Mei Wei, MD, an internal medicine specialist at University of Utah Health, discusses the efficacy of fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan-nxki (Enhertu) in HER2-positive breast cancer, as demonstrated in the phase 2 DESTINY-Breast01 trial (NCT03248492).
A significant progression-free survival benefit was observed with the antibody-drug conjugate in the heavily pretreated patient population, Wei says. Additionally, the agent showed promise in patients who with brain metastases, Wei notes.
