Abstract P6-17-02: Trastuzumab deruxtecan (DS-8201a) in subjects with HER2-low expressing breast cancer: Updated results of a large phase 1 study

Background: HER2-targeted therapies have improved survival for advanced HER2-positive breast cancers (BC), but none have been approved for tumors with low levels of HER2 expression (ie, HER2 IHC 1+ or 2+/ISH-negative). Trastuzumab deruxtecan (DS-8201a) is a novel HER2-targeted antibody-drug conjugate with a humanized HER2 antibody attached to a potent topoisomerase I inhibitor payload by a cleavable peptide-based linker, which is designed to...
