Clinical Trials Michael Poiesz is currently running
Tucatinib + Trastuzumab + Chemotherapy
for Colorectal Cancer
This study is being done to find out if tucatinib with other cancer drugs works better than standard of care to treat participants with HER2 positive colorectal cancer. This study will also determine what side effects happen when participants take this combination of drugs. A side effect is anything a drug does to the body besides treating your disease. Participants in this study have colorectal cancer that has spread through the body (metastatic) and/or cannot be removed with surgery (unresectable). Participants will be assigned randomly to the tucatinib group or standard of care group. The tucatinib group will get tucatinib, trastuzumab, and mFOLFOX6. The standard of care group will get either: * mFOLFOX6 alone, * mFOLFOX6 with bevacizumab, or * mFOLFOX6 with cetuximab mFOLFOX6 is a combination of multiple drugs. All of the drugs given in this study are used to treat this type of cancer.

Imlunestrant
for Early Breast Cancer
This trial is testing a new medication called imlunestrant to see if it works better than standard hormone treatments for certain breast cancer patients. The study focuses on patients with early-stage breast cancer that is estrogen receptor positive and HER2 negative, who have already been on hormone therapy for a period of time and are at high risk of their cancer returning. Imlunestrant works by blocking estrogen from helping cancer cells grow.
