Summary

This trial studies tucatinib in people with HER2+ cancer that has spread to the brain, to learn more about how cancer cells can develop resistance to treatment.

Who is the study for?
Adults with HER2+ cancers that have spread to the brain, able to swallow pills, and expected to live more than 12 weeks. They should not have decision-making impairments or significant other illnesses as judged by a doctor. Women must test negative for pregnancy and agree to use contraception.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing how tucatinib behaves in the brain when treating HER2+ cancers that have metastasized there. It aims to understand drug distribution, elimination, and resistance development in patients undergoing surgery for these tumors.
What are the potential side effects?
Tucatinib may cause side effects related to liver function changes (elevated bilirubin), digestive issues (since it's an oral medication), potential allergic reactions if sensitive to its components, and interactions with certain drugs affecting liver enzymes.

Trial Design

3Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Patients with documented radiological and/or clinical CNS progression with no prior tucatinibExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Cohort B: Is to administer Tucatinib at standard dose of 300mg orally twice daily for 4 days prior to surgery (day -4 to 0).
Group II: Patients already on TucatinibExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Cohort A: This is a non-interventional study patients who will enter while already on Tucatinib . Patients in cohort A who are already on Tucatinib at a dose reduction (i.e., for toxicity) will continue the same dose.
Group III: HER2+ esophagogastric, lung, or colon cancer brain metastases and HER2 mutant breast cancerExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Cohort C: Is to administer Tucatinib at standard dose of 300mg orally twice daily for 4 days prior to surgery (day -4 to 0).
