[Articles] Safety, pharmacokinetics, and antitumour activity of trastuzumab deruxtecan (DS-8201), a HER2-targeting antibody–drug conjugate, in patients with advanced breast and gastric or gastro-oesophageal tumours: a phase 1 dose-escalation study
The maximum tolerated dose of trastuzumab deruxtecan was not reached. In this small, heavily pretreated study population, trastuzumab deruxtecan showed antitumour activity, even in low HER2-expressing tumours. Based on safety and activity, the most likely recommended phase 2 dosing is 5·4 or 6·4 mg/kg.
