Brazilian study maps HER2 in Women's cancers to guide future treatments
NCT ID NCT07101081
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Sep 04, 2026 · Updated 7 times
Summary
This study will test tumor samples from 350 adults with gynecological cancers (endometrial, ovarian, cervical, vulvar, and vaginal) to see how often they have high levels of the HER2 protein. Researchers will use two standard lab tests to measure HER2. The goal is to learn how common HER2-high cancers are in Brazil, which could help doctors decide who might benefit from HER2-targeted drugs in the future.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could help identify which patients with gynecological cancers might benefit from HER2-targeted therapies in the future.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It only measures HER2 levels and does not test any drug, so it cannot directly improve outcomes.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age \>= 18 years at sample collection; - Diagnosis of cervical, endometrial, ovarian/peritoneum/uterine tube, vulvar, or vaginal cancers; * Sufficient paraffin primary tumor tissue for biomarker testing in the OC Precision Medicine Pathology labs. * Date of diagnosis of gynecological cancer must be from January 2020 to March 2025. * Patients need to sign informed consent, or waiver of informed consent is granted. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients without sufficient paraffin tissue for the proposed biomarker testing. * Patients whose diagnosis was performed in metastatic lesion. * Patients with history of exposure to systemic anti-cancer therapies for the gynecological cancer diagnosis before surgery or excisional biopsy of gynecological cancer (information is available in the original histopathology request document stored in the LIMS).
