NCT ID NCT04965766

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This Phase 2 trial tests a drug called patritumab deruxtecan in people with advanced hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer that has stopped responding to hormone therapy and chemotherapy. The drug is designed to seek out and destroy cancer cells that have a protein called HER3 on their surface. About 139 participants will receive the drug every three weeks. Researchers will track how many patients' tumors shrink and study which patients benefit most.
