Kohei Shitara։ DG04 Took 3.5+ Years for HER2 Confirmation

Kohei Shitara, Director of National Cancer Center Hospital East, shared a post on X:

“DG04 officially published NEJM, ASCO.

This comes 10 years after my first phase 1 patient. DG04 took 3.5+ years due to <15% HER2+ and fresh biopsy to confirm HER2. Grateful for global effort—hoping this expands T-DXd access worldwide.”

Title: Trastuzumab Deruxtecan or Ramucirumab plus Paclitaxel in Gastric Cancer
