Brief Summary  

This is a Phase 3, randomised, open-label, 2 arm, multicentre, international study assessing the efficacy and safety of Dato-DXd compared with ICC in participants with inoperable or metastatic HR-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer who have been treated with one or two prior lines of systemic chemotherapy in the inoperable or metastatic setting.
Approximately 1000 participants will be enrolled to achieve approximately 700 randomly assigned to study intervention

Eligible Participants will be randomised in a 1:1 ratio to one of the following intervention groups:

Arm 1: Dato-DXd ( IV on Day 1, Q3W)

 Arm 2: ICC  Capecitabine ( oral BID on Days 1 to 14, Q3W); choice between the 2 doses will be determined by standard institutional practice.

Gemcitabine ( IV Day 1 and Day 8, Q3W)

Eribulin mesylate ( IV on Days 1 and 8, Q3W)

Vinorelbine ( IV on Days 1 and 8, Q3W)

All participants will receive study intervention until Investigator-defined disease progression according to RECIST 1.1, or until unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or another criterion for discontinuation is met. Continued treatment with the same study drug post-progression may be allowed, based on prior discussion with study physician on case-by-case basis. No crossover between study treatment arms will be allowed.
