Summary

This study tests a drug called trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) against the usual treatment (a CDK4/6 inhibitor plus hormone therapy) for people with a certain type of advanced breast cancer. The cancer must be hormone receptor-positive, HER2-low or ultralow, and have a specific gene pattern called non-luminal. About 200 participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatments to see which works better at delaying cancer growth.

Resolution of all acute toxic effects of prior anti-cancer therapy to Grade ≤ 1 as determined by the US National Cancer Institute (NCI)-Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0 (v.5.0) (except for alopecia or other toxicities not considered a safety risk for the patient at investigator's discretion). 15. Women of childbearing potential who are sexually active with a non-sterilized male partner must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 14 days before study treatment initiation. In addition, they must agree to use one highly effective method of birth control from the time of screening until 7 months after the last dose of T-DXd, or within the time period specified per local prescribing guidelines after the final dose of physician's choice of CDK4/6i plus ET. Female patients must refrain from egg cell donation and breastfeeding during this same period. 16. Male participants who are sexually active with a female partner of childbearing potential must be surgically sterile or using an acceptable method of contraception from the time of screening until 4 months after the last dose of T-DXd, or within the time period specified per local prescribing guidelines after the final dose of physician's choice of CDK4/6i plus ET. Male participants must not donate or bank sperm during this same period. 17. Patients must be accessible for treatment and follow-up. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Current participation in another therapeutic clinical trial, except other translational studies. 2. Treatment with approved or investigational cancer therapy within 3 weeks prior to initiation of study drug. 3. Treatment with chloroquine/hydroxychloroquine within 14 days prior to initiation of study drug. 4. Have previously been treated with T-DXd and/or fulvestrant. Note: patients who experienced relapse after more than 1 year from completion of fulvestrant are eligible. Note I: previous treatment with anti-HER2 therapies in (neo-) adjuvant setting will be allowed for participants who showed conversion from HER2-positive expression in primary breast tumor sample to HER2-low or HER2-ultralow expression (HER2 loss) in relapsed tumor sample. 5. Patients with advanced, symptomatic, visceral spread, that are at risk of life-threatening complications in the short term (including patients with massive uncontrolled effusions \[pleural, pericardial, and/or peritoneal\] and pulmonary lymphangitis). 6. Impairment of gastro-intestinal (GI) function or GI disease that may significantly alter the absorption of CDK4/6i, such as history of GI surgery which may result in intestinal blind loops and patients with clinically significant gastroparesis, short bowel syndrome, unresolved nausea, vomiting, active inflammatory bowel disease, or diarrhea of CTCAE Grade \> 1. 7. Known central nervous system (CNS) involvement (brain metastases and/or leptomeningeal carcinomatosis). Subjects with clinically inactive brain metastases may be included in the study. Subjects with treated brain metastases that are no longer symptomatic and who require no treatment with corticosteroids or anticonvulsants may be included in the study if they have recovered from the acute toxic effect of radiotherapy. 8. Have a concurrent malignancy or malignancy within 5 years of study enrollment with the exception of carcinoma in situ of the cervix and basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin that has been previously treated with curative intent. For other cancers considered to have a low risk of recurrence, discussion with the Sponsor's Medical Monitor is required. 9.
