Summary

This trial will study whether tucatinib is safe when given with other anti-cancer drugs to treat gastrointestinal cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with HER2+ gastrointestinal cancers, including stomach and colorectal cancer, who can receive oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy. They must have a performance status that allows daily activities with minimal assistance. People cannot join if they've had severe immune-related side effects from certain cancer treatments or are known to be positive for Hepatitis B or C.
What is being tested?
The study tests the safety and effectiveness of tucatinib combined with trastuzumab and other anti-cancer drugs like pembrolizumab, FOLFOX (a regimen including fluorouracil, leucovorin, and oxaliplatin), and CAPOX (capecitabine plus oxaliplatin). It aims to see how well these combinations work against various types of gastrointestinal cancers.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include allergic reactions to the medications used, potential liver issues due to hepatitis risk factors, as well as common chemotherapy-related side effects such as nausea, fatigue, low blood counts leading to increased infection risk or bleeding problems.
