arx788 in her2-positive breast cancer patients with brain metastases

Conditions: HER2-positive, Metastatic Breast Cancer

Summary: a phase 2 study of arx788 in her2-positive, metastatic breast cancer patients whose disease is resistant or refractory to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (tki).

this is an open-label, single arm, phase 2 study of arx788 in her2-positive, metastatic breast cancer patients whose disease is resistant or refractory to tki. the arx788 will be administered every 3 weeks (q3w) intravenous (iv) infusion. in this study, simon's two-stage design is used. subjects received treatment until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, withdrawal from the study, or discontinuation judged by the investigator. drug efficacy and safety data will be collected.
