NCT ID NCT04517838

Summary
This study collects blood and tumor samples from 230 adults with HER2-positive breast cancer (stages I-IV) who are starting anti-HER2 drugs like trastuzumab. Researchers want to see how the immune system reacts to these treatments. The goal is to learn more, not to test a new therapy.
