Recruiting PHASE2 Advanced Breast Cancer

Tests treatment safety and results for Advanced Breast Cancer

Official title Safety and Efficacy of T-DXd vs. CDK4/6i-based ET as First-line Therapy of HR-positive and HER2-low/Ultralow Advanced Breast Cancer Patients Classified as Non-luminal Subtype

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06486883

What this study is testing

What is Trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd, DS-8201a)?

Trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd, DS-8201a) is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for advanced breast cancer.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
This trial studies a type of advanced breast cancer defined as hormone receptor HR-positive/HER2-negative and classified as non-luminal by gene expression profiling (PAM50). Patients will be treated with trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) or with physician's choice of CDK4/6 inhibitor (CDK4/6i) plus endocrine therapy (ET).
