Is NCT05965479 recruiting? Yes, currently enrolling (May 2026). This Phase 2 trial studies Trastuzumab deruxtecan for gastrooesophageal cancer.

Phase 2RecruitingUniversity of SouthamptonNCT05965479Data as of May 2026

Treatment: Trastuzumab deruxtecanMulticentre, single arm, open label UK phase II trial to assess the efficacy of trastuzumab deruxtecan in reducing micrometastatic disease burden in HER2 positive GOA patients who are ctDNA positive after chemotherapy and surgery. 25 patients will be recruited from approximately 15 NHS secondary care sites.
