Treatment for HER2-low advanced breast cancer using Disitamab vedotin
Official title: Disitamab Vedotin (RC48-ADC) in Patients With HER2-low Advanced Breast Cancer
Run by RenJi Hospital · NCT05831878 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing a new treatment called Disitamab vedotin for people with HER2-low advanced breast cancer who have already tried one round of chemotherapy to see if it can help them feel better and live longer.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are female patients aged 18-70 years with HER2-low advanced breast cancer who have received no more than one previous chemotherapy.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with a history of thromboembolic events, uncontrolled systemic diseases, or active infections may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This clinical trial evaluates the efficacy and safety of Disitamab vedotin (RC48-ADC) as a salvage treatment for patients with HER2-low advanced breast cancer who have previously received up to one chemotherapy for recurrent or metastatic disease. The study focuses on patients whose tumors are classified as HER2-low, defined by specific immunohistochemistry and FISH test results. Key outcomes assessed include overall response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and adverse events (AE) during the treatment period.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with HER2-low advanced breast cancer who have limited treatment alternatives.
How similar studies have gone: While the specific approach of using Disitamab vedotin for HER2-low advanced breast cancer is novel, similar antibody-drug conjugate strategies have shown promise in other cancer types.
