Detailed Description

This is a 2-part study of valemetostat in combination with DXd ADCs in patients with HER2-positive gastric cancer, non-squamous NSCLC, or unresectable or metastatic HER2 low breast cancer. The study will begin with a Part 1 Dose-escalation Phase and will continue until the recommended dose for expansion "RDE" of valemetostat is determined and will then be followed by a Part 2 Dose-expansion Phase to further evaluate the safety and tolerability of the combination.
