ONT-380/Tucatinib trial? Anybody has contact with Cascadian Therapeutics?

Hello to all.
I am still on Halaven+Herceptin and it is still working for my lung and liver mets. However, my brain mets are stable and I wanted to enter the ONT-380/Tucatinib trial that also targets HER2 brain mets.
On the clinicaltrials.gov site there are more than 60 locations listed but only in the US and Canada. One just opened in UK.
I tried to reach the lab called Cascadian Therapeutics in Seattle to know if they were hoping to open new sites in France or in Europe. I sent a mail on an address that seems more for business development than for patients or doctors and left a message on their answering machine but got no answer.

Is someone on this trial or hoping to enter this trial?
Does anyone know this lab or know how I can contact them?
Thank you for your help!

Wonderful news! You are such a great researcher for your own good! Let us know how it goes and when they plan to open those sites. Sometimes it takes a while.

Hi Michka,
Let us know about Paris. My husband and I have friends who just moved from here to Seattle and I can ask them to look into things. Also if any trials in SF or LA, I may be able to find something out. you know how to reach me if I can help in any way.
Hugs and love
Sarah

Dear Michka,

Any news to share on the trial you are working toward? Sending my best healing thoughts your way!

No trip to France in my immediate future, but I think of you often and remember our time together.
