Observational AstraZeneca · NCT05913440

This study looks at around 3,150 adults in Russia with advanced breast cancer to see how their HER2-low status affects their treatment and outcomes.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to enroll approximately 3,150 adult patients with HER2-negative unresectable or metastatic breast cancer in Russia. The goal is to confirm HER2 low status in about 2,000 patients through the reassessment of archival tumor samples. Participants must have a documented hormonal status and provide consent for data and sample usage. The study focuses on understanding the characteristics and outcomes of this specific patient population.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with confirmed unresectable or metastatic HER2-negative breast cancer diagnosed between July 1, 2021, and July 1, 2022.

Not a fit: Patients with a previous HER2 positive status or other malignancies may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance the understanding of HER2-low breast cancer and inform future treatment strategies.

How similar studies have performed: While this study focuses on a specific patient population, similar observational studies have shown promise in understanding breast cancer subtypes.
