DESTINY-B12: This Phase III trial is evaluating how safe and effective targeted therapy (Trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd)) is in patients with advanced or metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer that has or has not spread to the brain.An Open-Label, Multinational, Multicenter, Phase 3b/4 Study of Trastuzumab Deruxtecan in Patients With or Without Baseline Brain Metastasis With Previously Treated Advanced/Metastatic HER2-Positive Breast Cancer (DESTINY-Breast12)

Exclusion

• Known or suspected leptomeningeal disease
• Prior exposure to tucatinib treatment
• Refractory nausea and vomiting, chronic gastrointestinal disease, or previous significant bowel resection that would preclude adequate absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion of T-DXd
• History of another primary malignancy except for malignancy treated with curative intent with no known active disease within 3 years before the first dose of study intervention and of low potential risk for recurrence
• Based on screening contrast brain MRI/CT scan, participants must not have any of the following: any untreated brain lesions > 2.0 cm in size; ongoing use of systemic corticosteroids for control of symptoms of BMs; any brain lesion thought to require immediate local therapy; have poorly controlled (> 1/week) generalized or complex partial seizures, or manifest neurologic progression due to BMs not withstanding CNS-directed therapy
• Has spinal cord compression
• Known active hepatitis B or C infection, such as those with serologic evidence of viral infection within 28 days of Cycle 1 Day 1. Participants with past or resolved hepatitis B virus infection are eligible, if negative for hepatitis B surface antigen and positive for anti-hepatitis B core antigen
• Participants positive for hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody are eligible only if polymerase chain reaction is negative for HCV RNA
• Uncontrolled infection requiring IV antibiotics, antivirals, or antifungals
• Receipt of live, attenuated vaccine within 30 days prior to the first dose of T-DXd
• Participants with a medical history of myocardial infarction within 6 months before screening, symptomatic congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association Class II to IV)
• History of (non-infectious) ILD/pneumonitis that required steroids, has current ILD/pneumonitis, or where suspected ILD/pneumonitis cannot be ruled out by imaging at screening
• Lung-specific intercurrent clinically significant illnesses and any autoimmune, connective tissue or inflammatory disorders
• Prior exposure, without adequate treatment washout period before the day of first dosing, to chloroquine/hydroxychloroquine: < 14 days
• Anticancer chemotherapy: immunotherapy (non-antibody-based therapy), retinoid therapy, hormonal therapy: < 3 weeks
• < 6 weeks for nitrosoureas or mitomycin
• Antibody-based anticancer therapy: < 4 weeks
• Any concurrent anticancer treatment. Concurrent use of hormonal therapy for noncancer- related conditions is allowed
• Unresolved toxicities from previous anticancer therapy, defined as toxicities (other than alopecia) not yet resolved to Grade ≤ 1 or baseline
• Palliative radiotherapy with a limited field of radiation within 2 weeks or with wide field of radiation, radiation to the chest, or to more than 30% of the bone marrow within 4 weeks before the first dose of study intervention
• Participants with prior exposure to immunosuppressive medication within 14 days prior to first study dose
• Participants with a known hypersensitivity to study intervention or any of the excipients of the product or other monoclonal antibodies
