Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The HER-OIC clinical trial is a Phase 1b/2a study investigating a new combination of treatments for patients with HER2-positive gastroesophageal cancer. Standard treatment for localized gastroesophageal cancer usually involves chemotherapy before and after surgery. This study aims to see if adding targeted therapy (zanidatamab) and immunotherapy (tislelizumab) to standard chemotherapy is safe and effectively eliminates the tumor. The goal is to improve the pathological complete response (pCR) rate, which is the percentage of patients who have no visible cancer cells remaining in the tissue removed during surgery.

- Perioperative Zanidatamab and Chemotherapy
- description
- This is a single-arm, open-label trial where participants are assigned to receive specific interventions (zanidatamab, chemotherapy, tislelizumab) based on the study protocol.

Primary outcomes (2)
- measure
- Incidence of Qualifying Safety Events (Phase 1b Safety Run-in)
- timeFrame
- During the neoadjuvant period, which start from the first treatment administration and continues until the end of the fourth preoperative 14-day cycle (8 weeks)
- description
- The primary safety endpoint is the incidence of "qualifying safety events," defined as Grade ≥3 diarrhea or any Grade ≥3 treatment-emergent toxicity that results in the inability to administer the planned neoadjuvant chemotherapy or zanidatamab.
