Summary

This trial is testing a new treatment called HER3-DXd in patients with advanced or spreading solid tumors like melanoma, head and neck cancer, gastric cancer, ovarian cancer, and others.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced or metastatic solid tumors, including specific types of melanoma, head and neck cancers, gastric cancer, ovarian carcinoma, cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, bladder cancer, esophageal carcinoma, pancreatic carcinoma and prostate cancer. Participants must have experienced disease progression after prior treatments.
What is being tested?
The study tests HER3-DXd monotherapy in patients with various solid tumors. It focuses on those who've had previous treatments but their disease has progressed. The goal is to see how effective this new therapy is on its own.
What are the potential side effects?
While the exact side effects are not provided here, similar therapies often cause reactions at the injection site, fatigue, nausea and increased risk of infections. Side effects can vary based on individual patient factors.
