New combo therapy aims to outsmart resistant breast cancer
NCT ID NCT07007559
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This phase 2 trial is testing whether adding evorpacept to standard trastuzumab and chemotherapy can shrink tumors in people with metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer who have already tried the drug Enhertu. About 120 participants will receive the combination intravenously. The study 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
- evorpacept (ALX148) combined with trastuzumab (Herceptin) and chemotherapy (paclitaxel, capecitabine, eribulin, gemcitabine, or vinorelbine)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a new treatment option for people with HER2-positive breast cancer that has spread and stopped responding to current therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase trial (Phase 2) with no control group, so results may not prove the combination works better than existing treatments. Side effects from the drug combination are possible.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Histologically confirmed invasive HER2+ breast cancer based on an evaluable tumor tissue biopsy obtained after cessation of T-DXd (ENHERTU) treatment and no more than 6 months prior to C1D1. * Received no more than 4 prior lines of HER2-directed therapy including at least one prior line of T-DXd (ENHERTU) for locally advanced/metastatic HER2+ breast cancer. Prior neoadjuvant therapy which resulted in relapse within 6 months of completion of T-DXd will be considered a line of treatment for metastatic disease. Participants who discontinue T-DXd due to intolerance are considered eligible. * Progressed on or following the most recent line of therapy. * Eligible to receive one of the following chemotherapy options (capecitabine, eribulin, gemcitabine, paclitaxel or vinorelbine). * Measurable disease as defined by RECIST v1.1. * LVEF ≥50%. * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status (PS) must be 0 to 1. * Life expectancy of at least 3 months. * Adequate renal function (estimated creatinine clearance ≥30 mL/min as calculated using the Cockcroft-Gault equation or Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation. * Adequate liver function: * Total bilirubin ≤1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) (≤3.0 x ULN if the participant has documented Gilbert syndrome); * Aspartate and alanine transaminase (AST and ALT) ≤3 x ULN (≤5.0 x ULN if liver involved by metastatic disease). * Participants must have recovered from all AEs due to previous therapies, procedures, and surgeries to baseline severity or ≤Grade 1 per NCI CTCAE v5.0 except for AEs not deemed reversible and which do not constitute a safety risk by Investigator judgment. Exclusion Criteria: * Untreated CNS metastases. * Prior exposure to any anti-CD47 or anti-SIRPα agent. * Any condition that would be contraindicated to receiving trastuzumab * Has a diagnosis of complete dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) deficiency or significant toxicity with prior flurouracil (5FU) based regimen * Following anti-cancer therapy with insufficient washout before start of treatment: 1. chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, radiation therapy or small molecule anti-cancer therapy within 14 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter) of start of treatment. 2. Immune therapy or other biologic therapy (e.g., monoclonal antibodies, antibody-drug conjugates) for the treatment of cancer for: 28 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter) of start of treatment). * History of autoimmune hemolytic anemia, autoimmune thrombocytopenia, or hemolytic transfusion reaction. * Had an allogeneic tissue/solid organ transplant. * Any active, unstable cardiovascular disease. * Intolerance to or who have had a severe allergic or anaphylactic reaction to antibodies or infused therapeutic proteins or participants who have had a severe allergic or anaphylactic reaction to any of the substances included in the study drug (including excipients). * Has an active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in past 2 years. * Other primary malignancy within 2 years.
