Matt Sagan: Moving from HER2+ to HER2-low to HER2- ultralow
Matt Sagan, of FiBioMed, shared a post by Paolo Tarantino on X, adding:
“It took us 24 years to move from HER2+ to HER2 low And it took is 2 years from HER2 low to HER2 ultralow.
Stay tuned! Interesting what 2025 will bring in that space.”
Quoting Paolo Tarantino’s post:
- “1998: the FDA approves trastuzumab. HER2+ becomes clinically relevant.
- 2022: T-DXd improves outcomes in HER2-low MBC. HER2-low becomes clinically relevant.
- 2024: T-DXd improves outcomes in HER2-low and ultra low. HER2-ultralow becomes clinically relevant.
Stay tuned.”
