Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Upon meeting all selection criteria, a total of 27 patients will be enrolled as follows: 13 patients will be accrued in stage 1 to receive T-DXd and additional 14 patients will be accrued in stage 2 according to the number of responses seen in stage 1.
The main objective is to analyze the efficacy of T-DXd as determined by ORR at any timepoint as judged by best CNS response according to RANO-BM criteria.
End of study is estimated to occur approximately 11 months after the last patient included in the study starts treatment, unless premature termination of the study.

Study Groups

T-DXd
Patients will receive T-DXd at 5.4 mg/kg administered as an intravenous (IV) infusion every three-weeks (Q3W) until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, death, or discontinuation from the study.
Trastuzumab-Deruxtecan (T-DXd)
Trastuzumab-deruxtecan is a human HER2-directed antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) composed of humanized anti-HER2 immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) monoclonal antibody (mAb) with the same amino acid sequence as trastuzumab, covalently linked to the membrane-permeable topoisomerase I inhibitor payload, DXd, an exatecan derivative, via a stable tetrapeptide-based linker, selectively cleaved within tumor cells.

2. Any autoimmune, connective tissue or inflammatory disorders (ie, rheumatoid arthritis, Sjogren's, sarcoidosis, etc.) where there is documented, or a suspicion of pulmonary involvement at the time of screening. Full details of the disorder should be recorded in the eCRF for participants who are included in the study.

Patients with past HBV infection or resolved HBV infection (defined as having a negative hepatitis B surface antibody \[HBsAg\] test and a positive hepatitis B core antibody \[HBcAb\] test, accompanied by a negative HBV DNA test) are eligible. Patients positive for HCV antibody are eligible only if polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is negative for HCV RNA.

Corticosteroids (dexamethasone at 4 mg or equivalent doses) are allowed only for the treatment of bone metastases and for the treatment of specific adverse drug reactions. The use of stable corticosteroid therapy in patients with BM can be discussed with the Medical Monitor.
Note: Hematopoietic growth factors may be used for prophylaxis or treatment based on the clinical judgment of the investigator. Concomitant use of dietary supplements, medications not prescribed by the Investigator, and alternative/complementary treatments is discouraged, but not prohibited. Prophylactic or supportive treatment of study-drug induced adverse events will be otherwise as per investigator's discretion and institutional guidelines.
19. Patients with known 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.
20. Use of concurrent investigational agents, endocrine treatments, or other concomitant anti-cancer therapies.
21. Participants who are unable or unwilling to comply with the requirements of the protocol in the opinion of the investigator.
