Paolo Tarantino: How to Treat Patients with Metastatic Breast Cancer After Prior Exposure to T-DXd?

Paolo Tarantino, 2025 Yvonne’s “Top Voice” Award Winner, Associate Editor for Breast Cancer at ESMO Open, shared a post on LinkedIn:

“How to treat patients with metastatic breast cancer after prior exposure to T-DXd?

We conducted a large (~800 pts) retrospective analysis using the Flatiron database to unveil the performance of different treatment regimens used immediately after T-DXd.

We found that:

  • changing mechanism of action of the post-T-DXd treatment works best (rwPFS 4-6 months with capecitabine, eribulin, endocrine treatment)
  •  using SG after T-DXd led to rwPFS ≤3 months across subtypes, both if used immediately or after an intermediate line of chemo
  •  better outcomes with SG were observed in patients that discontinued T-DXd in the absence of progression, or that were on prior T-DXd for a short time.”
