Study of Patritumab Deruxtecan With Other Anticancer Agents in Participants With HER2 Positive Breast Cancer That Has Spread and Cannot Be Surgically Removed (MK-1022-009)
Recruiting now Phase 1/2 NCT06686394
Run by Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC · for 18 and older · All sexes
What this study is about
Researchers want to learn if patritumab deruxtecan (MK-1022) can treat certain breast cancers. The breast cancers being studied are HER2 positive unresectable locally advanced or metastatic (the cancer has spread to other parts of the body). The goals of this study are to learn: * About the safety and how well people tolerate of patritumab deruxtecan * How many people have the cancer respond (get smaller or go away) to treatment
