Gene Therapy for HER-Positive Cancer (SENTRY-HER2)

Plain-language summary

This first-in-human, open-label Phase 1/2 trial assesses the safety and efficacy of the gene therapy VNX-202 in patients with HER2-positive cancers. The study includes dose-escalation and expansion parts across four dose levels. Participants are adults aged 18 or older with a histologically or cytologically confirmed HER2-positive solid tumor; Part 1 enrolls those with advanced or metastatic disease that progressed during or after prior treatment, while Part 2 enrolls early stage HER2-positive disease.
