Maintenance drug trial

Hi

My father has been diagnosed with non operable Esophagus cancer (T3N2M1) and is currently under going Chemo. He has also tested positive for HER2 and will be discussing with his consultant soon the possibility of joining a maintenance drug trial. Is there anyone on this forum that is currently on this trial? It would be great to hear from someone what's involved , how they are finding the whole experience and most importantly, has the treatment worked for them?

Many Thanks in advance x
