DESTINY-Breast03 is a randomized, multicenter, open-label, phase III study of trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) versus trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) in patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive metastatic breast cancer (mBC) previously treated with trastuzumab and a taxane. A statistically significant improvement in progression-free survival (PFS) versus T-DM1 was reported in the primary analysis. Here, we report exploratory efficacy data in patients with and without brain metastases (BMs) at baseline.

Clinical trials frequently include multiple end points that mature at different times. The initial report, typically based on the primary end point, may be published when key planned co-primary or secondary analyses are not yet available. Clinical Trial Updates provide an opportunity to disseminate additional results from studies, published in JCO or elsewhere, for which the primary end point has already been reported. Sacituzumab govitecan (SG), a first-in-class anti–trophoblast cell surface antigen 2 (Trop-2) antibody-drug conjugate, demonstrated superior efficacy over single-agent chemotherapy (treatment of physician’s choice [TPC]) in patients with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC) in the international, multicenter, phase III ASCENT study. Patients were randomly assigned 1:1 to receive SG or TPC until unacceptable toxicity/progression. Final efficacy secondary end point analyses and post hoc analyses of outcomes stratified by Trop-2 expression and human epidermal gro

Erika Hamilton, MD, Sarah Cannon Research Institute, Nashville, TN, comments on results by age in the Phase III monarchE trial (NCT03155997) of adjuvant abemaciclib combined with endocrine therapy in patients with high-risk early breast cancer. Patients aged 65 years or over had survival outcomes similar to those who are younger. Safety and tolerability were also comparable, and dose reduction is additionally possible, reducing the rate of discontinuation.

A significant reason is the improvement of early cancer detection and prevention. We talk a lot about the importance of cancer screening, with good reason: When cancer is caught early, it’s often easier to treat or
