HER2 ultra-low Metastatic Breast Cancer Patients
with HR+/HER2-low or HR+/HER2-ultralow mBC1 DESTINY-Breast06 has expanded
the potential eligibility for HER2-directed therapy
to a new group of patients1
aAmong the 1856 patients included in the study, 12%
(225 patients) had IHC 0 with absent membrane staining, while
22% (402 patients) were classified as HER2-ultralow, defined
as IHC 0 with membrane staining.
IHC 1+ was observed in 45%
(829 patients), and IHC 2+/ISH– in 21% (385 patients).2
- Median follow-up: 18.6 months4
- Overall survival data were immature (39%)
at the time of analysis3,4
(HR: 0.62; 95% CI: 0.52, 0.75; P<0.0001)3
(March 2024)
Median PFS, months
Consistent results in patients after 1L ET ± targeted therapy for mBC and progression ≤6 months after starting 1L ET + CDK4/6i
or recurrence ≤24 months of starting adjuvant ET3
Size of circle is proportional to the number of events. Data show
results of an exploratory analysis; subgroups were chosen based
on DESTINY-Breast06 stratification factors.3,5 Pre-specified
subgroup analyses were not
tested for statistical significance and
not powered to show a difference between treatment arms.3
aBased on central laboratory data (ie, most recent evaluable
sample prior to randomization).3 bSpecified by investigator prior
to randomization.3

Response rates with ENHERTU and chemotherapy (secondary endpoint)3
ORR and DOR were not tested for statistical significance, and the study was not powered to show differences between treatment arms.3
