Recruiting at 4 sites Phase 2 Colon Carcinoma

Clinical trial for Colon Carcinoma

Official title Zanidatamab Before Surgery for the Treatment of HER2 Positive Colon and Rectal Cancer in Patients Planned for Curative Intent Treatment

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07405476

What this study is testing

What is Zanidatamab?

An investigational intravenous antibody being studied as a potential treatment for HER2-positive colon and rectal cancer before surgery. It is designed to bind to HER2 receptors on tumor cells.

Also referred to as ZW25.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment. It is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
The study wants to see if giving zanidatamab before surgery helps treat HER2‑positive colon or rectal cancer.
Who it's for
It is looking for adults with stage I‑III colon or rectal cancer that tests positive for HER2.
What's involved
Participants will receive zanidatamab injections before their surgery and then have the usual surgical and follow‑up care.
Time commitment
The study lasts until the surgery and a short follow‑up period afterward, with a few clinic visits for drug administration and monitoring.
  • Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
  • Time commitment: about 2 years
