📌Choosing 2L treatment

Absence of PIK3CA mutations excludes alpelisib as an option.
Presence of an ESR1 mutation suggests a SERD may be beneficial

Fulvestrant is an IM 💉SERD historically utilized as SOC for patients progressing to tamoxifen or AI

Endocrine treatment is among the most effective treatment strategies we have for breast cancer. 50 years ago, the approval of the SERD tamoxifen really revolutionized the field, & we still use the drug today.

Yet, no novel ET had been approved for the last 20 years. Until now

Multiple oral SERDs (selective estrogen receptor degraders) are being developed for patients with HR+ MBC. The first to achieve positive phase 3 results was elacestrant, tested in the #EMERALD trial vs. SoC ET (fulvestrant or AI). Primary endpoint -> PFS overall & in ESR1-mut

T-DXd has shown remarkable activity for treating HER2-positive and HER2-low breast cancers.

However, it may soon expand its reach, and become a treatment option even for HER2-0 tumors.

Here’s the 10 reasons why:
1. Because it works!

The only study that tested T-DXd for treating HER2-0 metastatic breast cancer (the phase 2 DAISY trial) demonstrated a response rate of 30% and a duration of response of 6.8 months. Not bad for being “zero”.

oncologypro.esmo.org/meeting-resour…
2. Because activity of T-DXd in HER2-0 has been also observed in other tumor types.

In DESTINY-Lung01 (T-DXd for HER2-mutant NSCLC), several responses were observed in patients w/ HER2-0 tumors, including the only complete response observed in the trial.

In ten days, the presentation of DB-04 may redefine the way we classify and treat breast cancer.

Here’s ten HER2-low facts you need to know before attending the ASCO Plenary Session:
1/10 About half of all BCs have HER2-low expression, defined as HER2 IHC 1+ or 2+/ISH-.

The rate of HER2-low tumors depends however on the expression of ER:
- TNBC: 40% HER2-low
- Moderate ER-exp: 45-55% are HER2-low
- Highly ER-exp: >60% are HER2-low

oncologypro.esmo.org/meeting-resour…
2/10 HER2-low expression is not associated with major biologic differences (vs. HER2-0). Most HR+ breast tumors are luminal and most TNBCs are basal-like at PAM50, regardless of HER2-low expression
