Inclusion Criteria  
Age From  18.00 Year(s)
Age To  99.00 Year(s)
Gender  Both 
Details  1 Male or female patients:
a) ≥ 18 years of age – applicable for all countries participating in the study except Japan,
b) ≥ 20 years of age – applicable for Japan only
2 Pathologically documented breast cancer that:
a) Is advanced or metastatic
b) Has a history of HER2-low or negative expression, defined as IHC 2+/ISH- or IHC 1+ (ISH- or untested) or IHC 0 (ISH- or untested) with a validated assay
c) Patients with historical HER2-low or HER2 IHC 0 expression must be confirmed by central laboratory testing to have HER2 low expression or HER2 IHC >0 <1+ expression, respectively. If the local HER2 result is not confirmed by the central laboratory result (i.e., must be HER2 low by most recent local HER2 test and HER2 low by central test or HER2 IHC 0 by most recent local HER2 test and HER2 IHC >0 <1+ by central test), the patient will not be eligible for the study.
o If a patient has had multiple historical/local HER2 results, the most recent result will be compared with the central laboratory HER2 results to confirm eligibility.
o The most recent historical/local HER2 result that will be used to compare with the central laboratory HER2 result must be from metastatic disease or later.
o If most recent local HER2 testing only classified the patient’s tumor as HER2 negative (IHC status not available), eligibility will be determined by the central laboratory testing results.
d) Was never previously reported as HER2-positive (IHC 3+ or ISH+) as per ASCO/CAP guidelines.
e) Is documented as HR+ (either ER and/or PgR positive [ER or PgR ≥1%]) per ASCO/CAP guidelines (Hammond et al, 2010) in the metastatic setting. If a patient has had multiple ER/PgR results after metastatic disease, the most recent test result will be used to confirm eligibility
3 Must have an adequate tumor tissue sample available for assessment of HER2 by central laboratory and other exploratory biomarker analyses and is preferred in FFPE blocks based on a mandatory FFPE tumor sample obtained at the time of metastatic disease or later; the most recently collected pre-randomization tumor sample from the time of metastatic disease or later that meets the tissue requirements specified in Section 8.6.1 is required. If no archival specimens are available, a newly acquired biopsy specimen is acceptable. (see Section 8.6.1 and the laboratory manual for additional details).
4 ECOG performance status of 0 or 1
5 Radiologic or objective evidence of disease progression on or after the last systemic therapy prior to starting study treatment
6 Must have had disease progression on at least 2 previous lines of ET with or without a targeted therapy (such as CDK4/6, mTOR or PI3-K inhibitors) administered for the treatment of metastatic disease. Of note:
a) Single agent anti-CDK4/6 therapy for the treatment of metastatic disease is considered a line of therapy
b) Disease progression within 24 months of starting adjuvant ET is considered a line of therapy
c) Any progression after completing a course of adjuvant ET will not be considered a line of therapy
d) Changes in dosing schedules, or discontinuations/re-starting of the same drugs or the addition of a targeted therapy to an ET without progression (e.g., adding a CDK4/6 to a current aromatase inhibitor regimen) will not be considered separate lines of therapy.
7 No prior chemotherapy for advanced or metastatic breast cancer. Patients who have received chemotherapy in the neo-adjuvant or adjuvant setting are eligible, as long as they have had a disease-free interval (defined as completion of systemic chemotherapy to diagnosis of advanced or metastatic disease) of >12 months.
8 Life expectancy ≥12 weeks at screening
9 At least 1 lesion, not previously irradiated, that can be measured accurately at baseline as ≥10 mm in the longest diameter (except lymph nodes which must have short axis ≥15 mm) with CT or MRI which is suitable for accurate repeated measurements, or Non-measurable, bone-only disease that can be assessed by CT or MRI or X-Ray. Lytic or mixed lytic bone lesions that can be assessed by CT or MRI or X-Ray in the absence of measurable disease as defined above is acceptable; patients with sclerotic/osteoblastic bone lesions only in the absence of measurable disease are not eligible.
10 LVEF ≥ 50% within 28 days before randomization.
11 Adequate organ and bone marrow function within 14 days before randomization.
12 Adequate treatment washout period before randomization/enrollment, defined as:
a) Major surgery: ≥ 4 weeks
b) Radiation therapy including palliative stereotactic radiation therapy to chest: ≥ 4 weeks (palliative stereotactic radiation therapy to other areas ≥ 2 weeks).
c) Hormonal therapy: ≥ 3 weeks (≥ 2 weeks or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer for small molecule targeted agents)
d) Antibody-based anti-cancer therapy: ≥ 4 weeks with the exception of receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL) inhibitors (e.g., denosumab for the treatment of complications resulting from bone metastases)
e) Chloroquine/Hydroxychloroquine: ≥ 14 days
13 Evidence of post-menopausal status or negative serum pregnancy test for females of childbearing potential who are sexually active with a non-sterilized male partner. For women of childbearing potential, a negative result for serum pregnancy test (test must have a sensitivity of at least 25 mIU/mL) must be available at the screening visit and urine beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-HCG) pregnancy test prior to each administration of study treatment. Women will be considered post-menopausal if they have been amenorrheic for 12 months without an alternative medical cause. The following age-specific requirements apply: women aged ≥ 50 years would be considered post-menopausal if they have been amenorrheic for 12 months or more following cessation of exogenous hormonal treatments and if they have luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels in the post-menopausal range for the site. Women aged ≤ 50 years would be considered post menopausal if they have been amenorrheic for 12 months or more following cessation of all exogenous hormonal treatments, had radiation induced oophorectomy with last menses >1 year ago, had chemotherapy-induced menopause with >1 year interval since last menses, or underwent surgical sterilization (bilateral oophorectomy or hysterectomy).
14 Female patients of childbearing potential who are sexually active with a non-sterilized male partner must use at least one highly effective method of contraception from the time of screening and must agree to continue using such precautions for 7 months after the last dose of study treatment. Not all methods of contraception are highly effective.Female patients must refrain from egg cell donation and breastfeeding while on study treatment and for at least 7 months after the last dose of study treatment. Not engaging in sexual activity for the duration of the study treatment and the drug wash out period (7 months) is an acceptable practice; however, periodic or occasional abstinence, the rhythm method, and the withdrawal method are not acceptable methods of contraception.
15 Non-sterilized male patients who are sexually active with a female partner of childbearing potential must use a condom with spermicide from screening to 4 months after the final dose of study treatment. Not engaging in sexual activity for the duration of the study treatment and drug washout period is an acceptable practice; however, periodic or occasional abstinence, the rhythm method, and the withdrawal method are not acceptable methods of contraception. It is strongly recommended for the female partners of a male patient also use at least one highly effective method of contraception throughout this period.
16 Female patients must not donate, or retrieve for their own use

Brief Summary  

The study is an open-label, multi-center, randomized study in HR+, HER2-low breast cancer patients whose disease has progressed on at least 2 lines of prior ET in the metastatic setting.

 

The primary purpose of the study is to determine the efficacy and safety of T-DXd compared with investigator’s choice single agent chemotherapy in the target population. Approximately 850 patients (700 patients with HER2 IHC 2+/ISH- and IHC 1+ [HER2-low] expression and 150 patients with HER2 IHC >0 <1+ expression) will be randomized 1:1 across approximately 300 centers globally to receive either T-DXd or investigator’s choice single agent chemotherapy (capecitabine, paclitaxel or nab-paclitaxel) until RECIST 1.1 defined disease progression (PD), unless there is unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or another criterion for discontinuation is met. To ensure adequate representation of each subgroup of the HER2-low

population, at least 240 patients in each HER2 IHC group (IHC 2+/ISH- and IHC 1+) across both treatment arms (120 patients per arm) will be randomized.

 

Tumor evaluation scans will be performed at screening (as baseline) with follow-ups every 6 weeks (q6w ± 1 week) from the date of randomization for 48 weeks, and then every 9 weeks (q9w ± 1 week, starting at Week 57) thereafter until objective disease progression.

The study will compare PFS, OS and other measures of efficacy between the study treatment groups and further characterize the safety and tolerability profile of T-DXd.

 

Duration of Treatment: Unless specific treatment discontinuation criteria are met or the patient withdraws consent, all patients will continue receiving treatment until disease progression. For patients randomized to the investigator’s choice single agent chemotherapy arm, crossover to T-DXd will not be permitted.

 

Follow-up of Patients post Discontinuation of Study Treatment: After discontinuation of study treatment, all patients will have post-treatment follow-up scheduled at 40 days (± 7 days) after their last dose of study treatment. Patients who have discontinued treatment for reasons other than progressive disease will also be followed up with tumor assessments until radiological progression (or death). All patients will be followed up for PFS2 and survival

status, unless consent was withdrawn.

 

Survival: All patients randomized should be followed up for survival unless consent was withdrawn. Long-term/survival follow-up visits will be performed every 3 months (±14 days) from the date of the 40-day (±7 days) follow-up visit until death, withdrawal of consent, or study closure, whichever occurs first.
