Brief summary

Researchers want to learn if patritumab deruxtecan (MK-1022) can treat certain breast cancers. The breast cancers being studied are HER2 positive unresectable locally advanced or metastatic (the cancer has spread to other parts of the body). The goals of this study are to learn: * About the safety and how well people tolerate of patritumab deruxtecan * How many people have the cancer respond (get smaller or go away) to treatment

The following countries will be participating in the trial: Canada, United Kingdom, Israel, Japan, South Korea, and USA.

Inclusion criteria

The main inclusion criteria include but are not limited to the following: * Has histologically confirmed HER2+ locally advanced unresectable breast cancer or metastatic breast cancer * Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected participants must have well-controlled HIV on antiretroviral therapy (ART) * Participants who are hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) positive are eligible if they have received HBV antiviral therapy for at least 4 weeks, and have undetectable hepatitis B virus (HBV) viral load before allocation * Participants with history of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection are eligible if HCV viral load is undetectable * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0 to 1 within 7 days before start of study intervention Arm 1: * Has received at least a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 5 prior lines of anti-HER2 therapy in the locally advanced or metastatic setting * Had disease progression on or after any previous trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) treatment Arm 2: -Has received no more than 5 prior lines of anti-HER2 therapy in the locally advanced or metastatic setting Arm 3: -Has received and had disease progression from T-DXd treatment in any setting and a maximum of 3 prior lines of anti-HER2 therapy in the locally advanced or metastatic setting. T-DXd must be the most recent therapy received before enrollment.

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Participants with One or More Adverse Events (AEs)Up to approximately 13 monthsAn AE is defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, disease, or worsening of preexisting condition temporally associated with study treatment and irrespective of causality to study treatment. The number of participants who experience an AE will be presented.
Number of Participants who Discontinue Study Intervention Due to an AEUp to approximately 12 monthsAn AE is defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, disease, or worsening of preexisting condition temporally associated with study treatment and irrespective of causality to study treatment. The number of participants who discontinue study treatment due to an AE will be presented.
Number of Participants Experiencing Dose-Limiting Toxicity (DLT)Up to 21 daysDLT will be defined as any drug-related AE observed during the DLT evaluation period that results in a change to a given dose or a delay in initiating the next cycle. The number of participants who experience a DLT will be presented.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
