Brief Summary
The goal of this national, multicenter single arm phase II clinical trial is to study the efficacy, safety and tolerability of the administration of Trastuzumab Deruxtecan (T-DXd) in HER2-positive locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients resistant to trastuzumab plus pertuzumab plus taxane due to early relapse. The main questions it aims to answer are:
- To evaluate the antitumor activity of T-DXd in the first-line treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer patients resistant to trastuzumab-pertuzumab based therapy.
- To assess other efficacy measures.
- To evaluate safety and tolerability in all patients enrolled in the study.
- To evaluate health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Forty-one evaluable patients will be treated with trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) 5.4 mg/kg IV every 3 weeks (± 3 days). Patients will receive T-DXd until unacceptable toxicity, progressive disease, informed consent withdrawal, or other discontinuation criterion is met.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Objective Response Rate (ORR)
Objective Response Rate (ORR) is defined as the rate of complete response (CR) plus partial response (PR) based on the investigator's assessment using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1., out of the patients who received at least 1 dose of treatment (efficacy population). Per RECIST, CR is defined as the disappearance of all target lesions; PR is defined as an \>=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions. The ORR will be reported, including a 95% Confidence Interval (CI) using the Clopper-Pearson method. A sensitivity analysis will be performed using the Intent to treat population (ITT) population.

Study Arms (1)
Trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd)
EXPERIMENTALAll patients enrolled will be treated with trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) 5.4 mg/kg IV every 3 weeks (± 3 days). The subject's weight at baseline will be used to calculate the initial dose. If during the course of treatment the subject's weight changes by ± 10% of the baseline weight, the subject's dose will be recalculated based on the subject's updated weight. Patients will receive T-DXd until unacceptable toxicity, progressive disease (PD), informed consent withdrawal, or other discontinuation criterion is met.

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Written and signed informed consent obtained prior to any study-specific procedure.
- Male or female patients of at least 18 years of age.
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status ≤ 1.
- Life expectancy ≥ 12 weeks.
- Recurrent breast cancer that is unresectable locally advanced or metastatic.
- Pathologically documented HER2-positive status by local laboratory determination, preferably on the most recent available Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor sample, according to the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO)/College of American Pathologists (CAP) international guidelines valid at the time of the assay. In case of discordance in HER2 status in different biopsies, the result from the most recent biopsy will be used.
- Pathologically documented Hormone Receptor (HR)-positive or -negative by local laboratory determination, preferably on the most recent available FFPE tumor sample, and according to ASCO/CAP international guidelines valid at the time of the assay. In case of discordance in HR status in different biopsies, the result from the most recent biopsy will be used.
- Prior anti-HER2 based therapy (with trastuzumab plus pertuzumab plus taxane with or without trastuzumab-emtansine) in the (neo)adjuvant setting with a relapse while on therapy or within 12 months from the end of last anti-HER2 therapy.
- Measurable disease assessed by the investigator based on RECIST version 1.1.
- Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 50% measured by multiple-gated acquisition scan (MUGA) or echocardiogram (ECHO).
- Adequate organ and marrow function defined as follows:
- Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) ≥ 1,500/mm3 (1.5x109/L).
- Platelet count ≥ 100,000/mm3 (100x109/L).
- Hemoglobin ≥ 9g/dL (90g/L).
- Creatinine clearance ≥ 30 mL/min as calculated using the standard method for the institution.

Full details of the disorder should be recorded in the electronic Case Report Form (eCRF) for patients who are enrolled in the study.
- Prior pneumonectomy.
- Medical history of myocardial infarction within 6 months before registration, symptomatic congestive heart failure (CHF), troponin levels consistent with myocardial infarction as defined according to American College of Cardiologists (ACC) guidelines, unstable angina, or serious cardiac arrhythmia requiring treatment. QT interval corrected using Fridericia's formula (QTcF) \> 470 msec (females) or \> 450 msec (males) based on average of the screening triplicate 12-lead ECG.
- History of active primary immunodeficiency, known Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), active Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) or Hepatitis C Virus (HCV).
- Patients who received before treatment starts:
- Any investigational agent within 4 weeks.
- Chemotherapy within a period of time that is shorter than the cycle duration used for that treatment (e.g. \< 3 weeks for fluorouracil, doxorubicine, epirubicin or \< 1 week for weekly chemotherapy).
- Targeted therapy (e.g., antibodies): up to 4 weeks prior to starting study treatment.
- +15 more criteria
