Smartwatch and app join fight against metastatic breast cancer
NCT ID NCT07371585
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests the drug trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) as a first treatment for people with HER2-positive breast cancer that has spread. About 300 participants will take the drug and use digital tools like a smartwatch and pulse oximeter to catch side effects early. The goal is to see if this approach helps control the cancer and improves quality of life.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could confirm T-DXd as an effective first-line treatment for HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer, potentially improving how long patients live without needing other therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is a Phase 2, single-arm study without a comparison group, so results may not prove superiority over current standards. Side effects like lung inflammation (ILD) are a known risk with T-DXd.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Able to understand the nature of the study and to voluntarily provide written informed consent prior to any trial-specific screening procedures and has sufficient cognitive capacity to comply with study requirements, including the use of digital health tools and devices. 2. Male/female patients who are at least 18 years of age on the day of signing informed consent. 3. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-2. 4. Histologically or cytologically locally confirmed HR+/HER2+ or HR-/HER2+ BC with evidence of locally advanced disease, not amenable to resection or radiation therapy with curative intent, or metastatic disease: 1. HER2-positivity confirmed in a tumor sample obtained in the metastatic setting, defined as either IHC 3+ or in situ hybridization positive (ISH+) by local laboratory assessment as per the most recent American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO)-College of American Pathologists Guideline (CAP) guideline. The most recent test result prior screening period will be used to confirm eligibility. 2. Documented HR (ER and/or PR) positivity or negativity, confirmed by local laboratory assessment in a tumor sample obtained in the metastatic setting. ER and/or PR positivity is defined as \>1% of cells expressing HR via IHC analysis as per most recent ASCO-CAP guideline. The most recent test result prior screening period will be used to confirm eligibility. 5. No prior chemotherapy or HER2-targeted therapy for advanced or mBC (1 prior line of endocrine therapy is allowed for mBC). Participants who have received chemotherapy or HER2-targeted therapy in the neoadjuvant or adjuvant setting at any time are eligible. Note: Patients that received an antibody-drug conjugate containing an exatecan derivative (topoisomerase I inhibitor) in the adjuvant setting, must have a disease-free interval of ≥12 months since the last dose. 6. Evaluable disease as defined by RECIST v1.1. Note: Previously irradiated lesions can be considered as measurable disease only if disease progression has been unequivocally documented at that site since radiation. 7. Adequate FFPE tumor tissue sample available from the metastatic setting (preferably) for retrospective HER2 central analysis confirmed by central laboratory. An adequate sample of tumor tissue must be provided from either a newly acquired biopsy from a region that has not been previously irradiated or the most recent archival sample. 8. Patients with Brain Metastases (BM): Eligible if either previously untreated or previously treated BM, provided there is no clinical indication for immediate local therapy. For untreated BM, lesions must be ≤2.0 cm in largest diameter; lesions \>2.0 cm require discussion with and approval from the Medical Monitor. Patients must not require \>3 mg/day of dexamethasone (or equivalent corticosteroid) for symptom control. If receiving anticonvulsants, the regimen must be stable for ≥14 days prior to first dose. A washout period prior enrollment of ≥3 weeks since stereotactic radiosurgery or gamma knife, whole-brain radiotherapy, or radiotherapy or surgery for spinal cord compression is required. Note: Patients with leptomeningeal disease may be eligible after discussion with the Medical Monitor. 9. Adequate hematologic and end-organ function, defined by the following laboratory results (see protocol) 10. LVEF ≥ 50% within 28 days before Cycle 1 Day 1. 11. Life expectancy of ≥ 12 weeks at screening. 12. Adequate treatment washout period before first dose of study intervention, defined as (see protocol) 13. Male patients and female patients of childbearing potential who engage in heterosexual intercourse must agree to use protocol-specified highly effective method of contraception. 14. Access to a smartphone with internet connection that allows them to carry out the required assessments at the specified timepoints and with the following characteristics: * Resilience PRO: Android 8.0 (or newer) OR iOS 15.0 (or newer) * Cankado PRO-React: Android 13.0 (or newer) OR iOS 17.0 (or newer) 15. Only applicable in France: patients affiliated to the social security system. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patients with HER2-negative disease. 2. Subjects who, in the opinion of the investigator, are unable to comply with the protocol requirements or who have any comorbidity or condition that may hinder study follow-up, response evaluation, or the informed consent process, including inability to read and understand the local language of the study site sufficiently to interact effectively with study materials and tools (including digital applications). Note: Other languages for app-based questionnaires may be provided upon patient request and based on availability of such questionnaires and tools. 3. History of other primary malignancy unless treated with curative intent with no evidence of active disease within 3 years before the first dose of study treatment and of low potential risk for recurrence. Exceptions include: basal cell carcinoma of the skin and squamous cell carcinoma of the skin that has undergone potentially curative therapy, adequately resected non-melanoma skin cancer, in situ cancer of the cervix, curatively treated ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), contralateral breast cancer, Stage 1, grade 1 endometrial carcinoma or other solid malignant tumors with an expected curative outcome after Medical Monitor approval. 4. Persistent toxicities that the investigator deems related to previous anti-cancer therapy (excluding alopecia), not yet resolved to grade ≤ 1 or baseline. Participants with irreversible toxicity that is not reasonably expected to be exacerbated by study treatment may be included (e.g., hearing loss). Participants with stable Grade 2 toxicities (defined as no worsening to \>Grade 2 for at least 3 months prior to enrollment and managed with standard of care treatment) may be eligible per the discretion of the investigator (e.g., Grade 2 chemotherapy-induced neuropathy). 5. Untreated spinal cord compression 6. History of significant cardiovascular disease, defined as: * New York Heart Association Class III or greater congestive heart failure or known left ventricular ejection fraction of \< 50%. * Participants with a medical history of myocardial infarction within 6 months before enrollment or symptomatic CHF (NYHA Class II to IV). Participants with troponin levels above upper limit of normal (ULN) at screening (as defined by the manufacturer), and without any myocardial related symptoms, should have a cardiologic consultation before enrollment to rule out myocardial infarction. * History of serious ventricular arrhythmia (ie, ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation), high-grade atrioventricular block, or other cardiac arrhythmias requiring antiarrhythmic medications (except for atrial fibrillation that is well controlled with antiarrhythmic medication); history of QT interval prolongation (Mean resting corrected QTcF interval \>470ms (females) or \>450msec (males)). Note: Participants with atrial fibrillation controlled by medication or arrhythmias controlled by pacemakers may be permitted upon discussion with the Medical Monitor. 7. History of (non-infectious) ILD/pneumonitis that required steroids, has current ILD/pneumonitis, or where suspected ILD/pneumonitis cannot be ruled out by imaging at screening. Patients with a history of grade 1 drug-induced ILD/pneumonitis, who are now fully recovered, must be discussed with the Medical Monitor for approval. 8. Meets one of the following lung criteria: * Lung-specific intercurrent clinically significant illnesses including, but not limited to, any underlying pulmonary disorder (e.g., pulmonary emboli within 3 months of study enrollment, prior pneumonectomy (complete), severe asthma, severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD), restrictive lung disease, pleural effusion, post COVID-19 pulmonary fibrosis, etc,). * Any autoimmune, connective tissue or inflammatory disorders (eg, rheumatoid arthritis, Sjogren's, sarcoidosis, etc.) where there is documented, or a suspicion of pulmonary involvement at the time of screening. Full details of the disorder should be recorded in the electronic Case Report Form (eCRF) for participants who are included in the study. 9. Received a live, attenuated vaccine (mRNA and replication deficient adenoviral vaccines are not considered attenuated live vaccines) within 30 days prior to the first dose of study treatment. Note: Patients, if enrolled, should not receive live vaccine during the study and up to 30 days after the last dose of study treatment. 10. Active serious infection requiring IV antibiotics, antivirals, or antifungals. 11. Active HIV, HBV (defined as having a positive HbsAg test) or HCV. 1. Participants with a known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are eligible, if viral load is undetectable for ≥ 6 months prior to enrollment, and subjects are receiving effective anti-retroviral HIV therapy, if indicated. HIV testing is not required for subjects without a known history of HIV, unless mandated by a local health authority. 2. For patients with a known history of HBV infection, a hepatitis B core antibody test should be conducted at screening. If positive, hepatitis B DNA testing will be performed and if active HBV infection is ruled out, the patient may be eligible. 3. Patients who are HCV antibody positive with polymerase chain reaction negative for HCV RNA may be eligible 12. Other concurrent medical or psychiatric conditions that, in the investigator's opinion, may be likely to confound study interpretation or prevent completion of study procedures and follow-up examinations. 13. Received prior chemotherapy or HER2-targeted therapy for advanced or mBC. 14. Prior exposure in the adjuvant setting to an antibody-drug conjugate containing an exatecan derivative (topoisomerase I inhibitor), with a disease-free interval of less than 12 months since the last dose 15. Requirement for ongoing therapy with or prior use of any prohibited medications. 16. Participation in other studies involving investigational drug(s) within 30 days prior to enrollment or within 5 half-lives of the investigational drug(s) (whichever is longer), or participation in any other type of medical research judged not to be scientifically or medically compatible with this trial. If the patient is enrolled or planned to be enrolled in another study that does not involve an investigational drug, the agreement of the Medical Monitor is required to establish eligibility. 17. Known hypersensitivity or allergy to T-DXd, their metabolites, formulation excipient, or other monoclonal antibodies. 18. Positive serum pregnancy test or women who are lactating. 19. Only applicable in France: patients deprived of their liberty or under protective custody or guardianship.
