DG-03 Trial Summary

This trial is investigating the safety and preliminary effectiveness of a new cancer drug, trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd), for treating HER2-positive gastric and esophageal cancers. The study will also look at whether T-DXd is more effective when given in combination with other cancer treatments.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced HER2-expressing stomach, GEJ, or esophageal cancer. Participants must have progressed after a trastuzumab regimen (Part 1) or be untreated for metastatic disease (Part 2), and have measurable disease. They need proper organ function and agree to contraception if of reproductive potential. Exclusions include active infections like HIV/HBV/HCV, uncontrolled illnesses, CNS metastases, lung issues like ILD/pneumonitis, and problematic fluid accumulation.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
DESTINY-Gastric03 tests the safety and effectiveness of T-DXd alone or combined with chemotherapy/immunotherapy in advanced gastric cancers expressing HER2. The study aims to find tolerable doses that show anti-tumor activity as a potential new treatment option for patients who haven't received prior therapy for their metastatic disease.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions related to immune system activation such as inflammation in various organs, infusion-related reactions from the drugs administered intravenously, fatigue due to treatment burden on the body's resources, digestive disturbances from chemotherapy agents affecting rapidly dividing cells including those lining the gut.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

In what geographies is the research endeavor being conducted?

"The trial is now recruiting from 8 different sites, such as Baltimore, Westwood and Houston. For the comfort of patients participating in the study, it's important to choose a nearby location to minimize travel requirements."

Answered by AI

Could I participate in this investigation given my current health status?

"This trial is recruiting 315 individuals between 18 and 130 years old with malignant neoplasm of the stomach. The prerequisites for entry are as follows: advanced, inoperable or disseminated adenocarcinoma of the stomach, GEJ or oesophagus accompanied by HER2 overexpression (IHC 3+ or IHC 2+/ISH+); those taking part in Part 1 must have experienced progression on at least one prior trastuzumab containing regimen; males and females need to be over 18; participants of childbearing potential should agree to use a highly effective form of contraception during treatment; adequate"

Answered by AI

Has the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authorized Trastuzumab deruxtecan for public use?

"Given that it is currently in a Phase 2 trial, there exists limited evidence to support the safety of Trastuzumab deruxtecan. Our team at Power consequently assigned this medication a score of 2."

Answered by AI

Does the enrollment criteria for this research study include adults aged 18 or older?

"This medical trial is open to patients aged between 18 and 130 years old. There are 124 trials for minors, while seniors over 65 can choose from 3095 different studies to participate in."

Answered by AI

Is enrollment still underway for this medical experiment?

"The information on clinicaltrials.gov attests to this trial's current recruitment status, with the original post date falling on June 3rd 2020 and a subsequent update taking place October 21st 2022."

Answered by AI

Have any other investigations explored the efficacy of Trastuzumab deruxtecan?

"Presently, there are 2534 clinical trials researching the use of trastuzumab deruxtecan. 605 of these experiments have advanced to Phase 3 and a great majority can be found in Seattle Washington. However, this medicine is being studied at over ten thousand sites globally."

Answered by AI

What afflictions is Trastuzumab deruxtecan typically used to address?

"Trastuzumab deruxtecan is often administered to patients with relapsed or refractory mediastinal large b-cell lymphoma. Beyond that, it can be prescribed for inflammatory breast cancer (IBC), advanced testicular cancer, and recalcitrant fallopian tube carcinoma."

Answered by AI

What results is this investigation attempting to uncover?

"The primary aim of this study, assessed over 24 months from informed consent, is to evaluate Objective Response Rate (ORR). Secondary objectives will include the serum concentration levels for T-DXd, total anti-HER2 antibody and MAAA-1181a in all arms. Additionally, there will be assessments conducted on ADAs present in both T-DXd and durvalumab when applicable as well as a measure of durvalumab presence when combined with T-DXd in certain cases. All participant data collected during these measurements will be presented descriptively."

Answered by AI

How many individuals are being recruited to take part in this research?

"Indeed, the clinical trial is actively recruiting according to information hosted on clinicaltrials.gov. This research was first made available on June 3rd 2020 and recently updated October 21st 2022. The study requires 315 participants from 8 participating sites."
