have HER2 on them. This allows the cancer to grow more quickly or spread faster. There are few treatment options for people with advanced or metastatic solid tumours that express HER2.
This clinical trial uses an experimental drug called disitamab vedotin (DV). DV is a type of antibody-drug conjucate, which work by sticking to cancer cells and delivering targeted treatment.
In this study, a drug called tucatinib is also used. Tucatinib has been approved to treat cancer in the USA and some other countries, and is sold under the brand name TUKYSA.
The study will test how safe and how well DV with tucatinib works for people with solid tumours, as well as see what side effects happen when people take these drugs.
How does the study work?
The study has a dose escalation phase that will evaluate DV plus tucatinib to identify 2 dose levels for further testing.
After that, there is a dose optimisation phase, where those dose levels will be assessed for safety and effectiveness in people with HER2-expressing locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer, stomach cancer, or cancer of the gastro-oesophageal junction.
Following this, there will be an expansion phase with 4 expansion cohorts.
