NCT ID NCT05800275
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a combination of two oral chemotherapy drugs (tucatinib and capecitabine) plus a targeted antibody given directly into the spinal fluid (trastuzumab) for people with HER2-positive breast cancer that has spread to the lining of the brain and spinal cord (leptomeningeal metastases). The goal is to see if this treatment improves survival at 12 months. About 30 adults with this condition will participate.
