Comparing JSKN003 and T-DM1 for advanced HER2-positive breast cancer

Official title: A Randomized, Controlled, Open-Label, Multicenter, Phase 3 Study to Compare the Efficacy and Safety of JSKN003 Versus Trastuzumab Emtansine (T-DM1) for HER2-Positive, Advanced Breast Cancer Subjects

Run by Shanghai JMT-Bio Inc. · NCT06846437 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study is testing whether a new treatment called JSKN003 can work better than the standard drug T-DM1 for people with advanced HER2-positive breast cancer who have already received other treatments.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 and older with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer who have previously received trastuzumab and taxane.

Probably not a fit

Patients with HER2-negative breast cancer or those who have not received prior treatment with trastuzumab and taxanes may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial aims to compare the safety and efficacy of JSKN003 with trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) in patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer who have previously been treated with trastuzumab and taxane. It is a randomized, controlled, open-label, multicenter phase 3 study where participants will receive either JSKN003 or T-DM1 every three weeks until disease progression or other reasons for discontinuation. The study will assess the effectiveness of JSKN003 in improving patient outcomes compared to the standard treatment.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide a new treatment option that may improve outcomes for patients with advanced HER2-positive breast cancer.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promising results with similar approaches in treating HER2-positive breast cancer, indicating potential for success.
