AstraZeneca and Daiichi Sankyo received European Commission approval for Enhertu as adjuvant monotherapy for HER2-positive early breast cancer patients with residual invasive disease after neoadjuvant therapy. The approval is based on the DESTINY-Breast05 Phase III trial, in which Enhertu cut the risk of invasive disease recurrence or death by 53% versus T-DM1, with a three-year IDFS rate of 92.4% versus 83.7%. This is the first EU approval of Enhertu in a curative-intent early breast cancer setting, extending the ADC into earlier lines of treatment where patient volumes are larger.
