Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma that expresses HER2 and have received limited prior systemic therapy.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with HER2 negative urothelial cancer or those who have received extensive prior treatments may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This clinical trial investigates the efficacy and safety of disitamab vedotin, either alone or in combination with pembrolizumab, for patients with HER2 expressing urothelial carcinoma. Participants will include those with locally advanced or metastatic disease that cannot be surgically removed. The study aims to assess the drug's effectiveness in shrinking tumors and to monitor any side effects experienced by the participants. The trial will involve multiple cohorts based on prior treatment history and HER2 expression levels.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with HER2 positive urothelial cancer.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promising results with HER2-targeted therapies in similar cancer types, suggesting potential for success in this approach.
