Study Summary

This trial will compare DS 8201a, a new HER2-targeted treatment, to standard treatment for HER2 breast cancer that has been treated before and cannot be removed by surgery.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with HER2-positive breast cancer that's either inoperable or has spread, and who have previously been treated with T-DM1. They must not have participated in certain other drug studies, have no serious heart disease or lung conditions, and agree to use effective contraception.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares a new medication called DS-8201a (Trastuzumab deruxtecan) against standard treatments like Capecitabine, Trastuzumab, and Lapatinib. It aims to see if DS-8201a is more effective for those who've had prior treatment.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include typical chemotherapy reactions such as nausea, fatigue, hair loss; targeted therapy issues like allergic reactions; plus specific concerns from DS-8201a which may involve blood count changes and potential lung problems.
