Brief summary

This study will compare DS-8201a to physician choice standard treatment. Participants must have HER2-low breast cancer that has been treated before. Participants' cancer: * Cannot be removed by an operation * Has spread to other parts of the body

Detailed description

This is a randomized, 2-arm, Phase 3, open-label, multicenter study to compare the safety and efficacy of trastuzumab deruxtecan versus the physician's choice (2:1) in HER2-low, unresectable and/or metastatic breast cancer participants. The Sponsor proposes to define a new HER2-low population in this trial including tumors with IHC 1+ and IHC 2+/ISH- HER2 expression.

Progression-free Survival (PFS) Based on Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR) in the Hormone Receptor-Positive Cohort in Participants With HER2-low Breast Cancer

Progression-free survival (PFS), defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, was assessed from the date of randomization to the date of the first radiographic disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever came first. PFS was based on blinded independent central review (BICR) in the hormone receptor-positive cohort according to modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (mRECIST) version 1.1. Median PFS was from Kaplan-Meier analysis. Confidence interval for median was computed using the Brookmeyer-Crowley method.

Time frame: From the date of randomization to the earliest date of the first objective documentation of radiographic disease progression or death due to any cause, up to approximately 3 years

Population: Progression-free survival (PFS) was assessed in the Hormone Receptor-Positive cohort of Full Analysis Set.

Progression-free Survival Based on Investigator Assessment in Participants With HER2-low Breast Cancer (All Patients)

Progression-free survival (PFS), defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, was assessed from the date of randomization to the date of the first radiographic disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever came first. PFS was based on investigator assessment according to modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (mRECIST) version 1.1. Median PFS was from Kaplan-Meier analysis. Confidence interval for median was computed using the Brookmeyer-Crowley method.

Time frame: From the date of randomization to the earliest date of the first objective documentation of radiographic disease progression or death due to any cause, up to approximately 3 years

Population: Progression-free survival (PFS) was assessed in the Full Analysis Set.

Progression-free Survival (PFS) Based on Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR) in Participants With HER2-low Breast Cancer (All Patients) Regardless of Hormone Receptor Status

Progression-free survival (PFS), defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, was assessed from the date of randomization to the date of the first radiographic disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever came first. PFS was based on blinded independent central review (BICR) according to modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (mRECIST) version 1.1. Median PFS was from Kaplan-Meier analysis.

All-Cause Mortality

All-cause mortality is defined as all anticipated and unanticipated deaths due to any cause, with the number and frequency of such events by arm or comparison group of the clinical study.

Time frame: From the date of randomization up to the date of death due to any cause, up to approximately 3 years

Population: All-cause mortality was assessed in the Safety Analysis Set.
