tucatinib who continue without interruption.
9. Patients who have had any major surgery within 28 days prior to inclusion.
10. Have evidence within 2 years of the start of study treatment of another malignancy
that required systemic treatment. This does not apply to patients already under
tucatinib who continue without interruption.

agent(s).
12. Women who are either pregnant, lactating, planning to get pregnant
13. Have a serious concomitant systemic disorder (eg, active infection or a
gastrointestinal disorder causing clinically significant symptoms such as nausea,
vomiting, diarrhea, or profound immune suppression) that, in the opinion of the
investigator, would compromise the patient's ability to adhere to the protocol,
