QuantifyHER: Quantitative Immunofluorescence and/or RT-qPCR for Measuring HER2 in HER2-low Metastatic Breast Cancer

  • Study HIC#:2000039026
  • Last Updated:04/24/2025

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.

    Eligibility Criteria

    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)
