Summary

This phase II trial tests whether giving zanidatamab before surgery can shrink tumors in people with HER2+ colorectal cancer. About 38 participants will receive the drug intravenously, then undergo surgery. The study measures how much the tumor regresses and whether cancer returns.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

Zanidatamab (a monoclonal antibody given intravenously)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a new treatment option for HER2+ colorectal cancer, potentially shrinking tumors before surgery and reducing recurrence risk.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase trial with only 38 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Zanidatamab may cause side effects or fail to improve outcomes.
