HER2 positive breast carcinoma

This phase 2 trial tests whether a 12-week course of docetaxel plus trastuzumab after surgery can keep small (≤1 cm), node-negative HER2-positive breast cancer from returning. Women who have completed radical surgery for this type of cancer receive the two drugs every three weeks…

This phase 2 trial aimed to see if trastuzumab deruxtecan (Enhertu) could help people with HER2-positive breast cancer that had spread and did not respond to standard first-line therapy. Only 2 participants were enrolled before the study was terminated early, so the results are v…

This phase 3 study tested a biosimilar called PERT-IJS against the original drug Perjeta, both given with standard chemotherapy, in women with early or locally advanced HER2-positive breast cancer. The goal was to see if the biosimilar works just as well at eliminating cancer bef…

This early-phase trial tested a combination of targeted drugs (neratinib, pertuzumab, trastuzumab) and chemotherapy (paclitaxel, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide) in 34 people with advanced or inflammatory breast cancer. The goal was to find the best dose and see if the combo could …

This study looked at whether women with a certain type of early-stage breast cancer (HER2-positive, low-risk) could avoid surgery if their tumors completely disappeared after standard drug treatment. Only 5 women enrolled before the study was stopped. The goal was to see if a spe…

This early-stage trial aimed to see if combining three drugs (tucatinib, trastuzumab, and capecitabine) with precise radiation (SRS) is safe for people with HER2-positive breast cancer that has spread to the brain. Only one person enrolled before the study was terminated, so we h…

This study tested a combination of three drugs—tucatinib, trastuzumab, and vinorelbine—in 13 people with HER2-positive breast cancer that had spread or could not be surgically removed. The goal was to see how many patients' tumors shrank or disappeared. The trial was terminated e…

This study tested a new drug called BDC-1001, given alone or with another drug (pertuzumab), in people with advanced HER2-positive breast cancer that had already been treated with multiple therapies, including trastuzumab deruxtecan. The goal was to see if the drug could shrink t…

This early-stage trial tested a new drug called TAS2940 in 29 people with advanced solid tumors (like lung, breast, or brain cancer) that had specific genetic changes (EGFR or HER2). The goal was to find a safe dose and see if the drug could shrink tumors. The study was stopped e…

This study looked at adding a drug called copanlisib to standard targeted therapy (trastuzumab and pertuzumab) for people with HER2-positive breast cancer that had spread and had specific gene changes (PIK3CA or PTEN). The goal was to see if the combination was safe and could hel…

This early-phase trial tested whether adding donor natural killer (NK) cells to the standard antibody drugs trastuzumab and pertuzumab could help people with advanced HER2-positive breast cancer that had stopped responding to other treatments. Only 2 participants were enrolled be…

This early-stage trial tested a new drug called BDC-1001, alone or with the immunotherapy nivolumab, in 175 people with advanced HER2-positive cancers (like breast, colorectal, and stomach cancers) that had stopped responding to other treatments. The study aimed to check safety a…

This phase II trial tested a combination of two drugs, ASLAN001 and capecitabine, in patients with HER2-positive breast cancer that had spread to the brain and continued to grow despite radiation. The study aimed to see if the treatment could shrink brain tumors. However, the tri…

This early-phase trial tested a radioactive imaging agent called 68GaNOTA-Anti-MMR-VHH2 to see if it could safely highlight tumors on PET scans. It involved 13 adults with advanced solid tumors, breast cancer, or melanoma. The study was terminated early, so we have limited inform…

This study tested a special radioactive tracer (68GaNOTA-Anti-HER2 VHH1) to see if it can find HER2-positive brain metastases on PET/CT scans. Seven adult cancer patients with at least one brain lesion were enrolled. The goal was to compare tracer uptake in HER2-positive versus H…
