We are leading a phase 2 study, called #TRUDI, to test the safety and effectiveness of an investigational drug combination (trastuzumab deruxtecan and durvalumab) to learn if the intervention works in stage III, HER2-expressing #InflammatoryBreastCancer. https://t.co/WCVCnj3jix

This is where the importance of government cancer funding comes in. My brilliant colleague designing a large trial to give less trastuzumab to HER2+ patients who achieve pCR.
New Trial! @adawaksmd of @DanaFarber leads @ALLIANCE_org A012303 (ShortStop-HER2), a study exploring if less treatment is needed after surgery for people w/early-stage HER2+ #breastcancer who had no cancer left after chemo + HER2 therapy (before surgery). https://t.co/LdlcuS8BN0
