  • The HER2-ultralow cohort was an exploratory population. The data are descriptive and were not tested for statistical significance, nor powered to show a difference between treatment arms. Therefore, the clinical significance of these data cannot be determined

  • ORR was not tested for statistical significance and was not powered to show differences between treatment arms. Therefore, the clinical significance of these data cannot be determined

aBased on unstratified analysis.

bBased on stratified analysis with stratification factors prior CDK4/6 inhibitor use (yes vs no) and HER2 IHC status of tumor samples (IHC 1+ vs IHC 2+/ISH–).

cAnalysis was performed based on the patients with measurable disease assessed by BICR at baseline.

Not all HER2 IHC reports will include complete information to inform HER2-low or HER2-ultralow status

To confirm HER2 status, look for the following in HER2 IHC reports1,3:

This example report has been adapted from the College of American Pathologists Breast Biomarker Reporting Template for HER2 IHC.

dNot every report may look like this example, so it is important to read all comments and notes.

eAs demonstrated in DESTINY-Breast06 screening data. Among the 1856 patients screened for participation in the study, 12% (225 patients) had IHC 0 with absent membrane staining, while 22% (402 patients) were classified as HER2-ultralow, defined as IHC 0 with membrane staining. IHC 1+ was observed in 45% (829 patients), and IHC 2+/ISH– in 21% (385 patients).4

fMedian baseline tumor size in the ITT population (per BICR) was 48.6 mm, considering “0” as baseline tumor size for patients without target lesion at baseline.

gENHERTU and chemotherapy subgroups were matched by physician's choice of chemotherapy before randomization.

h60% of patients in the chemotherapy arm received capecitabine.

i40% of patients in the chemotherapy arm received taxanes.

jIHC 0+ refers to tumors with faint, partial membrane staining in ≤10% of tumor cells.

kAssess for germline BRCA1/2 mutations in all patients with recurrent or metastatic breast cancer to identify candidates for PARPi therapy.

lThe distinction between HER2 test results of IHC 0/absent membrane staining, IHC 0+/with membrane staining (faint, partial membrane staining in ≤10%), IHC 1+, or 2+/ISH negative is currently clinically relevant for therapy selection.
