First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether adding lovastatin, a common cholesterol-lowering drug, can help the cancer treatment trastuzumab deruxtecan work better in people with HER2-low or ultralow advanced breast cancer. About 60 participants will receive both drugs to see if more tumors shrink or disappear. The goal is to improve outcomes without requiring lifelong medication beyond standard care.
