Impact of antiemetic prophylaxis on reducing trastuzumab deruxtecan dose modifications in HER2+/HER2-low breast cancer. (PubMed, Future Oncol)
TAR included an NK1 receptor antagonist, a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist (or fixed netupitant/palonosetron combination), and dexamethasone. There was a trend toward a longer median time to T-DXd dose reduction in the TAR group (15.7 vs. 3.9 months; P = 0.183). These findings suggest that upfront TAR may help maintain the dosing of T-DXd in patients with HER2-positive or HER2-low ABC.

Case report: Spatiotemporal HER2 heterogeneity in AFP-producing gastric cancer: navigating long-term survival with molecularly-guided therapy in a refractory case. (PubMed, Front Immunol)
Following progression on first-line FLOT chemotherapy, the 65-year-old male received second-line apatinib plus programmed death-1 (PD-1) inhibitor...Third-line anti-HER2 antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) DP303c rapidly achieved partial response with normalized AFP...Overall survival reached 79 months. This case highlights: 1) efficacy of anti-angiogenic and immunotherapy in AFPGC; 2) necessity of re-biopsy for detecting HER2 heterogeneity; and 3) potent activity of ADCs against HER2-converted metastases, enabling remarkable survival through sequential precision therapy.

Loss of payload sensitivity and other mechanisms of resistance to T-DXd in HER2-mutant NSCLC: implications for subsequent responsiveness to HER2 TKIs. (PubMed, J Thorac Oncol)
In HER2 mutant NSCLC patients, loss of HER2 is not a universal mechanism of T-DXd resistance. Collectively, these data highlight multiple mechanisms of resistance to T-DXd that do not result in loss of HER2 TKI responsiveness.

Therapeutic Strategies to Overcome Payload Resistance of Trastuzumab Deruxtecan in HER2-Positive Cancers. (PubMed, Cancer Sci)
Moreover, BB-1701, a novel HER2-ADC containing eribulin as a payload, to which N87 AR cells are sensitive, exhibited antitumor effects in N87 AR cells in vitro and in vivo. These findings indicate that ABC transporter-mediated drug efflux is an important mechanism underlying T-DXd resistance in HER2-positive gastric and lung cancer models. Furthermore, our study suggests that both targeting drug efflux pathways and utilizing alternative payloads may be effective strategies for overcoming T-DXd resistance in HER2-positive gastric and lung cancers.

Eight months later, the lung metastases have disappeared, and the patient is currently under observation. We report a case of pancreatic metastasis following breast cancer surgery.

Subtype Change and Treatment Refractoriness at the Time of Recurrence in a Patient with Breast Cancer (PubMed, Gan To Kagaku Ryoho)
At the time of tracheotomy, biopsy evaluation revealed that the metastatic left supraclavicular lymph nodes were ER- and HER2-positive; therefore, the treatment was switched to a trastuzumab, pertuzumab, and docetaxel(TPD)combination for HER2-positive recurrent breast cancer. However, PET-CT revealed increased accumulation in the recurrent lesions, and the treatment was switched to trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd). The accumulation of recurrent foci became less pronounced and the patient continued to progress without further deterioration.

ctDNA Detected after Neoadjuvant Therapy for HER2-Positive Breast Cancer Is Associated with Inferior Outcomes and May Inform Adjuvant Therapy. (PubMed, Cancer Res Commun)
ctDNA-positive status after NAT can be switched to ctDNA-negative status in patients treated with T-DM1. Patients who were ctDNA-positive and treated with T-DM1 had a similar RFS to those who were ctDNA-negative, indicating that "ctDNA positivity" could be a marker determining adjuvant T-DM1 therapy.

Response to trastuzumab-deruxtecan in metastatic triple-negative breast cancer with both HER2 mutation and low expression. (PubMed, Einstein (Sao Paulo))
Her positive response, which surpassed the median progression-free survival rates seen in clinical trials, highlights the potential of precision medicine, where treatment is customized based on genetic and molecular tumor profiles. These new therapeutic options for difficult-to-treat cancer subtypes expand treatment possibilities, ushering in a new era of personalized and precision-driven oncology.
