Weight matters: new study tracks drug levels in breast cancer patients
NCT ID NCT07195344
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is investigating whether a patient's body weight changes how the drug Trastuzumab-Deruxtecan (T-DXd) behaves in the body. Researchers will compare drug levels and side effects between normal-weight and overweight or obese patients with advanced breast cancer. The goal is to see if weight-based dosing adjustments could improve treatment safety and effectiveness.
