Beamion BCGC-1: A Study to Find a Suitable Dose of Zongertinib Used Alone and in Combination With Other Treatments to Test Whether it Helps People With Different Types of HER2+ Cancer That Has Spread
What this study is about
This study is open to adults aged 18 years and older with different types of HER2+ cancer that has spread and cannot be removed by surgery. People can take part in this study if their tumours show HER2 aberrations and previous treatment was not successful.

Primary outcome measures
Dose escalation (Phase Ib): Occurrence of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) in the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) evaluation period
Time frame: up to 21 days
The MTD evaluation period is defined as the first 21 days of the first treatment cycle for Cohorts A, B, C, G, K, and O. The MTD evaluation period is defined as the first 28 days after the first administration of any trial medication for Cohorts M and N.
Dose optimization and justification (Phase II): Objective response (OR)
Time frame: up to 50 months
Objective response (OR) is defined as the best overall response of confirmed complete response (CR) or confirmed partial response (PR) according to RECIST 1.1 from the date of treatment start until the earliest date of disease progression, death, or last evaluable tumor assessment before start of subsequent anti-cancer therapy, or treatment discontinuation as assessed by investigator review.
Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- Patients ≥18 years of age or over the legal age of consent in countries where that is greater than 18 years at the time of signature of the informed consent form (ICF)
- Cohorts A to K and Cohort O: Documented Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 overexpressing and/or amplified (HER2+), metastatic breast cancer (mBC) or metastatic gastric adenocarcinoma, gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma, or esophageal adenocarcinoma (mGEAC).
- Cohorts L (L-ext), M, and N (metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC)): Documented Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) overexpression/amplification according to American Society of Clinical Oncology/College of American Pathologists (ASCO/CAP) gastric cancer guidelines and according to the result of local testing.
- For dose optimization and justification (Phase II): Patient must provide tumor tissue from locations not radiated prior to biopsy, if possible, collected through archival tissue
- History of prior treatment lines in palliative setting:
- For cohorts A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, I-ext, J, J-ext, K and O documented investigator assessed progression after HER2-directed treatment for unresectable locally advanced or metastatic disease (For Cohorts D, H, I (I-ext), J (J-ext) - patients must have been pretreated with trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) and have progressed or have been intolerant to previous T-DXd).
- For cohorts L, L-ext, M and N documented progression or recurrence of disease during or following their latest line of therapy. Patients must have had at least one prior line of therapy for locally advanced unresectable disease or metastatic disease (adjuvant and neoadjuvant therapy excluded) and documented disease progression or recurrence of disease during or following their latest line of therapy. In the opinion of the Investigator, patients must be unlikely to tolerate or derive clinically meaningful benefit from further standard of care therapy known to prolong survival.
- Presence of at least one measurable lesion according to RECIST 1.1
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score of 0 or 1
- Adequate organ function based on laboratory values Further inclusion criteria apply.
Exclusion criteria
- Previous treatment with:
- Any small molecule HER2 inhibitor in the palliative setting in Cohorts D, E, F, H, L, L-ext, M, and N. In Cohort D allowed in up to 15 patients in each dose level (DL).
- T-DXd in Cohorts E and F. In Cohort E allowed in up to 15 patients in each DL.
- trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) in the palliative setting in Cohort D and H. In Cohort H allowed in up to 15 patients in each DL.
- Capecitabine in Cohort D and H. In Cohort D allowed in up to 15 patients in each DL
- Presence of uncontrolled and/or symptomatic brain metastases, or leptomeningeal disease
- Mean resting corrected QT interval (QT interval corrected for heart rate by Fridericia´s formula (QTcF)) \>470 msec.
- Any factors that increase the risk of QT interval corrected for heart rate (QTc) prolongation or risk of arrhythmic events such as heart failure, hypokalemia, congenital long QT syndrome, personal or family history of long QT syndrome or unexplained sudden death under 40 years-of-age.
- Ejection fraction \<50% or the lower limit of normal of the institutional standard within 28 days prior to randomization
- History of (non-infectious) interstitial lung disease (ILD)/pneumonitis that required steroids, current ILD/pneumonitis, or where suspected ILD/pneumonitis cannot be ruled out by imaging at screening Further exclusion criteria apply.

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
