These patients should have received a previous systemic treatment in the metastatic setting, or have experienced a recurrence of the condition during or within six months of receiving adjuvant chemotherapy.
Trial data showed that the therapy reduced disease progression or the risk of death by half, and boosted median overall survival by more than six months compared with physician’s choice of chemotherapy.
In February 2023, the ADC was approved for treating priorly treated unresectable or metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer.
AstraZeneca oncology business unit executive vice-president Dave Fredrickson stated: “The results from the DESTINY-Breast04 trial show Enhertu provides a significant improvement in outcomes compared to chemotherapy for patients whose tumours are determined to be HER2-low via routine testing.
“This approval is an important advance in the way breast cancer is classified and treated in China and supports our vision to bring Enhertu to more patients worldwide.”
