| BIO-HER2-LOW | IHC 1+ OR IHC 2+/ISH-negative (HER2-low by ASCO/CAP 2023 criteria) | IA | Standard care
| Trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd, DS-8201) is FDA-approved (Aug 2022) for unresectable or metastatic HER2-low (IHC 1+ or 2+/ISH-) breast cancer following prior chemotherapy. DESTINY-Breast04 (Modi et al. NEJM 2022): HR+/HER2-low — mPFS 10.1 vs 5.4 mo (HR 0.49, p<0.001); mOS 23.9 vs 17.5 mo (HR 0.64, p=0.003). HR-/HER2-low (TNBC subgroup) — mOS 18.2 vs 8.3 mo. DESTINY-Breast06 (Curigliano et al. NEJM 2024) extended indication to HER2-low and HER2-ultralow (IHC 0 with incomplete staining) HR+/HER2- endocrine-pretreated patients — mPFS 13.2 vs 8.1 mo (HR 0.62, p<0.001). T-DXd dose: 5.4 mg/kg IV q3w. Key safety: interstitial lung disease (ILD) / pneumonitis ~12% (grade ≥3 ~3%) — mandatory baseline CT and monitoring per NCCN/ESMO. HER2-low reclassification affects ~60% of previously HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer patients — large population impact. | trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) 5.4 mg/kg IV q3w monotherapy (post-chemotherapy; DESTINY-Breast04) trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) 5.4 mg/kg IV q3w monotherapy (post-endocrine HR+ disease; DESTINY-Breast06) |
