#ASCO25 day 4: early LBA session in #BreastCancer A possible new SOC in the first-line setting for HER2+ MBC DESTINY-Breast09: - Median PFS was significantly improved with T-DXd+P vs THP (40.7 months vs 26.9 months) - Benefit consistent across subgroups - Median DOR > 3 years

#ASCO25 day 4: early LBA session in #BreastCancer

A possible new SOC in the first-line setting for HER2+ MBC

DESTINY-Breast09:
- Median PFS was significantly improved with T-DXd+P vs THP (40.7 months vs 26.9 months)
- Benefit consistent across subgroups
- Median DOR > 3 years

Important to note that in the randomized trial showing equivalence of TCHP and THP that patients got 18 weeks of therapy with THP (not the more common 12 weeks) which might account for both higher pCR rates and lack of need for carboplatin.

The NCCN has included adjuvant atezolizumab (for 1 year) in the treatment of stage pT2c–III dMMR colon cancer. Given the positive trial results, its inclusion is certainly appropriate. However, the guideline adopts a somewhat conservative stance regarding neoadjuvant ICI use,
