Safety Data

ENHERTU has serious Warnings and Precautions. Please click here for full full Prescribing Information, including Boxed WARNINGS, and click here for Medication Guide.

Safety data from Phase 2 DESTINY-Breast01 and Phase 1 DS8201-A-J101 established the initial benefit-risk profile for ENHERTU (5.4 mg/kg, N=234)1

The majority of adverse reactions were Grade 1 or 21

The safety of ENHERTU was evaluated in a pooled analysis of 234 patients with unresectable or metastatic HER2+ breast cancer who received at least one dose of ENHERTU 5.4 mg/kg in Phase 2 DESTINY-Breast01 and Phase 1 Study DS8201-A-J1011

  • Median duration of treatment was 7 months (range: 0.7 to 31)1
  • 94% of patients had visceral disease1
  • 31% of patients had bone metastases1
  • 13% of patients had brain metastases1
  • In the clinical trials, prophylactic or supportive treatment of ENHERTU-induced adverse events was not mandated and was per investigator's discretion and institutional guidelines2

Events were graded using NCI-CTCAE version 4.03. N=number of patients exposed; PT=preferred term. Percentages were calculated using the number of patients in the Safety Analysis Set as the denominator.

aGrouped term of abdominal pain includes PTs of abdominal discomfort, gastrointestinal pain, abdominal pain, abdominal pain lower, and abdominal pain upper. bGrouped term of stomatitis includes PTs of stomatitis, aphthous ulcer, mouth ulceration, oral mucosa erosion, and oral mucosa blistering. One Grade 1 event of aphthous ulcer was not included in the summary of grouped term stomatitis (from DESTINY-Breast01). cGrouped term of fatigue includes PTs of fatigue and asthenia. dThis Grade 3 event was reported by the investigator. Per NCI-CTCAE v.4.03, the highest NCI-CTCAE grade for alopecia is Grade 2. eGrouped term of rash includes PTs of rash, rash pustular, and rash maculo-papular. fGrouped term of anemia includes PTs of anemia, hemoglobin decreased, hematocrit decreased, and red blood cell count decreased. gInterstitial lung disease includes events that were adjudicated as ILD: pneumonitis, interstitial lung disease, respiratory failure, organizing pneumonia, acute respiratory failure, lung infiltration, lymphangitis, and alveolitis. hAll events had fatal outcomes (n=6). iGrouped term of headache includes PTs of headache, sinus headache, and migraine. jGrouped term of upper respiratory tract infection includes PTs of influenza, influenza-like illness, and upper respiratory tract infection. kThis Grade 4 event was reported by the investigator. Per NCI-CTCAE v.4.03, the highest NCI-CTCAE grade for dry eye is Grade 3.1

  • NCCN Guidelines® for Antiemesis lists fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan-nxki (ENHERTU) as moderate emetic risk and recommends
    several prophylactic antiemetic regimens to decrease potential vomiting3
  • NCCN antiemesis prophylactic and management strategies3:
    • Day 1: 5-HT3 receptor antagonist with dexamethasone before fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan-nxki (ENHERTU) infusion
    • Days 2 and 3: Dexamethasone or 5-HT3 receptor antagonist
    • Day 22: Repeat cycle

Incidence of select adverse reactions (all Grades) decreased by cycle in patients who received ENHERTU in DESTINY-Breast01 (5.4 mg/kg; N=184)2,m

m As reported by the investigator. nAvailable data did not allow for differentiation between prophylaxis use and treatment of these adverse reactions.
  • The majority of these select adverse reactions occurred during the first 2 cycles
  • Rates decreased in subsequent cycles for each of these select adverse reactions
  • No conclusions may be drawn on whether the decreased rates are due to increased tolerance, patient discontinuations, use of prophylactic therapies, or dose modifications

ENHERTU established the initial benefit-risk profile with further observations of other adverse reactions in pooled analysis (5.4 mg/kg, N=234)1

Other clinically relevant adverse reactions reported in <10% of patients were:
  • Injury, Poisoning, and Procedural Complications: infusion-related reactions (2.6%)
  • Blood and Lymphatic System Disorders: febrile neutropenia (1.7%)

Serious adverse reactions occurred in 20% of patients receiving ENHERTU.

Serious adverse reactions in >1% of patients included:
  • Interstitial lung disease (ILD)
  • Pneumonia
  • Vomiting
  • Nausea
  • Cellulitis
  • Hypokalemia
  • Intestinal obstruction
Fatalities due to adverse reactions occurred in 4.3% of patients:
  • Interstitial lung disease (2.6%)
  • Acute hepatic failure/acute kidney injury (0.4%)
  • General physical health deterioration (0.4%)
  • Pneumonia (0.4%)
  • Hemorrhagic shock (0.4%)

Adverse reactions may require dose discontinuation, interruption, or reduction1

Drug interaction studies1

  • Clinical studies: There were no clinically meaningful drug-drug interactions between ENHERTU and itraconazole (CYP3A inhibitor), as well as ritonavir (OATP inhibitor)
  • In vitro studies: DXd did not inhibit common CYP enzymes (CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP3A) nor induce CYP1A2, CYP2B6, or CYP3A
  • In vitro studies: At clinically relevant concentrations, DXd has a low potential to inhibit the transporters OAT1, OAT3, OCT1, OCT2, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, MATE1, MATE2-K, P-gp, BCRP, or BSEP transporters
