Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults ≥18 with an unresectable or metastatic HER2-expressing or HER2-mutated solid tumor, measurable disease, and adequate health status.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients without disease control at early assessment or who cannot tolerate the combination may not benefit.

What this trial studies
This first-in-human study uses a dose-escalation and dose-expansion design to evaluate DS-1103a, an anti-SIRPα antibody, in combination with other anticancer agents for adults with unresectable or metastatic HER2-expressing or HER2-mutated solid tumors. Participants will receive DS-1103a with potential partner therapies (including T-DXd) and undergo safety monitoring, tumor measurements, and biomarker assessments. The trial aims to identify a tolerable dose and gather preliminary signals of efficacy while ensuring participants meet eligibility criteria such as measurable disease, ECOG 0-1, and adequate organ function. The study is sponsored by Daiichi Sankyo with AstraZeneca and is conducted at selected centers in the United States.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, participants may experience tumor control or delayed progression from the combination therapy.
How similar studies have gone: Previous approaches targeting SIRPα-CD47 pathways have shown mostly exploratory signals; this first-in-human study seeks safety and preliminary efficacy data for DS-1103a combinations.
