Chemotherapy-free regimen of tucatinib and trastuzumab shows anti-tumour activity with durable responses in patients with HER2-mutated metastatic breast cancer

 Results of the open-label phase II trial, SGNTUC-019, "evaluating tucatinib in combination with trastuzumab" in patients with HER2-mutated metastatic breast cancer, showed that this form of treatment was well tolerated with diarrhea noted as the most common adverse event.  In addition, study authors noted that most events had a grade 1 severity, which were managed with standard clinical care; grade 3 occurrence was noted in 13% of cases.
