Survival benefits of trastuzumab deruxtecan in patients with previously treated HER2-low mBC

22 May 2025 by

The therapeutic landscape of HER2-low metastatic breast cancer (mBC) has been transformed by the availability of trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd; Enhertu^®, Daiichi Sankyo & AstraZeneca), an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC). At a recent Hong Kong Breast Cancer Foundation (HKBCF) Academic Meeting, Dr Shanu Modi of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Weill Cornell Medical College, New York, US, discussed the efficacy and safety of T-DXd in the phase III DESTINY-Breast04 trial. Local experiences with T-DXd were shared by Dr Roland Leung of the Department of Medicine, the University of Hong Kong.
