NCT05919212

Brief Summary

This is a prospective single-center pilot study phase II non randomized designed to explore the role of liquid biopsy in metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer patients treated with Trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-Dxd) as second line treatment according to international guidelines. All eligible patients to T-Dxd as second line treatment will receive T-Dxd intravenous at dose of 5,4 mg/kg every three weeks until progression disease or unacceptable toxicities. Subjects eligible to T-Dxd, who agree to participate in the study, will undergo serial blood samples for liquid biopsy (LB) until progression disease. The timing of blood drawing will be scheduled as follows: At each T-DXd administration for the first four cycles of T-Dxd (every three weeks). The next blood drawings will be done every three cycles of T-Dxd (every 9 weeks) until the thirteenth cycle. The next blood drawings will be done every six cycles of T-Dxd (every 18 weeks) until progression disease (documented by medical imaging) For all enrolled patients with available tumour tissue from primary diagnosis or last biopsy from recurrence, tissue samples will be requested for exploratory analysis.

Conditions

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Alterations associated with resistent to Trastuzumab Deruxtecan

    To dynamically assess circulating alterations associated with resistance to Trastuzumab Deruxtecan (T-DXd) including changes of the HER2 status by a novel approach named HER2-2D that simultaneously assesses HER2 amplification and (over)expression in blood.

    4 years

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Molecular stratification of patients (dynamic approach by Liquid Biopsy, LB);

    4 years

  • Lead Time assessment by Liquid Biopsy.

    4 years

  • Association between HER2-2D and outcome in terms of progression.

    4 years

Other Outcomes (2)

  • To evaluate the safety and tolerability of T-Dxd

    4 years

  • To evaluate the concordance or not between mutations discovered at baseline liquid biopsy and tissue extraction mutations from primary or last available tumor tissue

    4 years

Study Arms (1)

Patients with HER2 positive Breast cancer Stage IV

EXPERIMENTAL

All eligible patients to T-Dxd as second line treatment will receive T-Dxd intravenous at dose of 5,4 mg/kg every three weeks until progression disease or unacceptable toxicities. Subjects eligible to T-Dxd and who agree to participate in the study will undergo serial blood samples for liquid biopsy (LB) until progression disease.

Diagnostic Test: HER2-D is the use of a non-invasive liquid biopsy method to non-invasively and objectively assess HER2 status at recruitment

Interventions

We study the circulating changes associated with resistance to T-DXd, including changes in HER2 status,studied through a new approach called HER2-2D that simultaneously assesses HER2 amplification and overexpression in blood

Patients with HER2 positive Breast cancer Stage IV

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Must be competent and able to comprehend, sign, and date informed consent prior to any study specific procedures;
  • Male or female subjects age ≥ 18 years;
  • Subjects with histologically or cytologically proven diagnosis of adenocarcinoma of the breast with evidence of either locally advanced disease not amenable to resection or radiation therapy with curative intent or metastatic disease not amenable to curative therapy;
  • Subjects must have confirmed, per local testing on most recent tumor tissue sample available, an HER2-positive expression, as determined according to American Society of Clinical Oncology - College of American Pathologists guidelines (as defined in the 2013 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) recommendations for HER2 testing \[7\]) with any ER and/or PgR tumor status;
  • Subjects must have received no more than one line of treatment including trastuzumab plus or not pertuzumab associated to taxane in the advanced/metastatic setting or progressed within 6 months after neoadjuvant or adjuvant treatment involving a regimen including trastuzumab and taxane;
  • Documented radiologic progression (during or after most recent treatment or within 6 months after completing adjuvant therapy);
  • Presence of at least 1 measurable lesion per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 (see Appendix A)
  • Non measurable (evaluable) bone-only disease are eligible. Evaluable bone-only disease must include at least one lytic bone lesion or a mixed lytic-blastic bone lesion; blastic only metastases are not allowed. Subjects who have had prior radiation to bone must have at least one evaluable lesion in a non-irradiated area. Patients with lesions identified only on radionucleotide bone scan are not eligible;
