Real-world data may expand use of targeted drug for hard-to-treat breast cancer
NCT ID NCT06727227
First seen Jul 20, 2026 · Last updated Aug 18, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study follows 138 adults in Bulgaria and Slovenia with HER2-low advanced breast cancer who are taking trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd), a targeted therapy. Researchers will track how long patients go before needing a different treatment or dying. The goal is to see how well T-DXd works in real-world settings, outside of clinical trials.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd), an antibody-drug conjugate that targets HER2-low cancer cells
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could confirm that T-DXd works well in everyday clinical practice for people with HER2-low breast cancer, supporting its broader use.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so results may be influenced by patient selection or other factors. It does not test a new treatment, only tracks existing use.
This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Who is studied
Study Population: Criteria: Age: Adult patients (≥18 years). Diagnosis: Confirmed diagnosis of unresectable or metastatic breast cancer (mBC). HER2 Status: Documented HER2-low status. Treatment Decision: Patients for whom the decision to initiate trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) treatment has been made independently and prior to enrolment in the study. Enrollment: Timing: Patients must be enrolled within 30 days before the administration of the first T-DXd infusion. Consent: Patients must provide written informed consent for data collection.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Adult patient (age ≥18 years) with histological or cytological confirmed diagnosis of unresectable or mBC. * Documented HER2-low status (IHC1+, IHC2+/ISH-) in patients who have received prior chemotherapy in the metastatic setting or documented HER2-low status (IHC 1+, IHC 2+/ISH-) in patients who have developed disease recurrence during or within 6 months of completing adjuvant chemotherapy. * Recent prior decision to initiate therapy of T-DXd per SmPC (up to 30 days). Documentation confirming this decision will be required and collected. * Able and willing to provide informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * Pregnancy or breastfeeding. * History of other primary malignancies in 2 years prior to unresectable or mBC diagnosis. * Patients who at time of data collection for this study are participating in or have participated in an interventional study that remains blinded. * HER2-low status patients who have previously documented HER2+ status in the same tumor.
