New hope for advanced breast cancer: A166 takes on T-DM1 in head-to-head trial
NCT ID NCT06968585
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This phase 3 trial compares a new drug called A166 to the standard drug T-DM1 in about 365 people with HER2-positive breast cancer that cannot be removed by surgery or has spread to other parts of the body. Participants must have already been treated with trastuzumab and a taxane. The main goal is to see if A166 can delay cancer growth better than T-DM1.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Male or female patient ≥ 18 years and ≤ 75 years when signing the informed consent form. 2. Breast cancer patients by histopathology and/or cytology documented. 3. Disease progression after receiving a trastuzumab-based regimen (or a commercially available trastuzumab biosimilar or inetetamab) in the advanced or metastatic setting, or disease progression/recurrence within 12 months during or after (neo)adjuvant therapy (with a trastuzumab-based regimen or commercially available trastuzumab biosimilar). 4. Have previously received taxanes. 5. Patients must have experienced disease progression or intolerance during or after the most recent treatment prior to randomization. 6. At least one measurable lesion according to RECIST 1.1 criteria Exclusion Criteria: 1. Previous treatment with A166 or any HER2-targeted antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) with a microtubule inhibitor payload. 2. Known history of severe hypersensitivity to other monoclonal antibodies, or allergy to A166 , T-DM1 (trastuzumab emtansine) or their components. 3. Permanent discontinuation of trastuzumab or its biosimilars due to any toxicity in prior treatments. 4. Presence of severe corneal epithelial disease at baseline; or inability to perform daily activities without contact lenses. 5. Presence of spinal cord compression or clinically active central nervous system (CNS) metastases. 6. Other conditions considered by the investigator to make the patient unsuitable for participation in the study
