Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Time From the Start of T-DXd to Initiation of Subsequent Anticancer Treatment (TTNT)
TTNT is defined as the time interval from the date of first dose of T-DXd to the initiation of the next anticancer treatment or death due to any cause.
Until subsequent therapy or death, assessed up to 24 months
Secondary Outcomes (14)
Real-World Progression Free Survival (PFS)
Until progression or death, assessed up to 24 months
Time From Start of T-DXd to Discontinuation of T-DXd or Death (TTD)
Until treatment discontinuation or death, up to 24 months
Objective Response Rate (ORR)
Until progression, assessed up to 24 months
Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)
Up to follow up period, up to 24 months
Mean Change from Baseline in European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaires (EORTC-QLQ)-C30 Score

Study Arms (4)
Cohort 1: HR-negative, HER2-low
EXPERIMENTALParticipants with HR-negative HER2-low unresectable and/or metastatic breast cancer who have received at least one and at most two prior lines of therapy in the metastatic setting will receive T-DXd.
Cohort 2: HR-negative, HER2 IHC 0
EXPERIMENTALParticipants with HR-negative HER2 IHC 0 unresectable and/or metastatic breast cancer who have received at least one and at most two prior lines of therapy in the metastatic setting will receive T-DXd.
Cohort 3: HR-positive, HER2-low
EXPERIMENTALParticipants with HR-positive HER2-low unresectable and/or metastatic breast cancer who have received at least one and at most two prior lines of therapy in the metastatic setting will receive T-DXd. Participants must also have recurrent disease \<2 years from the initiation of adjuvant ET or have disease progression on CDK4/6 inhibitor-based regimen within 12 months of completion of adjuvant therapy with a CDK4/6 inhibitor or have disease progression within the first 12 months of CDK4/6 in the first line metastatic setting.
Cohort 4: HR-positive, HER2 IHC 0
EXPERIMENTALParticipants with HR-positive HER2 IHC 0 unresectable and/or metastatic breast cancer who have received at least one and at most two prior lines of therapy in the metastatic setting will receive T-DXd.
Interventions

- Active primary immunodeficiency, known uncontrolled active human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, or active hepatitis B or C infection.
- Has history of receiving a live, attenuated vaccine (messenger RNA and replication-deficient adenoviral vaccines are not considered attenuated live vaccines) within 30 days prior to the first exposure to study drug.
- Has unresolved toxicities from previous anticancer therapy, defined as toxicities (other than alopecia) not yet resolved to Grade ≤1 or baseline.
- Is pregnant or breastfeeding or planning to become pregnant.
