Study Summary

This trial is testing a new cancer drug to see if it is safe and effective.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced solid tumors, particularly those with certain types of breast or stomach cancer that have HER2 overexpression and haven't responded to standard treatments. Participants should be relatively active (ECOG PS 0 or 1) and have a healthy heart function (LVEF ≥ 50%). Those with significant heart issues, arrhythmias, or lung diseases cannot join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing different doses of DS-8201a, an investigational drug for treating various advanced solid malignant tumors. It's an open-label study where all participants know they're receiving the drug; it aims to assess the safety and how well people can tolerate different doses.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed here, common ones associated with cancer drugs like DS-8201a may include nausea, fatigue, hair loss, increased risk of infection due to low blood cell counts, diarrhea, and potential heart problems.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Part 2 Dose expansionExperimental Treatment3 Interventions
Part 2 is a dose expansion to examine the safety and efficacy of DS-8201a and it is consist of multiple cohorts: in subjects with trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1)-treated HER2 overexpressing breast cancer (Part 2a); trastuzumab-treated HER2 overexpressing gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma (Part 2b); HER2 low expressing breast cancer (Part 2c), HER2 expressing other solid malignant tumor (Part 2d); HER2 expressing breast cancer (Japan only; Part 2e)
Group II: Part 1 Dose escalationExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Part 1 is a dose escalation to identify the Maximum Tolerated dose (MTD) or the recommended phase 2 dose of DS-8201a guided by the modified continuous reassessment method using a Bayesian logistic regression model following escalation with overdose control principal.
