Who this trial is looking for

This trial is looking for adults with a specific type of salivary gland cancer that is HER2-positive. Participants will receive a treatment combining a study drug with standard care after surgery, and help researchers learn about its effectiveness and safety.

About This Trial

This research is being done to see how safe and effective the use of the study drug Ado-trastuzumab (T) emtansine (DM1), T-DM1, and standard of care chemoradiation are when used together in treating HER2-positive salivary gland cancer. It will also examine the effectiveness of study drug Ado-trastuzumab (T) emtansine (DM1) on cancer recurrence.
