Study Summary

This trial is testing a new drug to see if it can help people with cancer that has come back or spread, and that has the HER2 gene.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced solid tumors linked to HER2 gene changes, who are in good physical condition (Karnofsky Performance Status ≥70%), have adequate blood cell counts, and agree to use effective contraception. It's not for those who've had ado-trastuzumab emtansine before, are pregnant/breastfeeding, have certain heart conditions or lung diseases, or severe allergies to the drug's components.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the effects of ado-trastuzumab emtansine on cancers thought to be driven by abnormal HER2 genes. Participants must have measurable cancer signs and meet specific genetic criteria confirmed by a certified lab. The trial includes various cohorts based on different types of HER2 mutations or amplifications.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include liver issues, heart problems like reduced ejection fraction leading to congestive heart failure symptoms, nerve damage resulting in peripheral neuropathy, and reactions related to drug components.
