Study Overview: AstraZeneca is conducting a study titled ‘PROVIDENCE – Prospective Non-interventional Study (NIS) to Examine Patient-reported Outcomes and Real-world Clinical Data in Patients With HER2-positive, HER2-low or HER2-ultralow Unresectable or Metastatic Breast Cancer Treated With Trastuzumab Deruxtecan.’ The study aims to gather real-world data on the efficacy and safety of trastuzumab deruxtecan in patients with various levels of HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer, highlighting its significance in improving patient outcomes.
Intervention/Treatment: The study focuses on trastuzumab deruxtecan, a targeted therapy for HER2-positive breast cancer. This treatment is intended to manage unresectable or metastatic breast cancer by targeting HER2 proteins on cancer cells.
Study Design: This is an observational, prospective cohort study. It does not involve random allocation or masking, as it observes patients in real-world settings to understand treatment impacts better.
Study Timeline: The study began on September 29, 2022, with an estimated completion date of August 29, 2025. The primary completion date is not specified, but the last update was submitted on August 29, 2025, indicating ongoing progress.
Market Implications: This study could positively impact AstraZeneca’s stock performance by demonstrating the real-world effectiveness of trastuzumab deruxtecan, potentially increasing its market share in the competitive oncology sector. The collaboration with Daiichi Sankyo further strengthens its position in the industry.
The study is ongoing, with further details available on the ClinicalTrials portal.
