Experimental drug duo targets Hard-to-Treat HER2 cancers
NCT ID NCT06157892
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jul 23, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study tests two drugs together—disitamab vedotin and tucatinib—in people with advanced breast or stomach cancers that have a protein called HER2. The goal is to see if the combination is safe and shrinks tumors. About 172 participants will take part.
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 and tucatinib
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this combination could offer a new treatment option for people with advanced HER2-positive breast or stomach cancers that have stopped responding to standard therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase trial (phase 1b/2) with a small number of participants, so the combination may prove unsafe or ineffective. Side effects from both drugs could be significant.
