Discontinuing HER2-Directed Therapy for Metastatic Breast Cancer

This study is looking at whether people with HER2-positive metastatic (Stage IV) breast cancer who are in complete remission can stop their anti-HER-2 maintenance treatments, such as Herceptin. The main goal is to see if patients can stay in remission after stopping these treatments and for how long. You might be able to join if you have HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer and your scans show you are in complete remission. The study aims to enroll 20 participants, but its current recruitment status is unclear.

Study design
This is an interventional study, meaning participants will receive a specific intervention. It plans to enroll 20 participants.
What's involved
Patients assigned to the intervention group will be asked to discontinue anti-HER-2 maintenance treatment. Monitoring will include radiologic imaging and routine blood work.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
The study will measure how long patients stay in remission for up to 72 months after discontinuing treatment.

  • Feasibility of maintaining remission after discontinuing use of anti-HER-2Up to 72 months

    The feasibility of maintaining remission of HER-2 will be measured as the proportion of patients who discontinue anti-HER-2 therapy and who remain in remission is assessed by monitoring ctDNA in the blood.
