Katy Beckermann, Medical Director of GU Clinical Research at Tennessee Oncology, shared a post on X about a paper by Pasi A. Jänne et al. published in JAMA Network:
“Growing NSCLC data offer lessons for bladder cancer as prolonged OS with EVP brings more brain mets into view. T-DXd shows meaningful CNS activity that matters across GU practice.
- Systemic ORR 47 to 50 percent with brain mets
- Intracranial ORR 50 percent at 5.4 mg/kg
- Median PFS 7.1 months with brain mets
- Safety manageable, favoring 5.4 mg/kg
Reinforces the importance of anticipating CNS disease as outcomes improve.”
