Durable responses in patients with HER2+ breast cancer and leptomeningeal metastases treated with trastuzumab deruxtecan

Abstract Leptomeningeal metastases (LM) are a devastating complication of HER2 + metastatic breast cancer (MBC), with no effective treatments. In a case series of 8 patients with heavily pretreated HER2 + MBC and progressing LM, all 8 patients (100%) derived clinical benefit from Trastuzumab deruxte...

description Abstract Leptomeningeal metastases (LM) are a devastating complication of HER2 + metastatic breast cancer (MBC), with no effective treatments. In a case series of 8 patients with heavily pretreated HER2 + MBC and progressing LM, all 8 patients (100%) derived clinical benefit from Trastuzumab deruxtecan (TDXd), and 4 patients (50%) had an objective partial response based on formal neuroradiology MRI reads using the EORTC/RANO-LM Revised-Scorecard. T-DXd warrants further study in LM in HER2 + MBC and solid tumors where T-DXd may be active.
