ENHERTU® (fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan-nxki) reduced the risk of disease recurrence or death by 53% vs. T-DM1 in patients with high-risk HER2-positive early breast cancer following neoadjuvant therapy in DESTINY-Breast05 Phase III trial

WILMINGTON, Del., October 18, 2025--Positive results from the DESTINY-Breast05 Phase III trial showed ENHERTU® (fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan-nxki) demonstrated a highly statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in invasive disease-free survival (IDFS) in patients with a high risk of disease recurrence. The trial compared ENHERTU with trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) as a post-neoadjuvant treatment (after surgery) in patients with HER2-positive early breast cancer with residual i
