Can a better HER2 test predict who responds to targeted therapy?

NCT ID NCT06551116

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

Summary

This study is testing a new, more precise method to measure HER2 levels in leftover tumor tissue from people with HER2-low metastatic breast cancer. The goal is to see if this test can accurately tell who will respond to the drug T-Dxd. Researchers will enroll 200 participants and compare the test results with actual treatment outcomes.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

quantitative HER2 assay (diagnostic test on leftover tumor tissue)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could lead to a more accurate test that helps doctors identify which patients with HER2-low breast cancer will benefit from targeted therapy like T-Dxd.

What could go wrong

This is an early diagnostic study, not a treatment trial. The test may not reliably predict response, and results may not change patient outcomes.
