Radioactive bullet targets Hard-to-Treat breast cancer
NCT ID NCT07081555
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-stage trial is testing a new drug called [177Lu]Lu-ABY-271, which delivers a small dose of radiation directly to HER2-positive breast cancer cells. The study will enroll 21 people with advanced or metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer to see if the drug is safe, tolerable, and where it goes in the body. It is a first-in-human study, so the main goals are to check for side effects and find the right dose.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- a radioactive drug called [177Lu]Lu-ABY-271 that targets HER2-positive cancer cells
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could provide a new targeted treatment option for people with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer that has stopped responding to other therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early (Phase 1) trial with only 21 people, so it is primarily testing safety and dosing. The drug may not shrink tumors or may cause side effects from radiation exposure.

Inclusion Criteria: * Subject has unresectable locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer * Subject with histologically or cytologically confirmed carcinoma with documented HER2 overexpression (biopsy not older than 2 years): immunohistochemistry (IHC) score 3+; OR 2+ and fluorescence in situ hybridization (ISH) positive * At least one known tumor lesion ≥ 15 mm * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤ 2 Part A only \- Subject is in treatment, or planned to start a new line of standard systemic anti-tumor therapy Part B only * Subject has progressive disease, documented radiologically in the last three months * Subject has received at least 3 lines of standard systemic anti-tumor therapy in the palliative setting * Subject has received last dose of previous line of systemic anti-tumor therapy, and has no ongoing treatment related toxicities \> grade 1 (except alopecia) prior to planned first dose of \[177Lu\]Lu-ABY-271 Exclusion Criteria: * Active brain metastases * Administration of another IMP within 5 half-lives (for experimental biologics: 6 months or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer) of the planned first dose of \[177Lu\]Lu-ABY-271 * Exposure to any anti-tumor therapy since the last documented progression, including any radiotherapy within 7 days prior to the planned first dose of \[177Lu\]Lu-ABY-271
