HER3-DXd in Metastatic or Unresectable Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
18 Years and older, Male and Female
U31402-A-U102 (primary)
NCI-2018-00060
2017-000543-41
Summary
This study is designed to evaluate safety and antitumor activity of HER3-DXd in two
parts: Dose Escalation and Dose Expansion.
In Dose Escalation, HER3-DXd will be evaluated in participants with metastatic or
unresectable NSCLC with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) activating mutation after
disease progression during/after EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy.
In Dose Expansion, HER3-DXd will be evaluated in participants with metastatic or
unresectable NSCLC with EGFR activating mutation or squamous or non-squamous NSCLC (ie,
without EGFR-activating mutations) with disease progression during/after systemic
treatment for locally advanced or metastatic disease.
In addition, HER3-DXd will be evaluated in participants with locally advanced or
metastatic NSCLC whose tumors harbor a KRAS-G12C mutation after progression on the most
recent line of therapy (Cohort 5).
Objectives
The primary objectives are:
- For Dose Escalation, to assess the safety and tolerability of HER3-DXd in the study
population and to determine the recommended dose for expansion (RDE) of HER3-DXd in
the study population
- For Dose Expansion, to investigate the antitumor activity of HER3-DXd
- For Cohort 5, investigate the antitumor activity of HER3-DXd in participants with
locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC whose tumors harbor a KRAS-G12C mutation after
the failure of targeted therapy
The number of treatment cycles is not fixed in this study. Participants will continue
study treatment (for approximately 36 months) until they decide not to (withdraw
consent), their disease gets worse [progressive disease (PD)], or side effects become
unacceptable (unacceptable toxicity) or other stopping reasons have been met.

**Clinical trials are research studies that involve people. These studies test new ways to prevent, detect, diagnose, or treat diseases. People who take part in cancer clinical trials have an opportunity to contribute to scientists’ knowledge about cancer and to help in the development of improved cancer treatments. They also receive state-of-the-art care from cancer experts...
