  • Datopotamab deruxtecan has been recommended for approval in the EU for adults with unresectable or metastatic HR-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer post-endocrine and chemotherapy

  • Patients treated with datopotamab deruxtecan had a median PFS of 6.9 months versus 4.9 months with chemotherapy, and an ORR of 36% compared to 23% in the chemotherapy arm

  • The safety profile was favorable, with fewer grade 3 or higher TRAEs (21% vs. 45% with chemotherapy); the most common were neutropenia, stomatitis, fatigue, and anemia

  • Datopotamab deruxtecan is already approved in the U.S. and Japan, with additional regulatory submissions under review in China and other regions
