This trial has been approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) and began patient enrollment in January 2024. The trial will provide insights into the safety and effectiveness of a novel combinatorial therapy for BCBM.
Our model, based on NIH 3T3 cells, became sensitive to the monoclonal antibody trastuzumab and to the selective HER2 tyrosine kinase inhibitor tucatinib. The results suggest that this model could be a promising tool for preclinical functional cross-reactivity tests of anti-HER2 therapies before in vivo studies.
The addition of tucatinib to T-DM1 improved PFS in patients with previously treated HER2+ LA/MBC, including patients with BMs, and exhibited a manageable safety profile.
Although the 2LT pattern in Greece generally aligned with guidelines, persistently poor treatment outcomes underscore a significant unmet medical need for these patients.
