Datopotamab Deruxtecan Redefines Progression-Free Survival in HR+/HER2- Breast Cancer Despite Neutral Overall Survival Results

The final TROPION-Breast01 analysis confirms datopotamab deruxtecan's superior progression-free survival over chemotherapy in HR+/HER2- breast cancer. While overall survival did not reach significance, likely due to subsequent ADC crossover, the drug maintains a favorable safety profile and clinical utility.

Antibody–Drug Conjugates and Heart Risk in HER2-Positive Advanced Breast Cancer: What Clinicians Need to Know

A 2025 meta-analysis of 9,538 patients found trastuzumab emtansine (T‑DM1) carries the lowest incidence of LVEF decline (0.94%), while trastuzumab deruxtecan (T‑DXd) and trastuzumab-based combinations show similar, modest rates (≈4–5%). Trial selection and monitoring practices limit generalizability; baseline cardiac assessment and individualized surveillance remain essential.
