New oral drug targets Hard-to-Treat HER2 cancers
NCT ID NCT05593094
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 21, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early-stage trial tests an experimental oral drug called ZN-A-1041, alone or with other cancer drugs, in people with HER2-positive advanced solid tumors (including breast cancer that has spread to the brain). The study aims to find safe doses and check how the drug works in the body. About 210 participants will take part across multiple phases.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- ZN-A-1041 (an experimental oral drug) alone or combined with T-DM1, T-DXd, or other HER2-targeted therapies
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a new treatment option for people with HER2-positive advanced solid tumors, especially those with brain metastases.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase trial (Phase 1/2) focused on safety and dosing, so it is not yet proven to work. Side effects are unknown, and the drug may not show enough benefit to move forward.
This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
