Indications

HER2+ mBC:

  • The treatment of adult patients with unresectable or metastatic HER2-positive (IHC 3+ or ISH positive) breast cancer who have received a prior anti-HER2-based regimen.1

HER2-Low Unresectable or mBC:

  • The treatment of adult patients with unresectable or metastatic HER2-low (IHC 1+ or IHC 2+/ISH-) breast cancer, as determined by an FDA-approved test, who have received a prior chemotherapy in the metastatic setting or developed disease recurrence during or within 6 months of completing adjuvant chemotherapy.1

HER2-Mutant Unresectable or Metastatic NSCLC:

  • The treatment of adult patients with unresectable or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose tumors have activating HER2 mutations, as detected by an FDA-approved test, and who have received a prior systemic therapy.*1

HER2+ Gastric or Gastroesophageal Cancer:

  • The treatment of adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic HER2-positive (IHC 3+ or IHC 2+/ ISH positive) gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma who have received a prior trastuzumab-based regimen.1

Unresectable or Metastatic HER2+ Solid Tumors:

  • The treatment of adult patients with unresectable or metastatic HER2-positive (IHC 3+) solid tumors who have received prior systemic treatment and have no satisfactory alternative treatment options.*1

*These indications are approved under accelerated approval based on objective response rate and duration of response. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory trial.1

Recommended Dose/Route

  • The recommended dosage of T-DXd is 5.4 mg/kg given as an intravenous infusion once every 3 weeks (21-day cycle) until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.1

Pivotal Study

DESTINY-Lung02 (NCT04644237)3

  • Key Inclusion Criteria: Eligible patients were required to have unresectable or metastatic HER2-mutant non-squamous NSCLC with disease progression after one prior systemic therapy.
