Biomarker analyses in patients with HER2-positive or HER2-low gastric and gastro-oesophageal junction cancer treated with trastuzumab deruxtecan

 Findings of the DESTINY-Gastric01 randomized study, comparing trastuzumab deruxtecan vs. third line or later chemotherapy in HER2-positive gastric or gastro-esophageal cancer patients, was recently published in Nature Medicine. While the authors acknowledge that further investigations in larger studies is needed, "the biomarkers identified in this analysis are being investigated and validated in additional studies."
