New drug shows promise for rare HER2-Mutated cancers
NCT ID NCT04639219
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This phase II trial tests a drug called trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) in 102 adults with advanced solid tumors that have specific HER2 mutations. The cancers include types like colorectal, gastric, and ovarian, among others. The goal is to see if the drug can shrink tumors or slow their growth. Participants must have already tried other treatments or have no good options left.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a new treatment option for people with hard-to-treat cancers that have specific HER2 mutations, regardless of where the cancer started.
- What could go wrong
- This is a mid-stage trial with only 102 participants and no comparison group. The drug may not work for all mutation types, and side effects like lung inflammation or heart problems are possible.

Inclusion Criteria: * Adults ≥18 years old. Other age restrictions may apply as per local regulations. * Unresectable and/or metastatic solid tumors with pre-specified HER2 mutations (S310F, S310Y, G660D, R678Q, D769Y, D769H, V777L, Y772\_A775dup / A775\_G776insYVMA, L755S, G778\_P780dup / P780\_Y781insGSP, T862A, and V842I locally determined by NGS or a validated nucleic acid-based methodology (eg, qPCR, digital PCR) on tumor tissue, who have progressed following prior treatment or who have no satisfactory alternative treatment options. * Prior HER2 targeted therapy is permitted. * All patients must provide an FFPE tumor sample for retrospective central HER2 testing. * LVEF ≥50% * ECOG 0-1 * All patients have measurable target disease assessed by the Investigator based on RECIST v1.1 Exclusion Criteria: * HER2 overexpressing (IHC3+ or IHC2+/ISH+) breast, gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma. * HER2 mutant NSCLC. * Medical history of myocardial infarction within 6 months before randomization/enrolment, symptomatic CHF, unstable angina pectoris, clinically important cardiac arrhythmias, or a recent (\< 6 months) cardiovascular event including stroke. * History of non-infectious pneumonitis/ILD, current ILD, or where suspected ILD cannot be ruled out by imaging at screening * Corrected QT interval by Fridericia's formula (QTcF) prolongation to \> 470 msec (females) or \> 450 msec (males) based on average of the screening triplicate 12-lead ECG. * Lung-specific intercurrent clinically significant severe illnesses. * History of active primary immunodeficiency, known HIV, active HBV or HCV infection * Uncontrolled infection requiring intravenous (IV) antibiotics, antivirals, or antifungals * Pleural effusion, ascites or pericardial effusion that requires drainage, peritoneal shunt, or Cell-free and Concentrated Ascites Reinfusion Therapy (CART). * Has spinal cord compression or clinically active central nervous system metastases.
