DESTINY-Breast05 Research Study
STUDY BASICS
Have you been diagnosed with HER-2 positive breast cancer? Did you complete your chemotherapy treatment and undergo surgery for your cancer within the past 12 weeks? You may be able to participate in a study to see if a drug called T-DXd is effective in treating people with HER2-positive early breast cancer. This study involves multiple visits, including follow-up visits for up to 10 years.
