What the trial is, and whether it could suit you
"This is a randomized phase II, two-arm, open label, clinical trial to identify LP-WGS ctDNA biomarker to predict T-DXd response in low-HER2 expressing advanced breast cancer patients compared with endocrine therapy. The hormone receptor (HR)-positive low-HER2 advanced breast cancer patients (HER2 IHC 1+ or 2+ \& ISH negative, n=141) who progressed on 1st line endocrine + CDK4/6 inhibitor therapy and received no other systemic therapy for advanced disease are enrolled in this study. Patients are 2:1 randomized to receive T-DXd (5.4mg/kg every 3 weeks, n=94) or endocrine therapy of physician's choice (TPC: fulvestrant, fulvestrant + alpelisib, Fulvestrant + Capivasertib, exemestane, exemestane + everolimus, or tamoxifen, n=47, fulvestrant + alpelisib can be selected in PIK3CA activating mutation positive patients, Fulvestrant + Capivasertib can be selected in 1 or More mutation positive o

📋 Eligibility rules (as published)
Inclusion Criteria:
1. Histologically or cytologically confirmed hormone receptor-positive advanced breast cancer patients
1. Have recurrent, metastatic, or unresectable disease
2. Have HER2-low expression status, defined as IHC 2+/ISH- or IHC 1+,with a validated assay by ASCO/CAP guidelines
3. Have no previous history of HER2-positive breast cancer (IHC 3+ or ISH+) by ASCO/CAP guidelines
4. The hormone receptor (HR) status is defined by ER/PR IHC nuclear staining, and ER or PgR ≥1% is defined as hormone receptor-positive status
2. Patients who progressed on 1st line endocrine + CDK4/6 inhibitor therapy for advanced breast cancer and received no other systemic therapy for advanced breast cancer. The all FDA-approved CDK4/6 inhibitors (palbociclib, ribociclib, and Abemaciclib) are allowed, and combination with aromatase inhibitors or fulvestrant are both allowed.
3. Patients who have received chemotherapy or adjuvant endocrine therapy in the neo-adjuvant or adjuvant setting are eligible.
4. Female patients with ≥19 years of age
5. Radiologic or objective evidence of disease progression on or after the last systemic therapy prior to starting study treatment
6. Patients must have at least one measurable lesion by RECIST 1.1 criteria, which was not previously irradiated or showed objective progression after irradiation to that lesion
7. Patients must have an adequate tumor tissue sample available for assessment of HER2 by central laboratory and other exploratory biomarker analyses
8. Patients with ECOG performance status 0 or 1
9. Both pre- and post-menopausal patients are eligible, and pre-menopausal patients should receive ovarian function suppression treatment (GnRH agonist injection or surgical bilateral oophorectomy) while receiving fulvestrant or aromatase inhibitor treatment in the control arm.

(Red blood cell transfusion is not allowed within 1 week prior to C1D1) b) Serum albumin: ≥ 2.5 g/dL c) International normalised ratio or Prothrombin time and either partial thromboplastin or activated partial thromboplastin time: ≤ 1.5 × ULN d) Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1500 cells/mm3

* if no liver metastases or \< 3×ULN in the presence of documented Gilbert's syndrome (unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia) or liver metastases at baseline h) AST (SGOT) ≤2.5 x ULN (5.0 x ULN if hepatic metastases) i) ALT (SGPT) ≤2.5 x ULN (5.0 x ULN if hepatic metastases)
11. 12-Lead electrocardiogram (ECG) with normal tracing or non-clinically significant changes that do not require medical intervention
12. QTc interval ≤470 msec and without history of Torsades de pointes based on average of the screening triplicate 12-lead ECG
