Experimental HER2 drug trial halted early – what it means
NCT ID NCT05013554
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This early-stage trial tested an experimental drug called SAR443216 in 44 adults with advanced HER2-expressing solid tumors (such as breast, lung, or gastric cancer) that had come back or stopped responding to standard treatments. The study aimed to find a safe dose and check for early signs of tumor shrinkage. However, the trial was terminated, so full results are not available.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- SAR443216 (an experimental drug given by IV or injection)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could point toward a new treatment option for people with HER2-expressing solid tumors that have stopped responding to other therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This was a very early (Phase 1) trial that was terminated, so results are limited. The drug may not prove effective or safe in larger studies.
