Trastuzumab Deruxtecan (DS-8201a) for the Treatment of Recurrent or Refractory Osteosarcoma, Wilms Tumor, and Desmoplastic Small Round Cell Tumor (NCT04616560)

๐ŸŸข Recruiting Phase2 ๐Ÿ’Š Investigational Drug / Biologic Sponsor: National Cancer Institute (NCI)

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

This phase I/II trial studies the effects of trastuzumab deruxtecan (DS-8201a) in treating patients with osteosarcoma, Wilms tumor (WT) or desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT) that is newly diagnosed or has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent) or that has not responded to previous treatment (refractory). Trastuzumab deruxtecan is in a class of medications called antibody-drug conjugates. It is composed of a monoclonal antibody, called trastuzumab, linked to a chemotherapy drug, called deruxtecan. Trastuzumab attaches to HER2 positive tumor cells in a targeted way and delivers deruxtecan to kill them.
