First seen Jan 31, 2026 · Last updated Apr 29, 2026 · Updated 9 times
Summary
This study is for people with a specific type of breast cancer (HER2-positive) that has spread to the lining of the brain and spinal cord. It tests whether adding a targeted drug combination (tucatinib, trastuzumab, and capecitabine) to radiation therapy can help control the disease and improve survival. About 30 participants will receive the treatment, and researchers will track how long they live and how long it takes for the cancer in the central nervous system to worsen.
