Study Summary

This trial will test a new cancer drug to see if it is effective and safe for patients with HER2-positive breast cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer. They should have good organ and bone marrow function, an ECOG performance status of 0 or 1, and no prior advanced/metastatic breast cancer treatment except possibly one line of endocrine therapy. Prior neo-adjuvant or adjuvant treatments are okay if it's been over 6 months.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the effectiveness and safety of Trastuzumab Deruxtecan (T-DXd), alone or with Pertuzumab, compared to a Taxane-based regimen including Trastuzumab and Pertuzumab as first-line treatments for metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include reactions at the infusion site, lung issues like interstitial lung disease/pneumonitis, fatigue, nausea, blood cell count changes which can affect immunity and increase infection risk.

How do I know if I am able to join this particular clinical trial?

"This study is looking for 1134 individuals that have metastatic breast cancer that is HER2 positive. The patients must be 18 years old and 130. More specifically, the patients should: be in advanced or metastatic stages, have adequate organ and bone marrow function, be HER2-positive (IHC3+ or ISH+), be HR-positive or HR-negative, have not received chemotherapy or HER2-targeted therapy before, have an ECOG performance status of 0 or 1."

Answered by AI

Are there any availabilities for new participants in this clinical trial?

"Correct. The clinical trial, which was first posted on 2021-04-26 and last updated on 2022-10-17, is currently recruiting patients. They are looking for 1134 patients from 46 different locations."

Answered by AI

What is the official stance of the FDA on Trastuzumab deruxtecan?

"There is some efficacy data and multiple data sets supporting safety, so Trastuzumab deruxtecan was given a score of 3 for safety."

Answered by AI

At how many hospitals is this particular clinical trial being conducted?

"This study is available at 46 sites. The locations include New Hyde Park, Baton Rouge, and Halifax. There are also other locations in close proximity. If you enroll, it is recommended you choose the location nearest to you to avoid extensive travelling."

Answered by AI

What is trastuzumab deruxtecan used to treat most frequently?

"Trastuzumab deruxtecan is most commonly used to treat breast cancer. However, this medication can also be used as a preventative measure for patients with a high risk of cancer recurrence, as a first line of treatment, or post-surgery."
