Amol Akhade: HER2CLIMB – 05 Explores Tucatinib in 1L HER2 Positive Metastatic Breast Cancer

Amol Akhade, Senior Consultant at Fortis Hospitals Mumbai, shared a post on X:

“Breaking: HER2CLIMB-05

Pfizer reports positive Phase 3 results — adding TUKYSA (tucatinib) to trastuzumab plus pertuzumab maintenance significantly improves PFS in first-line HER2 positive metastatic breast cancer.

  • Trial: HER2CLIMB-05
  • Setting: 1L maintenance after chemotherapy plus HP
  • Result: PFS versus placebo
  • Drug: TUKYSA plus HP

First frontline advance since CLEOPATRA 2012

Erika Hamilton shared a post by Amol Akhade, adding:

“Now for the fun – we are likely to have multiple options in 1L HER-2 positive BCSM.

  • 1L THP to TH plus tucatinib (HER2CLIMB-05)
  • 1L THP to TH plus  AI plus palbo (PATINA)
  • 1L TDX-d to plus/minus maintenance? (DB-09)

Desire for maintenance strategy I think remains high (efficacy, QOL, tolerability)!”
