Genentech Seeks Expanded Use of Avastin in Breast Cancer

Data from DESTINY-Breast09 may support trastuzumab deruxtecan plus pertuzumab as a frontline standard of care in HER2-positive advanced breast cancer.

Findings highlight a need to incorporate diverse populations when developing guideline-concordant breast cancer care to achieve efficacy for all patients.

Data from the NeoSTAR trial showed no new safety signals with sacituzumab govitecan plus pembrolizumab for early-stage triple-negative breast cancer.

Paolo Tarantino, MD, and Matteo Lambertini, MD, PhD discuss findings related to CDK4/6 inhibitors and antibody drug conjugates presented at SABCS 2024.

Patients who received ipatasertib/fulvestrant in the intention-to-treat population achieved a median PFS of 5.32 months compared with 1.94 months in the placebo arm.

In the phase 3 DESTINY-Breast06 trial, the overall biomarker-evaluable population’s confirmed ORR was 59.4% with T-DXd vs 33.9% with chemotherapy.
