Phase 1
2022-06-20
This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of neratinib in combination
with trastuzumab deruxtecan in treating patients with solid tumors that have spread to other
parts of the body (metastatic) or that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable), and have
changes in a gene called human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). Neratinib is in a
class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of an abnormal
protein that signals tumor cells to multiply. This helps slow or stop the spread of tumor
cells. Trastuzumab deruxtecan is in a class of medications called antibody-drug conjugates.
It is composed of a monoclonal antibody, called trastuzumab, linked to a chemotherapy drug,
called deruxtecan. Trastuzumab attaches to HER2 positive tumor cells in a targeted way and
delivers deruxtecan to kill them. Adding neratinib to trastuzumab deruxtecan may be able to
shrink cancer with a change in the HER2 gene.
