Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?

This is a single arm, open label trial to assess the safety and efficacy of tucatinib in combination with pembrolizumab and trastuzumab for the treatment of HER2+ breast cancer brain metastases (BCBM). A total of 33 patients with untreated or previously treated and progressing HER2+ BCBM not requiring urgent central nervous system (CNS)-directed therapy will be enrolled. The study will determine the recommended dose of tucatinib in this combination and assess the efficacy of this combination in controlling CNS disease in patients with HER2+ BCBM.
