- Change in Confirmed Objective Response Rate by Blinded Independent Central Review Following Intravenous Administration of Trastuzumab Deruxtecan in Participants With Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-overexpressing Metastatic Colorectal Cancer [ Time Frame: The first 80 participants have 12 weeks of follow-up or have discontinued the treatment for the Interim Analysis (IA), 6 months after the last participant is registered for the primary analysis ]Confirmed objective response rate (ORR), defined as the proportion of participants with complete response (CR) or partial response (PR), will be assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR) based on Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1. CR was defined as the disappearance of all target lesions and PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions.

- Change from Baseline in Patient-Reported Outcomes (PROs) in European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Core Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ-C30) [ Time Frame: 6 months after the last participant is registered or later ]The EORTC QLQ-C30 consists of 30 questions assessing global health-related quality of life, five aspects of subject functioning (physical, emotional, role, cognitive, and social), three symptom scales (fatigue, nausea and vomiting, and pain), and six single-items (dyspnea, insomnia, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea, and financial difficulties). All of the scales and single-item measures range in score from 0 to 100. Higher scores for functioning scales and global health status indicate a better level of functioning while higher scores on the symptom and single-item scales indicate a higher level of symptoms.

The EQ-5D-5L is the health state description for measuring health status. The descriptive system comprises the 5 dimensions of mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. The participants self-rate each dimension on a 5-point, categorical scale: no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems, and extreme problems.
- Patient-Reported Outcomes (PROs) in Patient's Global Impression of Treatment Tolerability (PGI-TT) [ Time Frame: 6 months after the last participant is registered or later ]The PGI-TT item is included to assess how a patient perceives the overall tolerability of the study treatment over the past 7 days. This is a single-item questionnaire, and patients will rate the bother associated with any treatment-related symptoms using response options on a 5-point scale ranging from 1 (Not at all) to 5 (Very much); 1-Not at all, 2-A little bit, 3-Somewhat, 4-Quite a bit, 5-Very much. Higher scores indicate a worse outcome.
- Patient-Reported Outcomes (PROs) in Patient Global Impression of Symptom Severity (PGIS) [ Time Frame: 6 months after the last participant is registered or later ]The PGIS item is included to assess how a patient perceives the overall severity of cancer symptoms over the past 7 days. This is a single-item questionnaire, and patients will choose the response that best describes the severity of their overall cancer symptoms with options on a 6-point scale ranging from 1 (No symptoms) to 6 (Very Severe); 1-No Symptoms, 2-Very Mild, 3-Mild, 4-Moderate, 5-Severe, 6-Very Severe. Higher scores indicate a worse outcome.
- Patient-Reported Outcomes (PROs) in Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) Scores [ Time Frame: 6 months after the last participant is registered or later ]The PGIC item is included to assess how a patient perceives their overall change in health status since the start of study treatment. This is a single-item questionnaire, and patients will choose from response options on a 7-point scale ranging from 1 (Much Better) to 7 (Much worse); 1- Much Better, 2-Moderately Better, 3-A Little Better, 4-About the Same, 5-A Little Worse, 6-Moderately Worse, 7-Much Worse. Higher scores indicate a worse outcome.
- Inpatient Healthcare Resource Utilization [ Time Frame: 6 months after the last participant is registered or later ]Healthcare resource use will be captured/collected, including inpatient admissions, intensive care unit admissions, and length of stay in hospital.
- Serum Concentration of Trastuzumab Deruxtecan (T-DXd) [ Time Frame: 6 months after the last participant is registered or later ]
- Serum Concentration of Total Anti-Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2) Antibody [ Time Frame: 6 months after the last participant is registered or later ]
- Serum Concentration of Active Metabolite MAAA-1181a [ Time Frame: 6 months after the last participant is registered or later ]
- Percentage of Participants Positive for Treatment-emergent Anti-drug Antibodies (ADAs) and Neutralizing antibodies (NAb) in Participants Who Were Administered Trastuzumab Deruxtecan (T-DXd) [ Time Frame: 6 months after the last participant is registered or later ]
