Real-world study reveals optimal strategies for breast cancer patients resistant to leading drugs
NCT ID NCT07587983
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 220 women with HER2-low advanced breast cancer whose disease progressed after antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) therapy. Researchers compared different follow-up treatments, such as other ADCs, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, or immunotherapy, to see which worked best. The goal is to help doctors choose the most effective next step for these patients.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * females aged ≥18 years. * confirmed pathologic diagnosis of HER2-low MBC (defined as HER2 IHC 1+ or 2+ without gene amplification by FISH detection). * patients had disease progression following ADC treatment in advanced setting and had undergone at least one available efficacy evaluation. * patients received at least one subsequent anti-tumor treatment following ADC failure, with at least one available efficacy evaluation. Exclusion Criteria: * patients previously treated with ADC during neoadjuvant or adjuvant setting. * patients who had not experienced disease progression on their first ADC (ADC1) regimen and remained on ADC1 treatment. * patients with no documented subsequent anti-tumor therapy following ADC1 treatment. * patients who lacked evaluable efficacy assessment data during ADC1 or post-ADC therapy. * patients with incomplete clinicopathological information.
