Eligibility Criteria

• * Participants must have histologically or cytologically confirmed invasive breast cancer with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic disease. Participants without pathologic or cytologic confirmation of metastatic disease should have unequivocal evidence of metastasis from physical examination or radiologic evaluation; i.e., visible chest wall disease or metastases on imaging meeting standard radiology criteria (i.e., lymph nodes larger than 1 cm in the short axis diameter).

• * Participants must have history of HER2-low or HER2-0 breast cancer per local testing, and no known history of HER2-positive breast cancer. All available prior HER2 pathology results must be HER2-low or HER2-0; no known HER2 IHC 3+ or ISH-amplified breast cancer is allowed.
• * HER2-low status is defined as IHC 1+ or 2+/ISH non-amplified breast cancer in any prior tumor sample (e.g., primary or metastatic tumor) collected prior to study enrollment: IHC 2+/ISH-, IHC 1+/ISH-, or IHC 1+/ISH untested (note: ISH may be determined by either fluorescence in situ hybridization \[FISH\] or dual in situ hybridization \[DISH\])
• * HER2-0 status is defined as IHC 0 (null or ultra-low) in all prior tumor samples with available HER2 pathology results: IHC 0+/ISH- or IHC 0+/ISH untested (IHC 0+: IHC 0 absent membrane staining \[null\] or IHC 0 with membrane staining \>0 and \<1+ \[ultralow\]). Note: Enrollment of patients with HER2-0 breast cancer will be capped at 15% in each ADC1 and ADC2 cohort.
• * Participants with any HR status will be allowed on study.
• * HR-positive cohorts: ER and/or PR expression ≥1%
• * HR-negative cohorts: ER and PR expression \<1%
• * All cohorts: The most recent HER2 pathology result must be HER2-0 or HER2-low (i.e., must not be HER2-positive).
• * HER2-0: IHC 0+/ISH- or IHC 0+/ISH untested.
• * HER2-low: IHC 2+/ISH-, IHC 1+/ISH-, or IHC 1+/ISH untested (note: ISH may be determined by either fluorescence in situ hybridization \[FISH\] or dual in situ hybridization \[DISH\]).

Prior endocrine therapy does not require washout.
• * Prior chemotherapy: Prior lines of chemotherapy allowed in the metastatic setting are specified below. Prior topoisomerase I inhibitor therapy is not allowed in any setting, except as specified below for ADC2 cohorts. Participants may have discontinued all chemotherapy at least 14 days prior to study treatment initiation.

Confirmation of documented progressive disease on Dato-DXd (single-agent) as the most recent therapy is required prior to enrollment. No other topoisomerase I inhibitor is allowed in the metastatic setting.
• * ADC2 Dato-DXd cohorts: Participants must have progressed on 1-2 prior lines in the metastatic setting, including T-DXd (single-agent) as the most recent therapy. Confirmation of documented progressive disease on T-DXd (single-agent) as the most recent therapy is required prior to enrollment.
