Some human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER-2) breast cancer patients do not respond or become resistant to current treatment. DS-8201a is a new experimental product that is a combination of an antibody and a drug. It has not yet been approved for use. DS-8201a may slow down tumor growth. This might improve outcomes for these patients.

masking Description
In Part 1, about 60 trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) resistant/refractory patients initially will be randomized into three treatment groups (low, medium and high doses) for Pharmacokinetics (PK), then about another 60 will be randomized into low and high doses to determine recommended dose (RD). After that, about 100 will receive the recommended dose in an open-label continuation stage (Part 2). About 10 TDM-1 intolerant patients will join the continuation stage as an exploratory only arm.

secondary Outcomes
  1. description
    The number of participants with objective response is assessed every six weeks from Cycle 1 Day 1 through discontinuation of treatment. Investigator-assessed objective response rate (ORR) was defined as the proportion of participants who achieved a best overall response of complete response or partial response based on local radiologists/investigators' tumor assessments.

    TEAEs were assessed by severity and seriousness according to unique criteria. Severity described the intensity of an event and was graded using National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.03, where Grade 1: Mild; asymptomatic or mild symptoms; clinical or diagnostic observations only; intervention not indicated; Grade 2: Moderate; minimal, local or noninvasive intervention indicated; limiting age-appropriate instrumental activities of daily living (ADL); Grade 3: Severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization indicated; disabling; limiting self-care ADL; Grade 4: Life-threatening consequences; urgent intervention indicated; and Grade 5: Death related to AE. Serious TEAEs were defined as any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose results in death, is life threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization, or causes prolongation of existing hospitalization.
