Full Title
A Single Arm, Open Label Phase 2 Study of Tucatinib in Combination with Trastuzumab Deruxtecan in Subjects with Previously Treated Unresectable Locally-Advanced or Metastatic HER2+ Breast CancerPurpose
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of combining the drugs tucatinib and trastuzumab deruxtecan (also called T-DXd) in people with inoperable or metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer. Both drugs on their own are standard treatments for this type of breast cancer. In addition, both drugs target cancer cells that make HER2, and this targeting action may slow or stop the growth of cancer.
Researchers think that tucatinib and T-DXd may be more effective when given in combination than on their own. Tucatinib is taken orally (by mouth) and T-DXd is given intravenously (by vein).
