Brief summary

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

Detailed description

This study will have 2 parts: a safety lead-in to demonstrate a tolerable safety profile and confirm a preliminary recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) (Part 1) followed by an efficacy evaluation (Part 2)

Inclusion criteria

The main inclusion criteria include but are not limited to the following: * Has one of the following histologically confirmed advanced or metastatic solid tumors: Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS), or Hepatoblastoma * Has progressed after at least 1 prior systemic treatment for RMS or hepatoblastoma and who has no satisfactory alternative treatment option (ie, is ineligible for other standard treatment regimens) * Participants who have adverse events (AEs) due to previous anticancer therapies must have recovered to Grade ≤1 or baseline. Participants with endocrine-related AEs who are adequately treated with hormone replacement or participants who have Grade ≤2 neuropathy are eligible.

Exclusion criteria

MeasureTime frameDescription
Part 1: Percentage of Participants Who Experience Dose-limiting Toxicities (DLTs)Cycle 1 (up to approximately 21 days); each cycle is 21 daysA DLT is any of a prespecified list of adverse events (AEs) that occur during Cycle 1 (up to 21 days) if attributed to the study treatment and not attributed to any other clearly identifiable cause. The percentage of participants who experience DLTs will be reported. Each cycle is 21 days.
Part 1: Percentage of Participants Who Experience an Adverse Event (AE)Up to approximately 5 yearsAn AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a study intervention. The percentage of participants who experience AEs will be reported.
Part 1: Percentage of Participants Who Discontinue Study Treatment Due to an AEUp to approximately 5 yearsAn AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a study intervention. The percentage of participants who discontinue study treatment due to an AE will be reported.

Part 1 and Part 2: Objective Response Rate (ORR)Up to approximately 5 yearsORR is defined as the percentage of participants with Complete Response (CR: disappearance of all target lesions) or Partial Response (PR: at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions) per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1). The percentage of participants who experience CR or PR as assessed by the investigator will be presented.
