A Study of HER3-DXd in Subjects With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors

Launched by DAIICHI SANKYO · Dec 7, 2023

ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new treatment called HER3-DXd for patients with advanced solid tumors, which are cancers that have spread and cannot be treated with surgery or radiation. The trial is looking for participants with specific types of cancers, including melanoma, head and neck cancer, gastric cancer, ovarian cancer, cervical cancer, and several others. To be eligible, participants need to be at least 18 years old and have already tried other treatments without success. They will also need to provide a sample of their tumor tissue for testing.

If you join this trial, you'll receive HER3-DXd as your treatment. The study will track how well this medication works and how safe it is for people with these types of cancer. All participants will be monitored closely throughout the trial, and they will receive support to help manage any side effects. It's important to know that this is a research study, so while the aim is to find effective new treatments, there are no guarantees about the results.

• • Cervical Cancer
• • 9. Pathologically or cytologically documented recurrent or persistent squamous, adenosquamous, or adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix.
• • 10. Disease progression after having received ≥1 line of systemic therapy in the recurrent or metastatic setting. This may include prior anti-PD-(L)1 treatment and/or tissue factor directed ADC (tisotumab vedotin \[TV\]) per regional standard of care.

• • 12. Documented disease progression after having received ≥1 prior line of therapy (maximum of 3) PBC containing systemic treatment and an anti-PD(L)-1 therapy-containing regimen (combined or sequential) in the advanced/metastatic setting.
• • Bladder Cancer
• • 13. Pathologically or cytologically documented locally advanced/unresectable or metastatic urothelial carcinoma of the bladder, renal pelvis, ureter, or urethra. Histological variants are allowed if urothelial histology is predominant. Small cell/neuroendocrine tumors are not allowed even if mixed histology.
• • 14. Relapsed or progressed after treatment with ≥1 prior line of therapy (maximum of 3) that contains anti-PD-(L)1 therapy in the perioperative or metastatic setting. At least 1 line of therapy must also contain one of the following treatment modalities: chemotherapy or enfortumab vedotin. Prior fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR)-inhibitor treatment for those who are eligible are allowed.
• • Required treatments can be given in combination or sequentially
• • Prior cisplatin-based therapy or PD-(L)1 inhibitor therapy given for the treatment of muscle invasive urothelial carcinoma is counted as 1 line of therapy
