Have you been diagnosed with advanced cancer that cannot be removed by surgery or has spread to a different part of the body (metastasis)?

This trial seeks to enroll patients diagnosed with HER2-negative (HER2- low or HER2-0)- MBC who are starting treatment with T-DXd. The purpose is to determine if the test used for HER2+ MBC also works for HER2-low MBC. By participating in this trial, you are contributing to information that may improve the care of future patients with HER2-negative (HER2- low or HER2-0)- MBC. This trial does not require additional biopsies. Only tissue left over from a standard-of-care procedure will be used. The study team will access your medical record to review routine imaging test results as well as track your response to your treatment. Your breast cancer care will be managed by your oncologist, and you won't need to interact with the study team for direct care. No extra visits with the study team are required, except possibly for the initial enrollment.

Are you planning on having an IUD placed? If you are already planning to get an IUD, this study gives the chance to receive extra pain medication during insertion. Everyone will receive standard pain medication, and 2/3 of volunteers will receive extra. We are looking to see if giving ketorolac pills 1-hour vs 2-hours before an IUD decreases pain levels. We would need 3 hours of in-person clinic time from volunteers. Compensation provided.

Have you been diagnosed with Stage 4 HER2 positive (HER2+) breast cancer? If so, you may be able to take part in a research study to test the safety and effectiveness of a sequence of drugs (a taxane plus trastuzumab plus pertuzumab followed by trastuzumab Deruxtecan, followed by tucatinib plus Ado-trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1), followed by trastuzumab plus pertuzumab plus tucatinib) to learn whether the treatment works in treating your type of cancer. The study will help us understand whether first intensifying therapy for a specific period and then stopping treatment is safe and effective for patients who receive this therapy.
