Testing Trastuzumab and Pertuzumab in Patients With Higher Than Normal Copies of the HER2 Gene Found in Their Tumors (MATCH - Subprotocol J)
Study Purpose
This phase II MATCH treatment trial tests how well trastuzumab and pertuzumab work in treating patients with HER2-amplified non-breast, non-gastric/gastroesophageal junction, and non-colorectal cancers. Pertuzumab and trastuzumab are monoclonal antibodies and forms of targeted therapy that attach to a receptor protein called HER2. HER2 is found on some cancer cells. When pertuzumab or trastuzumab attach to HER2, the signals that tell the cells to grow are blocked and the tumor cell may be marked for destruction by the body's immune system. Trastuzumab is approved for the treatment of certain types of HER2-amplified cancers such as breast and gastric cancers. Research has shown that treatment with two anti-HER2 therapies in combination may be more effective at treating HER2-positive patients than giving one anti-HER2 therapy alone. Giving trastuzumab and pertuzumab in combination may be effective at treating patients with HER2-amplified cancers that aren't breast, gastric, or colorectal.

Study Type
An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes. An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes. Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies. |

Trial Details
Trial ID:
This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries. |
NCT06136897 |
Phase
Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans. Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data. Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs. Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use. |
