Study Summary

This trial will compare DS-8201a to the standard treatment for HER2-low breast cancer that has spread.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with HER2-low breast cancer that's inoperable or has spread, and who have tried endocrine therapy without success. They should have had 1-2 prior chemotherapy treatments in the metastatic setting, be able to provide tumor samples, and not have high-HER2 cancer or a history of certain lung conditions.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares DS-8201a (Trastuzumab Deruxtecan) with standard treatments chosen by physicians such as Eribulin, Paclitaxel, Gemcitabine, Capecitabine or Nab-paclitaxel. Participants will receive either the new drug or one of these existing drugs based on their doctor's choice.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include allergic reactions to medication components, fatigue, nausea and vomiting from chemotherapy drugs. Trastuzumab Deruxtecan may cause issues like hair loss and low blood cell counts leading to increased infection risk.
