About this study
This phase I/II trial studies the effects of trastuzumab deruxtecan (DS-8201a) in treating patients with osteosarcoma, Wilms tumor (WT) or desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT) that is newly diagnosed or has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent) or that has not responded to previous treatment (refractory). Trastuzumab deruxtecan is in a class of medications called antibody-drug conjugates. It is composed of a monoclonal antibody, called trastuzumab, linked to a chemotherapy drug, called deruxtecan. Trastuzumab attaches to HER2 positive tumor cells in a targeted way and delivers deruxtecan to kill them.

- ✓ Patients must have had histologic verification of Wilms tumor or desmoplastic small round cell tumor at original diagnosis or relapse
- ✓ Solid tumors: Patients must have measurable disease according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1. Patients with clinically inactive brain metastases may be included in the study. Patients with treated brain metastases that are no longer symptomatic and who require no treatment with corticosteroids or anticonvulsants may be included in the study if they have recovered from the acute toxic effect of radiotherapy.
