HERizon-Breast: A ctDNA-Guided Adaptive Study of Sequential Anti-HER2 Therapies and CNS Prophylaxis to Induce Long-Term Remission


Sponsor

Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center

Enrollment

60 participants

Start Date

Mar 4, 2026

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

Thie purpose of this study is to find out whether a personalized treatment approach-using a series of ctDNA tests along with standard imaging scans to help decide when to step up (escalate) or decrease (de-escalate) sequential treatments (given one after another)-combined with local therapies (which treat cancer in a specific part of the body) and treatments that prevent cancer from spreading to the central nervous system (CNS; including the brain and spinal cord) can result in long-lasting remission and possibly cure some participants with HER2+ metastatic breast cancer.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study tests a strategy of sequentially switching between different anti-HER2 targeted treatments (drugs that attack a protein called HER2 on breast cancer cells) guided by a blood test called ctDNA (which detects cancer DNA circulating in the bloodstream) for patients with HER2-positive advanced breast cancer that has spread to other organs. The study also includes a brain-protection treatment strategy, since HER2-positive breast cancer commonly spreads to the brain. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 18 or older with confirmed HER2-positive (IHC 3+) advanced or metastatic breast cancer - Your cancer was metastatic from the start (stage IV at diagnosis) - You have never received anti-HER2 therapy or any prior systemic treatment for breast cancer - You have measurable disease on imaging and are fit enough to be considered for surgery after treatment - You are in good physical condition (ECOG 0–1) **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have HER2-low positive disease (IHC 1-2+ with positive gene test only) - You have previously received any anti-HER2 or anti-cancer treatment for breast cancer - You have known brain metastases at the start of the study - You have a history of severe lung inflammation, Grade 3 or higher nerve damage, or a serious cardiovascular condition - You are pregnant or breastfeeding Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
