Note: Participants requiring ongoing transfusions or growth factor support to maintain platelet count ≥10.0x104/μL are not eligible. (Platelet transfusion is not allowed within 1 week prior to C1D1) Hemoglobin ≥ 8.0 g/dL. Note: Participants requiring ongoing transfusions or growth factor support to maintain hemoglobin ≥8.0 g/dL are not eligible (> 8 g/dL in gastric cancer / gastroesophageal cancer indications). (Red blood cell transfusion is not allowed within 1 week prior to C1D1) Serum albumin ≥ 2.5 g/dL Creatinine clearance ≥30 mL/min, as calculated using the Cockcroft-Gault equation Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤3 × upper limit of normal (ULN) (<5x ULN in participants with liver metastases) Total bilirubin ≤1.5 × ULN) if no liver metastases or <3 × ULN in the presence of documented Gilbert's syndrome (unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia) or liver metastases at baseline International normalized ratio (INR) and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) ≤1.0xULN unless on medication known to reversibly alter INR and/or aPTT Evidence of post-menopausal status or negative serum pregnancy test for females of childbearing potential who are sexually active with a non-sterilized male partner. For women of childbearing potential, a negative result for serum pregnancy test (test must have a sensitivity of at least 25 mIU/mL) must be available within 7 days of the screening visit and urine beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-HCG) pregnancy test prior to each administration of T-DXd. Women of childbearing potential are defined as those who are not surgically sterile (i.e. underwent bilateral salpingectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, or complete hysterectomy). Women will be considered post-menopausal if they have been amenorrheic for 12 months without an alternative medical cause. Female patients of childbearing potential who are sexually active with a non-sterilized male partner must use at least one highly effective method of contraception, presented in Table 1 from the time of screening and must agree to continue using such precautions for 7 months after the last dose of T-DXd. Note: estrogen/progesterone is contraindicated in ER+ breast cancer, and in other cancers could increase the risk of DVT. Female patients must refrain from breastfeeding while on study and for 7 months after the last dose of T-DXd. Non-sterilized male patients who are sexually active with a female partner of childbearing potential must use a condom with spermicide from screening to 4 months after the final dose ofT-DXd. Complete heterosexual abstinence for the drug washout period is an acceptable contraceptive method if it is in line with the patient's usual lifestyle (consideration must be made to the duration of the clinical trial); however, periodic or occasional abstinence, the rhythm method, and the withdrawal method are not acceptable. It is strongly recommended for the female partners of a male patient to also use ≥1 highly effective method of contraception throughout this period, as described in Table 1. In addition, male patients should refrain from fathering a child, or freezing or donating sperm from the time of enrollment until 4 months after the last dose of T-DXd; sperm preservation should be considered prior to enrollment in this study. Female subjects must not donate, or retrieve for their own use, ova from the time of enrollment through at least 7 months after the final study drug administration. Preservation of ova may be considered prior to enrollment in this study. Adequate treatment washout period from prior therapies to allow recovery from any prior treatment-related toxicities before enrollment in the judgment of the Investigator. Table 1: Highly effective methods of contraception (<1% failure rate) Non-Hormonal Methods Total heterosexual abstinence (evaluate in relation to the duration of the clinical study and the preferred and usual lifestyle choice of the participant) Vasectomised sexual partner (if partner is the sole sexual partner of the trial participant and that the vasectomised partner has received medical assessment of the surgical success) Bilateral tubal occlusion Intrauterine device (provided coils are copper banded) Hormonal Methods Combined (estrogen and progestogen containing) hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation (noting relevant contraindications in ER+ breast cancer, and risk of DVT in other cancers) oral intravaginal transdermal Progestogen-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation oral injectable implantable Intrauterine hormone-releasing system (IUS) Exclusion Criteria: Contraindication or history of allergic reaction to T-DXd Significant comorbidities as per investigator evaluation Inability to comply with protocol and/or unwilling or not available for follow up assessments or any condition which in the investigator's opinion makes the patient unsuitable for study participation Ferrous or other contraindication to MR imaging History of myocardial infarction within 6 months before enrollment History of symptomatic congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association Class II to IV) Corrected QT interval (QTc) prolongation to >470 ms (females) or >450 ms (male) based on12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) Subjects with troponin levels above ULN at screening (as defined by the manufacturer), and without any myocardial related symptoms, should have a cardiologic consultation before enrollment to rule out MI History of (noninfectious) interstitial lung disease (ILD)/pneumonitis that required steroids, has current ILD/pneumonitis, or where suspected ILD/pneumonitis can not be ruled out by baseline chest CT at Screening. Lung criteria: Lung-specific intercurrent clinically significant illnesses including, but not limited to, any underlying pulmonary disorder (e.g. pulmonary emboli within three months of the study enrollment, severe asthma, severe COPD, restrictive lung disease, pleural effusion etc.) Any autoimmune, connective tissue or inflammatory disorders (e.g. Rheumatoid arthritis, Sjogren's, sarcoidosis etc.) where there is documented, or a suspicion of pulmonary involvement at the time of screening. Prior pneumonectomy (complete) Uncontrolled infection requiring IV antibiotics, antivirals, or antifungals Active primary immunodeficiency, known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, or active hepatitis B or C infection. Patients positive for hepatitis C (HCV) antibody are eligible only if polymerase chain reaction is negative for HCV RNA. Receipt of live, attenuated vaccine (mRNA and replication deficient adenoviral vaccines are not considered attenuated live vaccines) within 30 days prior to the first dose of trastuzumab deruxtecan. Note: Patients, if enrolled, should not receive live vaccine during the study and up to 30 days after the last dose of T-DXd. Has unresolved toxicities from previous anticancer therapy, defined as toxicities (other than alopecia) not yet resolved to Grade ≤ 1 or baseline. Note: Subjects may be enrolled with chronic, stable Grade 2 toxicities (defined as no worsening to >Grade 2 for at least 3 months prior to [randomization/enrollment/Cycle 1 Day 1] and managed with standard of care treatment) that the investigator deems related to previous anticancer therapy, such as: Chemotherapy-induced neuropathy Fatigue Residual toxicities from prior IO treatment: Grade 1 or Grade 2 endocrinopathies which may include: i. Hypothyroidism/hyperthyroidism ii. Type 1 diabetes iii. Hyperglycemia iv. Adrenal insufficiency v. Adrenalitis vi. Skin hypopigmentation (vitiligo) Known allergy or hypersensitivity to study treatment or any of the study drug excipients. For patients who are allergic to gadolinium-based agents may receive premedication as per institutional protocol or imaged without contrast at the discretion of the Principal Investigator; reactions will be managed per standard institutional protocol History of severe hypersensitivity reactions to other monoclonal antibodies Pregnant or breastfeeding female patients, or patients who are planning to become pregnant. Patients with substance abuse or any other medical conditions such as clinically significant cardiac or psychological conditions, that may, in the opinion of the investigator, interfere with the subject's participation in the clinical study or evaluation of the clinical study results. Multiple primary malignancies within 3 years, with the exception of: adequately resected non-melanoma skin cancer carcinoma in situ of the cervix Smoldering pre-malignant or malignant conditions with minimal concern for CNS or extracranial progression during treatment such as CLL or MGUS based on the assessment of the treating provider curatively treated in-situ disease other solid tumors curatively treated contralateral breast cancer [patients with metastatic breast cancer].
