New drug sequence aims to outsmart advanced breast cancer
NCT ID NCT07683754
First seen Jul 06, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This trial tests a planned sequence of treatments for people with advanced or metastatic HER2-positive and hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. Participants first receive T-DXd (Enhertu) plus pertuzumab, then switch to a maintenance combination of palbociclib, endocrine therapy, and two HER2-blocking antibodies. If the cancer progresses during maintenance, T-DXd can be given again. The goal is to maximize disease control, reduce side effects, and keep T-DXd effective for later use.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd), trastuzumab, pertuzumab, palbociclib, endocrine therapy
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this sequential strategy could improve long-term disease control and delay progression in advanced HER2+/HR+ breast cancer, while preserving T-DXd as a future treatment option.
- What could go wrong
- This is a Phase 3 trial, but results may not apply to all patients. Side effects from the drug combination, including lung or heart issues, are possible. The retreatment approach may not work for everyone.
