New treatment option for Gastric Cancer
Official title Study of TDXd, Chemotherapy, Pembrolizumab, and Trastuzumab in First-Line Metastatic HER2-Positive Gastric or Gastroesophageal Junction Cancer
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06731478
What this study is testing
What is Trastuzumab Deruxtecan?
Trastuzumab Deruxtecan is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for gastric cancer.
Also referred to as T-DXd, ENHERTU®.
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 clinical trial is designed to assess the efficacy and safety of the triplet combination of trastuzumab deruxtecan (ENHERTU, T-DXd, DS-8201a) plus a fluoropyrimidine plus pembrolizumab versus standard of care (SoC) chemotherapy plus trastuzumab plus pembrolizumab as first-line therapy in participants with unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic HER2-positive tumor PD-L1 CPS ≥1 gastric or GEJ cancer in the Main Cohort. An Exploratory Cohort will also be evaluated to assess the efficacy and safety of T-DXd plus a fluoropyrimidine versus SoC chemotherapy plus trastuzumab in participants with unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic HER2-positive tumor PD-L1 CPS \<1 gastric or GEJ cancer.
