About this study
In plain language
This study uses blood tests to look for tiny amounts of cancer DNA after surgery, before cancer can be seen on scans. It is for adults with stage II or III triple-negative breast cancer who still had cancer left at surgery after treatment. The study also tests the safety and possible benefits of an experimental drug, Dato-DXd, when cancer DNA is found but scans do not show cancer returning.
This is a Phase II, interventional, prospective, single-arm, multi-center study that will enroll patients with stage II/III triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) who have residual cancer burden (RCB) II/III after conventional neoadjuvant chemo-immunotherapy followed by surgery. Technological advances in ctDNA assays have improved both the sensitivity and reliability of molecular residual disease (MRD) detection to enable real-time measurement with clinical-grade assays. The primary objective of this study will be to evaluate ctDNA-based MRD status in high-risk, early-stage TNBC patients by defining the proportion of TNBC patients with MRD-only recurrence (ctDNA positive without radiographically measurable recurrence) during post-surgery surveillance. The secondary objectives will evaluate the safety, preliminary efficacy, and survival outcomes of using Dato-DXd in participants with MRD-only TNBC. Dato-DXd is an investigational antibody-drug conjugate (monoclonal antibody specific for TROP2 and a topoisomerase I (Topo-1) inhibitor) that has demonstrated promising efficacy in TNBC patients with a manageable safety profile.
Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
