Clinical trial Recruiting at 1 site Phase 2 Interventional Ages 18 to 75

TQB2102 with immune therapy, with or without chemotherapy, for HER2‑positive advanced gastroesophageal cancer

Official title: Phase II Clinical Trial Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of TQB2102 for Injection in Chemotherapy With Behmosubstituted Monoclonalb/Pembrolizumab ± Chemotherapy in Patients With Unresectable, Locally Advanced, Recurrent, or Metastatic HER2-Positive Gastroesophageal Adenocarcinoma

Run by Chia Tai Tianqing Pharmaceutical Group Co., Ltd. · NCT06767800 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This test will see if TQB2102, a new HER2‑targeting antibody‑drug conjugate given with benmelstobart and sometimes the PD‑1 antibody penpulimab and chemotherapy, can improve responses in people with unresectable, recurrent, or metastatic HER2‑positive gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults 18–75 with unresectable locally advanced, recurrent, or metastatic HER2‑positive gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma (IHC 3+ or IHC 2+/ISH+), ECOG 0–1, measurable disease, and adequate organ function are ideal candidates.

Probably not a fit

Patients without HER2 overexpression, with poor performance status, significant organ dysfunction, or who are heavily pretreated for metastatic disease are unlikely to benefit from this regimen.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

TQB2102 is a novel antibody‑drug conjugate that binds two nonoverlapping HER2 epitopes (ECD2 and ECD4) to increase HER2 internalization, downregulate surface HER2, and provide dual HER2 blockade. In this Phase II interventional trial, people with HER2‑positive unresectable, recurrent, or metastatic gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma will receive TQB2102 combined with benmelstobart and with or without penpulimab and chemotherapy across predefined dosing cohorts. Eligible participants must have documented HER2 overexpression (IHC 3+ or IHC 2+ with ISH positivity), at least one measurable lesion by RECIST 1.1, ECOG 0–1, and adequate organ function. The trial will track tumor response and safety to identify active and tolerable combination regimens.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the combination could produce higher tumor response rates and longer disease control than existing HER2‑targeted approaches for this patient group.

How similar studies have gone: Other HER2‑targeted antibody‑drug conjugates (for example trastuzumab‑deruxtecan) have shown meaningful activity in HER2‑positive gastric cancer, so this dual‑epitope ADC builds on existing promising approaches.
