- All sexes
- No healthy volunteers

Who may be able to join
- Pathologically documented breast cancer that meets the following:
- Unresectable or metastatic.
- HR+ based on testing performed locally. HR+ (estrogen receptor [ER] and/or progesterone receptor [PgR] positive [ER or PgR greater than equal to (≥)1 percent (%)] per American Society of Clinical Oncology [ASCO]/College of American Pathologists [CAP] 2020 guidelines) in the unresectable or metastatic setting.
- Assessed as HER2-low (defined as Immunohistochemistry (IHC)2+/In-situ hybridization (ISH)- or IHC1+) or HER2-ultralow (defined as IHC 0 with any membrane staining in greater than (>) 0 and lesser than equal to (≤)10% of the cancer cells) locally for Part 1 and centrally for Part 2. The HER2 result must be from a tumor sample obtained in the unresectable or metastatic setting.
- For Dose Regimen Determination (Part 1), HER2 status used for eligibility assessment must be determined locally (according to applicable regulations) using the PATHWAY anti-HER2/neu (4B5) Rabbit Monoclonal Primary Antibody (Ventana Medical Systems, Inc.). Additional HER2 testing will be performed locally and according to applicable regulations using the prescribed test during Screening only if prior results obtained with this test are not available for eligibility assessment.
- For Dose Expansion (Part 2), HER2 testing will be performed prospectively at a central laboratory using the pretreatment tumor tissue sample.

Key exclusion criteria (35 listed)
- Prior treatment with an anti-HER3 antibody and/or antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) that consists of a topoisomerase I inhibitor (e.g., T-DXd) or any other topoisomerase I inhibitor therapy.
- Has any history of interstitial lung disease (ILD)/pneumonitis irrespective of steroid use, or current ILD, or suspected ILD, or ILD that cannot be ruled out by imaging at Screening. Examples of suspected ILD/pneumonitis by imaging include the presence of lung parenchymal fibrosis, such as CPFE, and any radiographic features consistent with ILA, including but not limited to, extensive ground glass opacities, reticular opacities, traction bronchiectasis, and honeycombing. Participants may be eligible if they had history of radiation pneumonitis that did not require steroids.
- Is receiving chronic systemic corticosteroids dosed at >10 mg prednisone daily or equivalent anti-inflammatory activity or any form of immunosuppressive therapy prior to randomization. Participants who require use of bronchodilators, inhaled or topical steroids, or local steroid injections may be included in the trial.
- Evidence of spinal cord compression or brain metastases, defined as being clinically active and symptomatic, or requiring therapy with corticosteroids or anticonvulsants to control associated symptoms. Participants with clinically inactive or treated brain metastases who are asymptomatic (i.e., without neurologic signs or symptoms and do not require treatment with corticosteroids or anticonvulsants) may be included in the trial but must have a stable neurologic status for ≥4 weeks prior to Cycle 1 Day 1. Participants with asymptomatic brain metastases and treated with anticonvulsants as prophylaxis can enroll.
- Inadequate washout period of prior treatment before randomization:
Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening; this overview does not establish that a patient qualifies. Full inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1/2 study testing Patritumab deruxtecan and Trastuzumab deruxtecan in people with Hormone Receptor Positive and HER2-low or HER2-ultralow, run by Daiichi Sankyo at 72 sites in 8 countries.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 18 inclusion and 35 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Oct 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 72 sites in Spain, France, United States, Japan, Italy and 3 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this combined phase mean?
Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Daiichi Sankyo Contact for Clinical Trial Information (9089926400, CTRinfo_us@daiichisankyo.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Part 1: Number of Participants With at Least One Treatment-emergent Adverse Event (TEAE) and Serious Adverse Event (SAE) (time frame: Up to approximately 4.5 years). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Oct 2026.
