Therapeutic Response Statement (Sensitivity)

This therapeutic response statement supports the relationship that HER2-low status confers therapeutic sensitivity to Trastuzumab deruxtecan in patients with Invasive Breast Carcinoma.

The European Medicines Agency (EMA) has authorized trastuzumab deruxtecan as a monotherapy for the treatment of adult patients with unresectable or metastatic HER2-low breast cancer who have received prior chemotherapy in the metastatic setting or developed disease recurrence during or within 6 months of completing adjuvant chemotherapy. For the purposes of this indication, HER2-low is defined as a score of IHC 1+ or IHC 2+/ISH-, as assessed by a CE-marked IVD medical device or alternative valid test.

This statement is based on a regulatory approval from the European Medicines Agency:

Enhertu as monotherapy is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with unresectable or metastatic HER2-low breast cancer who have received prior chemotherapy in the metastatic setting or developed disease recurrence during or within 6 months of completing adjuvant chemotherapy.
