NCT ID NCT05458674

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This Phase 2 trial is testing whether a combination of three drugs—tucatinib, eribulin, and trastuzumab—is safe and effective for people with advanced HER2+ breast cancer that has not responded to prior treatments. The study will enroll 30 participants and measure tumor shrinkage, side effects, and how long the cancer stays under control. It is currently recruiting.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

tucatinib (TUKYSA), eribulin (HALAVEN), and trastuzumab (HERCEPTIN)

What this could lead to

If successful, this three-drug combination could offer a new treatment option for people with advanced HER2+ breast cancer who have already tried other therapies.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase (Phase 2) trial with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The combination may cause significant side effects, and it is not a cure.
