Tucatinib and trastuzumab in HER2-mutated metastatic breast cancer: a phase 2 basket trial
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2, also known as ERBB2) signaling promotes cell growth and differentiation, and is overexpressed in several tumor types, including breast, gastric and colorectal cancer. HER2-targeted therapies have shown clinical activity against these tumor types, resulting in regulatory approvals. However, the efficacy of HER2 therapies in tumors with HER2 mutations has not been widely investigated. SGNTUC-019 is an open-label, phase 2 basket study evaluating tucatinib, a HER2-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor, in combination with trastuzumab in patients with HER2-altered solid tumors. The study included a cohort of 31 heavily pretreated female patients with HER2-mutated metastatic breast cancer who were also HER2 negative per local testing. Hormone receptor (HR)-positive patients also received fulvestrant. The overall response rate (primary endpoint) was 41.9% (90% confidence interval (CI): 26.9-58.2). Secondary endpoints of duration of response and progression-free survival were 12.6 months (90% CI: 4.7 to not estimable) and 9.5 months (90% CI: 5.4-13.8), respectively. No new safety signals were detected. Responses were observed across various HER2 mutations, including mutations in the tyrosine kinase and extracellular domains. The chemotherapy-free regimen of tucatinib and trastuzumab showed clinically meaningful antitumor activity with durable responses and favorable tolerability in heavily pretreated patients with HER2 mutations. These data support further investigation of HER2-targeted therapies in this patient population. ClinicalTrials.gov registration: NCT04579380 .

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
