The HER-OIC clinical trial is a Phase 1b/2a study investigating a new combination of treatments for patients with HER2-positive gastroesophageal cancer. Standard treatment for localized gastroesophageal cancer usually involves chemotherapy before and after surgery. This study aims to see if adding targeted therapy (zanidatamab) and immunotherapy (tislelizumab) to standard chemotherapy is safe and effectively eliminates the tumor. The goal is to improve the pathological complete response (pCR) rate, which is the percentage of patients who have no visible cancer cells remaining in the tissue removed during surgery.
