Beamion LUNG-1: A Study to Test Different Doses of Zongertinib in People With Different Types of Advanced Cancer (Solid Tumours With Changes in the HER2 Gene)

ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a medication called zongertinib to see how well it works for adults with advanced cancer that has specific changes in the HER2 gene, which is often found in solid tumors like non-small cell lung cancer. The trial has two parts: the first part aims to find the highest dose of zongertinib that patients can safely take, while the second part will test this dose to see if it helps reduce the size of tumors. Participants will take zongertinib in pill form once or twice a day, and they will be monitored closely by doctors for any side effects and to check how their cancer is responding to the treatment.

To be eligible for this trial, participants must have a confirmed diagnosis of advanced cancer that is not easily treated, have measurable tumors, and be willing to provide a sample of their tumor for testing. Additionally, they should be at least 18 years old and in reasonably good health. Throughout the study, participants can expect regular health check-ups and updates on their treatment progress. It's important to note that this study is currently recruiting participants, and those interested should discuss it with their healthcare team.
