Brief description of study

This is an open-label, multi-center, multi-cohort, Phase 2 study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) for the treatment of selected HER2-expressing tumors.

Study hypothesis: Trastuzumab deruxtecan will show meaningful clinical activity and a favorable risk benefit profile in selected HER2-expressing solid tumors.

THIS STUDY IS ENROLLING BY INVITATION ONLY - Consistent with most oncology trials, patients are not actively “recruited,” but are screened by their physician for appropriate clinical trial(s) at the time of their routine clinic visit. Occasionally, a patient may be a self-referral or physician referral, but are still screened for appropriate clinical trials at the time of their routine clinic visit. PI and staff may send copies of relevant consent forms to these patients to look over prior to actually consenting or enrolling them. This may take place at the patient's visit at which the consent is presented or the patient's next visit to the outpatient hematology/oncology clinic.

Detailed description of study

This study will consist of Part 1 which includes 7 cohorts of: urothelial bladder cancer, biliary tract cancer, cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, ovarian cancer, pancreatic cancer, and rare tumors; and Part 2 which includes 5 cohorts A to E of: A) any tumor type that is HER2 IHC 3+ (excluding breast, gastric cancer, and colorectal cancer), B) any tumor type that is HER2 IHC 2+/ISH+ (excluding breast, gastric cancer, and colorectal cancer), C) HER2 IHC 2+ or 1+ endometrial cancer, D) HER2 IHC 2+ or 1+ ovarian cancer, and E) HER2 IHC 2+ or 1+ cervical cancer.

  • Primary diagnosis of adenocarcinoma of the breast, adenocarcinoma of the colon or rectum, adenocarcinoma of the gastric body or gastro-esophageal junction, or non-small cell lung cancer for Part 1. For Part 2, patients with primary diagnosis of adenocarcinoma of the breast, adenocarcinoma of the colon or rectum, adenocarcinoma of the gastric body or gastro-esophageal junction will be excluded.
  • Medical conditions that may interfere with the subject's participation in the study.

Updated on 25 Aug 2025. Study ID: BALL-AZ-DESTINY-PAN-02, D967VC00001, 1707147

This study investigates an investigational medication for treating certain tumors that express a protein called HER2. HER2 is a protein that can affect the growth of some cancer cells. The study includes different types of cancers such as bladder, biliary tract, cervical, endometrial, ovarian, pancreatic, and some rare tumors.

Participants will be divided into different study arms based on their type of cancer and how much HER2 protein is present. The study will observe how the investigational medication works and its safety. Participants may receive the investigational medication and will be monitored for changes in their condition.

  • Who can participate: Adults with advanced or metastatic HER2-expressing tumors, including bladder, biliary tract, cervical, endometrial, ovarian, pancreatic, and some rare tumors, are eligible. Participants must have progressed following prior treatment and meet specific health criteria.
  • Study details: Participants will receive an investigational medication and be monitored for its effects on their cancer. The study includes different study arms based on the type of cancer and HER2 expression level.
