An Open-Label Phase II Trial of Neratinib Plus Capecitabine in Subjects With HER2-Negative Metastatic Breast Cancer With Brain Metastases and Abnormally Active HER2 Signaling
University of Rochester
Summary
The purpose of this research is to look at the safety and effectiveness of a HER2-targeted therapy neratinib when given with capecitabine, a chemotherapy, for breast cancer patients with brain metastases whose tumors were HER2-negative by standard tests but showed abnormal HER2 activity based on the CELsignia results.
Description
The purpose of this research is to look at the safety and effectiveness of a HER2-targeted therapy neratinib when given with capecitabine, a chemotherapy, for breast cancer patients with brain metastases whose tumors were HER2-negative by standard tests but showed abnormal HER2 activity based on the CELsignia results. The CELsignia test results might predict whether this breast cancer type will respond to treatment with neratinib and capecitabine. Neratinib is called a HER2-targeted therapy because it stops cancer cells from growing by targeting and blocking the HER2 proteins that help cancer…
