The study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of trastuzumab deruxtecan (also known as
T-DXd, DS-8201a), either alone or in combination with pertuzumab, in treating patients
with Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer as a first
line of treatment in the metastatic setting.
Study sponsor and potential other locations can be found on ClinicalTrials.gov for NCT04784715.
Eligible participants will be those diagnosed with HER2-positive (IHC 3+ or ISH+),
metastatic breast cancer, who have received no prior chemotherapy or HER2-targeted
therapy for advanced or metastatic breast cancer.
The study aims to evaluate the efficacy, and safety of trastuzumab deruxtecan, alone or
with pertuzumab, compared with the standard of care treatment (taxane [docetaxel or
paclitaxel], trastuzumab and pertuzumab). This study aims to see if trastuzumab
deruxtecan allows patients to live longer without the cancer getting worse, or simply to
live longer, compared to patients receiving standard of care chemotherapy. This study is
also looking to see how the treatment and the cancer affects patients' quality of life.
