Trial Purpose
Researchers are looking for new ways to treat children with hepatoblastoma or rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) that has relapsed or is refractory:
* Hepatoblastoma is a common liver cancer in babies and very young children
* RMS is a cancer that starts in muscle cells, often in a child’s head and neck, bladder, arms, or legs
* Relapsed means the cancer came back after treatment
* Refractory means the cancer did not respond (get smaller or go away) to treatment
The study treatment HER3-DXd (also known as MK-1022 or patritumab deruxtecan) is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC). An ADC attaches to a protein on cancer cells and delivers treatment to destroy those cells. The goals of this study are to learn:
* About the safety of HER3-DXd in children and if they tolerate it
* What happens to HER3-DXd in children’s bodies over time
* If children who receive HER3-DXd have the cancer get smaller or go away

About The Study
Trial Phase
Trial Phase 1
Investigational medication is tested for safety on a relatively small group of 20 to 100 volunteers who are usually healthy, but not always. Phase 1 trials may happen in a doctor’s office or a hospital.
Trial Phase 2
In Phase 2 trials, researchers try to find out if a treatment works in about 100 to 500 participantsResearch participantIn clinical research, a person who qualifies and agrees to participate in a study. Also called volunteer, trial participant. – usually people who have the health condition the treatment is intended to treat. In vaccine trials, the participants are usually healthy. Phase 2 trials may happen in a doctor’s office, a clinic, or a hospital.
