📍HER2+ T-DXd+P is likely the new 1L SOC but many questions remain in HR+ pts, QOL, & potential maintenance strategies
📍TNBC SG+pembro likely new 1L SOC but we need more therapies for these patients

Amazing talk #ASCO2025 Highlights in MBC @maryamlustberg.bsky.social @yalecancer.bsky.social
📍HR+ multiple targeted agents now available, optimal sequencing remains unclear, we need to study in combinations

🚨Practice changing interim results DESTINY-Breast09 evaluating 1st Line T-DXd + P vs THP in HER2+ MBC
🔹PFS 40.7 m vs 26.9 m!
🔹PFS2 not reached vs 36.5 m
🔹 OS immature

Lots of buzz around TBCRC 040 PREDICT-DNA trial presented by Dr. Natasha Hunter 🐝 ➰
➡️ Among pts w/ Stg II-III HER2+ & TNBC receiving NAT ctDNA may be may be a better biomarker than pCR for longterm outcomes 🧬
🔸54% ctDNA <100 ppm after NAT
🔸NPV for residual disease 60%

Outstanding talk by Dr. Ian Krop on antibody drug conjugates in the era of targeted therapies. 🔬So much groundbreaking work has been done and there’s still more work to do in understanding mechanism, mechanisms of resistance, and biomarkers for response📈📌 #ASCO2025
