NCT ID NCT06210490

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This phase 2 trial is testing whether a targeted drug called disitamab vedotin, given together with radiation therapy, can prevent cancer recurrence in people with HER2-positive upper tract urothelial cancer who are at high risk after surgery. About 60 participants will either receive the combination treatment or be closely watched. The study will track how long they remain cancer-free and monitor side effects.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Disitamab vedotin (a targeted antibody-drug conjugate) and radiotherapy

What this could lead to

If successful, this combination could offer a new option to reduce the chance of cancer returning after surgery for patients with HER2-positive upper tract urothelial cancer.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase study with only 60 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The drug can cause side effects like nerve damage or low blood counts, and it is not yet proven to improve survival.
