About this trial

This phase II trial studies how well giving zanidatamab before surgery (neoadjuvant) works in treating patients with colon and rectal cancer that is human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 positive (HER2+ve) who are planned for curative intent treatment. Zanidatamab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. A monoclonal antibody is a type of protein that can bind to certain targets in the body, such as molecules that cause the body to make an immune response (antigens).

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Histologically or cytologically confirmed colon and/or rectal cancer planned for curative intent treatment at gastrointestinal clinics of Emory University's Winship Cancer Institute and collaborating centers

Tumors must be HER2+ve (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 [HER2] overexpression 3+ immunohistochemistry [IHC] or 2+ by IHC and positive fluorescence in situ hybridization [FISH] or HER2 amplification by next generation sequencing)

Tumors must have RAS wildtype genotype

Radiologically measurable disease based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1

Disqualifiers

Participants with stage IV colon and rectal cancer even if curative intent resection is planned

HER2 expression that does not meet documented inclusion criteria

RAS mutation

MSI-H or mismatch repair deficient rectal cancer
