Conditions

HER2-positive Metastatic Breast Cancer

Brief summary

This study will assess whether a quantitative, HER2 assay can accurately and reliably discriminate between responders and non-responders among patients with HER2 IHCI+ metastatic breast cancer who are receiving T-Dxd.

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TESTCE-10-IVD

Leftover tumor tissue from a routine biopsy will be sent for analysis.

Inclusion criteria

* Women and men age \> 18 years * Metastatic breast cancer, histologically- confirmed. Any estrogen receptor (ER) status is allowed. ER status will be determined by local laboratory assessment utilizing ASCO/CAP guidelines. * Primary and/or metastatic tumor with 1+ level of expression of HER2 by immunohistochemistry as determined by local laboratory assessment utilizing ASCO/CAP guidelines. * Measurable disease by cross-sectional imaging at the start of treatment. Patients with measurable bone-only disease or active brain metastases are eligible. * Archival tissue available for biomarker assessment. One specimen should be the most recent metastatic biopsy. If HER2 1+ status was determined on a different specimen (either primary or metastatic tissue), that specimen is also required. Samples obtained from bone metastases that were processed via decalcification methods are not eligible. * Intention to initiate therapy with T-DXd (Enhertu) at FDA-approved dose and schedule as next line of therapy. If T-DXd was already initiated, patients must be registered within 30 days of initiation. * Ability to provide informed consent

Exclusion criteria

* Concurrent Her2-overexpressing metastatic breast cancer (as confirmed by a metastatic biopsy with IHC 3+ or IHC 2+ with FISH amplified as per standard ASCO/CAP guidelines)

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Real-World Objective Response Ratefrom date of first dose of T-DXd to date of last dose of T-DXd for each. Up to 100 monthsAssociation between quantitative HER2 expression (as a continuous variable) and real-world objective response rate

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Real-World Progression Free Survivalfrom date of first dose of T-DXd to date of last dose of T-DXd for each.Up to 100 monthsAssociation between quantitative HER2 expression (as a continuous variable) and real world Progression Free Survival
Real-World Progression Free Survival and Objective Response Rate by estrogen receptor expressionfrom date of first dose of T-DXd to date of last dose of T-DXd for each. Up to 100 monthsAssociation between HER2 expression by quantitative immunofluorescence and mRNA in HER2 IHC 1+ tumors and both rwORR and rwPFS, stratified by mRNA ER expression
Threshold for HER2 QIF and/or mRNA levelsfrom date of first dose of T-DXd to date of last dose of T-DXd for each. Up to 100 monthscut-off value for HER2 QIF, mRNA and the combination below which patients will not respond to T-DXd."
Association between combined mRNA + QIF and real-world Objective Response Ratefrom date of first dose of T-DXd to date of last dose of T-DXd for each. Up to 100 monthsComparison, based on rwORR, of a linear combination of HER2 QIF and mRNA, versus either alone in ability to discriminate T-DXd responders from non- responders
