DB-Guide

Brief Summary
This study will evaluate a structured sequential treatment strategy starting with T-DXd + pertuzumab upfront therapy, followed by an optimized maintenance therapy with dual HER2+blockade + CDK4/6i + ET and the opportunity to retreat with T-DXd once patients progress under maintenance aimed to maximizing disease control, optimizing tolerability, and preserving T-DXd as a future therapeutic option, while ensuring participant safety and regulatory compliance in participants with HER2+/HR+ advanced/metastatic breast cancer.

Study Arms (1)
T-DXd
EXPERIMENTALAdult participants with previously untreated advanced or metastatic HER2+/HR+ breast cancer who will receive T-DXd intravenously every 3 weeks (IV Q3W) in 3 treatment phases: Upfront treatment phase: T-DXd + pertuzumab IV Q3W Maintenance treatment phase: Trastuzumab + palbociclib + endocrine therapy + pertuzumab IV Q3W T-DXD retreatment phase: T-DXd monotherapy IV Q3W
Interventions
Upfront treatment: One IV infusion Q3W 5.4 mg/kg (starting dose) on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle T-DXd Retreatment: One IV infusion Q3W 5.4 mg/kg (starting dose) on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle \*Dose reductions implemented during Upfront treatment phase will be maintained.
Maintenance treatment: One IV infusion Q3W 6 mg/kg on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle
Upfront treatment: One IV infusion Q3W loading dose of 840 mg, then 420 mg Q3W thereafter on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle Maintenance treatment: One IV infusion Q3W 420 mg on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle
Aromatase inhibitors or fulvestrant administered as approved product label
Maintenance treatment: Daily (3 out of 4 weeks, Q4W) oral 125 mg
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Sign and date the Main Trial informed consent form (ICF), prior to the start of any trial-specific procedures.
- Participant must be ≥18 years of age at the time the ICF is signed.
- Have pathologically documented breast cancer that:
- Is locally advanced and unresectable or metastatic (participants who can be treated with curative intent are not eligible).
- Participant must have histologically confirmed HER2+ and HR+ (ER+ and/or PR+), mBC. ER, PR, and HER2 measurements should be locally performed according to institutional guidelines.
- Is documented by local testing as HR-positive (either ER and/or PgR positive \[ER or PgR ≥1%\]) per ASCO/CAP guidelines in the metastatic setting or from the primary tumor with the latest sample available.
- Has not received prior chemotherapy or HER2-targeted therapy for mBC. Participant who has received chemotherapy or HER2-targeted therapy or radiotherapy or surgery in the neoadjuvant or adjuvant setting are eligible, with a DFI of \>6 months (\>183 days) from completion of systemic chemotherapy or any HER2-targeted therapy (antibody, TKI or T-DM1) to diagnosis of advanced or metastatic disease.
- ECOG PS of 0 or 1 assessed no more than 3 days prior to initiation of trial intervention.
- Has at least 1 lesion, not previously irradiated, that can be measured accurately at baseline as ≥10 mm in the longest diameter (except lymph nodes, which must have short axis ≥15 mm) with CT or MRI, which is suitable for accurate repeated measurements, or nonmeasurable, bone-only disease that can be assessed by CT, MRI, or X-ray.
- Participant with brain metastases are allowed if participant is asymptomatic and does not require immediate local intervention.
- Additional Key Criteria to Transition into the Maintenance Treatment Phase
- Participant is without evidence of disease progression under T-DXd + pertuzumab treatment by local assessment according to RECIST v1.1 (ie, CR, PR, or SD), and
- Participant is willing to switch therapy, and
- Participant completed at least 8 cycles of T-DXd + pertuzumab and achieved cCR (confirmation of CR should be obtained during the next protocol defined scheduled tumor assessment.), or
- Participant completed 18 cycles (in total) of T-DXd and achieved a SD or PR, and the last 2 scans showed no further tumor shrinkage (defined as 2 subsequent scans at least 6 weeks apart) or has an unconfirmed CR.
- +4 more criteria
You may not qualify if:
- Has prior therapy with any CDK inhibitor.
- Previous T-DXd therapy for early BC with an EFS or disease-free interval of \< 12 months from completion of T-DXd therapy in the neoadjuvant or post-neoadjuvant setting.
- Is receiving concurrent therapy with other trial interventions (except pertuzumab which is part of Upfront Treatment and Maintenance Treatment).
- Has prior therapy with any CDK inhibitor.
- Has any unresolved SAE related to prior T-DXd + pertuzumab treatment from the Upfront Treatment Phase, defined as an event that has not resolved to baseline by the time of the eligibility assessment for the Maintenance Treatment Phase.
- Has experienced Grade 3 or 4 ILD/pneumonitis during the Upfront Treatment Phase.
- Has spinal cord compression or clinically active CNS metastases, defined as untreated or symptomatic, or requiring therapy with corticosteroids or anticonvulsants to control associated symptoms.
- Participant who developed ILD/pneumonitis Grade ≥2 during the Upfront Treatment Phase or Maintenance Treatment Phase.
- Participant has any unresolved SAE related to prior Maintenance Treatment Phase therapies defined as an event that has not resolved to baseline by the time of the eligibility assessment for the T-DXd Retreatment Phase.
- Participant who developed non-ILD toxicities related to T-DXd in the Upfront Treatment Phase that required T-DXd discontinuation.
