Panelists discuss how the HER2CLIMB-02 and HER2CLIMB-05 trials might impact treatment sequencing, with particular interest in using tucatinib earlier in treatment to potentially prevent brain metastases.

Panelists discuss how National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines inform third-line treatment options for HER2-positive (HER2+) metastatic breast cancer, with particular focus on the HER2CLIMB regimen (tucatinib, capecitabine, and trastuzumab) for patients with brain metastases.

Panelists discuss how fourth-line treatment options include margetuximab (which interacts better with the immune system), neratinib-capecitabine (an irreversible pan-HER inhibitor), and antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) with different payloads, though toxicity profiles must be considered.

Panelists discuss how third-line treatment options after T-DXd progression include T-DM1 and the HER2CLIMB regimen (tucatinib-capecitabine-trastuzumab), with consideration of brain metastases as a key factor in treatment selection.

Panelists discuss how they would approach multiple brain metastases at initial metastatic diagnosis, debating the use of stereotactic radiosurgery vs systemic therapy with agents that cross the blood-brain barrier.

Panelists discuss how they approach the case of a 47-year-old marketing executive with initially low-risk HER2-positive (HER2+) breast cancer who developed brain, liver, lung, and bone metastases shortly after completing adjuvant therapy.

Panelists discuss how the treatment landscape for early HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer has evolved, with taxane-pertuzumab-trastuzumab as first-line standard of care and T-DXd supplanting T-DM1 as the preferred second-line treatment.

Panelists discuss how different gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists like leuprolide and goserelin are equally efficacious for ovarian function suppression but differ in administration methods, needle size, and patient comfort.

Panelists discuss how the presence of brain metastases influences treatment decisions in HER2-positive (HER2+) breast cancer, highlighting the DESTINY-Breast12 trial demonstrating trastuzumab deruxtecan’s (T-DXd) efficacy in patients with brain metastases.

Panelists discuss how they manage adverse effects of trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd), particularly focusing on nausea, fatigue, and the critical monitoring needed for interstitial lung disease (ILD), with recommendations for prophylactic antiemetics and frequent imaging.

Panelists discuss how they approach treatment sequencing for HER2-positive (HER2+) metastatic breast cancer (mBC) after progression on first-line therapy, including considerations for trastuzumab deruxtecan and the impressive results from the PATINA trial adding CDK4/6 inhibitors to maintenance therapy.

Panelists discuss how a 52-year-old elementary school teacher diagnosed with HER2-positive (HER2+) breast cancer achieved pathologic complete response with neoadjuvant therapy but experienced metastasis 18 months after completing treatment, requiring first-line metastatic therapy.

Panelists discuss how ovarian suppression combined with endocrine therapy shows benefits for premenopausal patients with triple-positive breast cancer, particularly in younger, high-risk populations.

Panelists discuss how treatment strategies for triple-positive breast cancer (hormone receptor [HR] positive and HER2 positive) differ from those for hormone receptor–negative, HER2-positive disease, with emphasis on balancing endocrine therapy, HER2-targeted therapy, and chemotherapy.
