SUMMARY OF THE TRASTUZUMAB
DERUXTECAN TRIAL
In June of 2022, groundbreaking results from a clinical trial
were presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology
Annual Meeting in Chicago. These new findings may result in
updates in the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer that
are especially important for Black women with breast cancer
to be aware of.
A medication, trastuzumab deruxtecan, developed by AstraZeneca
and Daiichi Sankyo (brand name Enhertu) was shown
to halt the growth of tumors by 49% compared to chemotherapy
in patients with HER2-low metastatic or unresectable disease.
Furthermore, the median overall survival of the patients in
the trial treated with trastuzumab deruxtecan was improved
by more than six months compared to patients receiving chemotherapy
(Modi et al. 2022).
While the recent clinical trial was not powered to evaluate
treatment for triple-negative patients, specifically, it is a topic
for future research and physicians will be looking into new
treatment options for their triple-negative patients.
Disclaimer: Trastuzumab deruxtecan is only approved by the
FDA for HER2+ metastatic breast cancer and not yet approved
in HER2-low patients (FDA 2022).
