Simple blood test could guide breast cancer treatment
NCT ID NCT07670182
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a blood test can predict how well the drug deruxtepruzumab works in people with advanced breast cancer that has low or ultra-low levels of a protein called HER2. Researchers will track cancer cells and HER2 levels in the blood of 100 patients during treatment. The goal is to see if these blood markers can help doctors personalize therapy.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Deruxtepruzumab (also called T-DXd, an anti-HER2 antibody-drug conjugate)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors use a simple blood test to decide which patients are most likely to benefit from deruxtepruzumab, making treatment more personalized.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage observational study with only 100 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The blood test may not reliably predict treatment response.
