Summary

This trial will study if a new cancer drug is effective and safe to use in patients with early stage breast cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with high-risk, HER2-positive early breast cancer that hasn't spread (non-metastatic). Participants should have a certain level of tumor size and lymph node involvement, be in good physical condition (ECOG 0 or 1), have normal organ and bone marrow function, heart efficiency (LVEF ≥ 50%), and available tissue samples. Those with prior breast cancer treatment, stage IV cancer, other recent cancers except some skin cancers or in situ diseases, past anthracycline/cyclophosphamide/taxane use for any cancer are excluded.
What is being tested?
The study tests the effectiveness and safety of Trastuzumab Deruxtecan (T-DXd) alone or followed by THP compared to standard treatment ddAC-THP in treating HER2-positive early-stage breast cancer before surgery. It aims to see if T-DXd can improve outcomes when used at an earlier stage of treatment.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions related to infusion treatments such as fatigue, nausea, hair loss from chemotherapy drugs like doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide; heart issues from trastuzumab; neuropathy from paclitaxel; and lung problems like ILD/pneumonitis which could be severe.
