NCT ID NCT07459673

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This phase 2 trial tests a personalized approach for people with HER2+ metastatic breast cancer. Doctors use ctDNA blood tests and imaging to decide when to step up or down treatments, including targeted drugs and local therapies, to achieve long-term remission. The goal is to see if this strategy can lead to lasting remission and possibly a cure for some participants.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan-nxki (T-DXd) and pertuzumab

What this could lead to

If successful, this approach could lead to long-lasting remission and possibly cure for some people with HER2+ metastatic breast cancer by personalizing treatment and preventing brain metastases.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase trial with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The treatment involves multiple drugs and procedures, which can cause side effects, and the personalized strategy may not work for all patients.
