About this trial

The purpose of this study is to find out how much tratuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) can penetrate the tumor when injected into the body, and whether T-DXd may be an effective treatment for brain cancers that express the HER2 protein.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Adult patients ≥ 18 years of age with one or more brain tumors planned for neurosurgical resection/biopsy

Pathologically-documented glioblastoma; or

Her2+ defined as 3+ on IHC

Her2-low defined as IHC1+ or 2+ and ISH- according to ASCO-CAP 2018 Her2 testing guidelines52

Disqualifiers

Contraindication or history of allergic reaction to T-DXd

Significant comorbidities as per investigator evaluation

Inability to comply with protocol and/or unwilling or not available for follow up assessments or any condition which in the investigator's opinion makes the patient unsuitable for study participation

Ferrous or other contraindication to MR imaging

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Intraoperative plasma concentrations in brain tumors after T-DXd injections

To evaluate the brain tumor penetration of trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) and its payload (DXd) in Her2+/Her2-low/Her2-mutant brain metastases and of Her2-expressing glioblastoma. Concentrations will be presented as brain tumor:plasma ratios across brain lesions, using intraoperative plasma concentrations

Time frame
Up to 24 months
