In sufferers with HER2-positive metastatic breast most cancers, health-related high quality of life (HRQOL) and neurological perform information have been relative to the efficacy and security profile of Enhertu (fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan-nxki) whatever the presence of secure or energetic mind metastases, in keeping with findings from a part 3b/4 trial.

The DESTINY-Breast12 trial, which was offered through the 2024 San Antonio Breast Most cancers (SABCS), deterioration-free charges have been evaluated. This included cognitive, emotional, bodily, function and social functioning talents.
