NRG-HN010 : A Controlled, Randomized Phase II Trial of Docetaxel Plus Trastuzumab Versus Ado-Trastuzumab Emtansine for Recurrent, Metastatic, or Treatment-Naïve, Unresectable HER2-Positive Salivary Gland Cancer
Principal Investigator
Study Number
STUDY02001992
Summary
This phase II trial tests whether ado-trastuzumab emtansine works to shrink tumors in patients with HER2-positive salivary gland cancer that has come back (recurrent), spread to other places in the body (metastatic), or cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). Trastuzumab emtansine is a monoclonal antibody, called trastuzumab, linked to a chemotherapy drug called emtansine. Trastuzumab attaches to HER2 positive cancer cells in a targeted way and delivers emtansine to kill them. Trastuzumab emtansine may work better compared to usual treatment of chemotherapy with docetaxel and trastuzumab in treating patients with salivary gland cancer.
