Testing Ado-Trastuzumab Emtansine as a Potential Targeted Treatment in Cancers With HER2 Genetic Changes (MATCH-Subprotocol Q) (NCT04439110)
MATCH Treatment Subprotocol Q: Ado-trastuzumab Emtansine in Patients With Tumors With HER2 Amplification (Except Breast and Gastric/Gastro-Esophageal Junction (GEJ) Adenocarcinomas)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This phase II MATCH treatment trial identifies the effects of ado-trastuzumab emtansine in patients whose cancer has a genetic change called HER2 amplification. Ado-trastuzumab emtansine is a monoclonal antibody, called trastuzumab, linked to a chemotherapy drug called DM1. Trastuzumab is a form of "targeted therapy", because it works by attaching itself to specific molecules (receptors) on the surface of cancer cells, known as HER2 receptors and delivers DM1 to kill them. Researchers hope to learn if the study drug will shrink this type of cancer or stop its growth.
