Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a real-world observational study aiming to evaluate the effectiveness of post-progression treatment strategies in patients with advanced breast cancer who have developed resistance to prior targeted therapies, including CDK4/6 inhibitors, PIK3CA inhibitors, trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd), or other targeted agents commonly used in clinical practice. As resistance to these therapies becomes increasingly common, optimal sequencing strategies for subsequent treatment remain unclear.

This study will collect clinical information on post-resistance systemic treatments and their outcomes, including progression-free survival, overall survival, and response rate. Baseline patient and tumor characteristics will also be collected to explore potential prognostic and predictive factors and to develop outcome prediction models that may help guide future clinical decision-making.

This is a non-interventional study based on retrospective and prospective data from routine medical care. The results are expected to provide real-world evidence to inform personalized treatment strategies for patients with advanced breast cancer following resistance to targeted therapies.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease, and advances in targeted therapies have significantly improved clinical outcomes, especially in hormone receptor-positive (HR+), HER2-positive, and selected triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) subtypes. However, disease progression following treatment with targeted agents such as CDK4/6 inhibitors, PIK3CA inhibitors, and antibody-drug conjugates like trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) remains a major clinical challenge. With a growing number of post-resistance treatment options available, real-world data are urgently needed to inform evidence-based sequencing strategies in routine clinical practice.

This real-world observational study aims to investigate the treatment patterns and clinical outcomes of patients with advanced or metastatic breast cancer who experience disease progression after receiving CDK4/6 inhibitors, PIK3CA inhibitors, T-DXd, or other relevant targeted agents. The study will focus on characterizing the effectiveness of subsequent treatment regimens, including chemotherapy, endocrine therapy, additional targeted therapies, or their combinations.

In addition to evaluating clinical outcomes such as progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR), and duration of response (DoR), the study will collect detailed baseline patient characteristics, tumor biological features, and prior treatment histories. These data will be used to identify potential prognostic and predictive factors and to develop outcome prediction models that may support personalized treatment planning in the post-resistance setting.

Patients will be identified based on medical record review, with retrospective and/or prospective data collection depending on institutional capabilities. Treatment decisions are made at the discretion of the treating physicians as part of standard clinical care. The study does not involve any experimental intervention, and no additional diagnostic or therapeutic procedures will be imposed on participants.

The ultimate goal of this study is to generate clinically relevant, real-world evidence to guide optimal treatment sequencing after resistance to targeted therapy in advanced breast cancer, and to support future clinical research and decision-making frameworks.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Post-Resistance Advanced Breast Cancer Patients

This cohort includes patients with advanced or metastatic breast cancer who experienced disease progression after treatment with CDK4/6 inhibitors, PIK3CA inhibitors, trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd), or other targeted therapies. All patients subsequently received further systemic therapy, including chemotherapy, endocrine therapy, targeted agents, or their combinations, based on physician discretion and routine clinical practice. This observational cohort will be analyzed to assess treatment patterns, clinical outcomes (e.g., progression-free survival and overall survival), and potential prognostic or predictive factors.

No interventions assigned to this group
