In this episode, listen to Stephanie L. Graff, MD, FACP, FASCO; and Laura M. Spring, MD, share their clinical insights and takeaways regarding the current treatment landscape for first-line treatment of patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer including:

  • Data from multicenter, single-arm, phase IIIb/IV DESTINY-Breast12 evaluating trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) in patients with advanced HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer and 2 or fewer previous therapies
  • Treatment sequencing and preferred treatment options in patients with brain metastases
  • Results from phase III PATINA trial of trastuzumab, pertuzumab, plus endocrine therapy with or without palbociclib in hormone-receptor positive/HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer
  • Thoughts on the use of T-DXd earlier in the treatment paradigm in light of recent results from the PATINA trial and highly anticipated results from the DESTINY-Breast09 trial
