Testing the Combination of Two Anti-cancer Drugs, DS-8201a and AZD6738, for The Treatment of Advanced Solid Tumors Expressing the HER2 Protein or Gene, The DASH Trial

Phase 1/1B Study of DS-8201a in Combination With ATR Inhibition (AZD6738) in Advanced Solid Tumors With HER2 Expression (DASH Trial)

Conditions

Summary

The dose escalation phase of this trial identifies the safety, side effects and best dose of ceralasertib (AZD6738) when given in combination with trastuzumab deruxtecan (DS-8201a) in treating patients with solid tumors that have a change (mutation) in the HER2 gene or protein and have spread to other places in the body (advanced). The dose expansion phase (phase Ib) of this trial compares how colorectal and gastroesophageal cancers with HER2 mutation respond to treatment with a combination of ceralasertib and trastuzumab deruxtecan versus trastuzumab deruxtecan alone. Ceralasertib may stop the growth of tumor cells and may kill them by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Trastuzumab deruxtecan is a monoclonal antibody, called trastuzumab, linked to a chemotherapy drug, called deruxtecan. Trastuzumab attaches to HER2 positive cancer cells in a targeted way and delivers deruxtecan to kill them. Ceralasertib and trastuzumab deruxtecan may be safe, tolerable and effective in treating patients with advanced solid tumors expressing the HER2 protein or gene.

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study (called the DASH trial) is testing the combination of two targeted drugs — DS-8201a (trastuzumab deruxtecan, a HER2-targeting antibody-drug conjugate) and AZD6738 (a DNA damage repair inhibitor) — in patients with advanced cancers that express the HER2 protein. It is testing safety and effectiveness in both a dose-finding phase and then in specific cancer types. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 18 or older - You have advanced/metastatic solid tumors (dose escalation phase), or specifically advanced gastroesophageal or colorectal cancer (dose expansion phase) - Your tumor expresses HER2 - You have adequate organ function **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have already received DS-8201a and progressed on it - You have serious lung disease (interstitial lung disease) - Your overall health is too poor to tolerate treatment - You are pregnant or breastfeeding Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
