About this trial

Multicentre, single arm, open label UK phase II trial to assess the efficacy of trastuzumab deruxtecan in reducing micrometastatic disease burden in HER2 positive GOA patients who are ctDNA positive after chemotherapy and surgery. 25 patients will be recruited from approximately 15 NHS secondary care sites.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Pathologically documented adenocarcinoma of the stomach (clinical stage before surgery of AJCC I-III), gastroesophageal junction, or lower oesophagus (to include Type I Siewert only), with HER2 overexpression (IHC 3+ or IHC 2+/ISH+) based on local tissue testing results.

ctDNA positive after surgery as per Signatera assay

Capable of giving signed informed consent prior to any mandatory study specific procedures, sampling, or analyses and which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the ICF and in this protocol.

Male and female participants must be at least 18 years of age at the time of signing the ICF.

Disqualifiers

Uncontrolled intercurrent illness, including but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirement, substantially increase risk of incurring AE's, or compromise the ability of the participant to give written informed consent.

Participants with a medical history of myocardial infarction within 6 months before treatment or symptomatic CHF (New York Heart Association Class II to IV), unstable angina pectoris, clinically important cardiac arrhythmias, or a recent (<6 months) cardiovascular event, including myocardial infarction, unstable angina pectoris, and stroke. Participants with troponin levels above ULN at screening (as defined by the manufacturer)m and without myocardial related symptoms, should have a cardiologic consultation before enrolment to rule out myocardial infarction.

Corrected QT interval (QTcF) prolongation to > 470 msec (females) or > 450 msec (males) based on average of the screening triplicate 12-lead ECG

History of (non-infectious) ILD/pneumonitis, current ILD/pneumonitis, or where suspected ILD/pneumonitis cannot be ruled out by imaging at screening.
