Evaluating Giredestrant with Phesgo for Advanced Breast Cancer

Official title: A Phase III, Randomized, Open-Label Study Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of Giredestrant in Combination With Phesgo Versus Phesgo After Induction Therapy With Phesgo + Taxane in Patients With Previously Untreated HER2-Positive, Estrogen Receptor-Positive Locally-Advanced or Metastatic Breast Cancer

This study is no longer in our active list. It may have stopped recruiting or finished. The details below are as of 2026-05-14 and are kept for reference. Check ClinicalTrials.gov for its current status, or see similar studies below.

This study is testing if adding a new drug called giredestrant to Phesgo can help people with advanced HER2-positive, ER-positive breast cancer feel better compared to just using Phesgo alone.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates include women with HER2-positive, ER-positive advanced breast cancer who have not received prior systemic non-hormonal therapy.

Probably not a fit

Patients with curable breast cancer or those who have previously received systemic non-hormonal therapy for advanced disease may not benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This Phase III, randomized, open-label study aims to assess the efficacy and safety of giredestrant in combination with Phesgo compared to Phesgo alone in patients with HER2-positive, ER-positive locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer. Participants must have measurable disease and have not received prior systemic non-hormonal therapy for their advanced condition. The study will involve multiple centers and will focus on patients who have had a disease-free interval of at least six months after previous treatments.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new effective option for patients with advanced breast cancer who have limited treatment alternatives.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promising results with similar combinations of targeted therapies in advanced breast cancer, indicating potential for success.

Inclusion Criteria:

* Histologically or cytologically confirmed and documented human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive/estrogen receptor (ER)-positive adenocarcinoma of the breast with metastatic or locally-advanced disease not amenable to curative resection
