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.
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.
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.
