New treatment option for Gastric Cancer

Official title Neratinib and Fam-Trastuzumab Deruxtecan in Advanced Gastro-esophageal Cancer Patients

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05274048

What this study is testing

What is Neratinib Pill?

Neratinib Pill is an investigational medicine, given as an once-daily infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for gastric cancer.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
This is Phase 1 dose finding trial with potential dose expansion to evaluate the safety, toxicity, recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D), and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of Neratinib plus TDxD using a standard 3+3 dose escalation design in patients with metastatic or unresectable gastro-esophageal cancer that are HER2-overexpressing (IHC 3+ or IHC2+/ISH+) and any other gastrointestinal cancer with HER2 expression with IHC3+. Patients must have progressed or been intolerant of at least one prior line of chemotherapy + HER2 directed therapy.
  • Phase 1: an early, usually small safety study
