Summary

This trial tests a new treatment, Runimotamab, given alone or with another drug, in patients with advanced cancers that have a lot of a specific protein. The drugs work by attaching to this protein on cancer cells to stop their growth. Hersintuzumab is a new treatment that targets a different part of the protein.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people with advanced or metastatic HER2-expressing cancers who have tried at least one standard therapy without success, or can't tolerate it. They should expect to live at least 12 weeks, be in good physical condition (ECOG 0-1), and have a heart pumping function (LVEF) of at least 50%. People with untreated brain metastases, significant heart/lung problems, certain infections like HIV/HCV, uncontrolled diabetes, or those pregnant cannot join.
What is being tested?
The study tests Runimotamab alone and combined with Trastuzumab on participants with HER2-positive cancers. It aims to understand the safety and how the body processes these drugs when given through an IV.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions related to infusion such as fever or chills, organ inflammation due to immune response from the treatment, fatigue from drug action on cancer cells and normal tissues.

Other Research
The most common treatments for solid tumors, particularly those targeting HER2, include monoclonal antibodies like Trastuzumab and antibody-drug conjugates like T-DM1. Trastuzumab binds to the HER2 receptor, inhibiting its signaling pathways, which are crucial for tumor cell growth and survival. T-DM1 combines Trastuzumab with a cytotoxic agent, delivering targeted chemotherapy directly to HER2-positive cancer cells. These treatments are significant for solid tumor patients because they specifically target cancer cells with minimal impact on normal cells, leading to improved efficacy and reduced side effects compared to traditional chemotherapy.
