Cost-effectiveness of trastuzumab deruxtecan as a second-line treatment for HER2-mutant advanced non-small cell lung cancer

Article

Author: You, Shuhui ; Gong, Caifeng ; Cai, Qi ; Zhang, Wen ; Huang, Jinglong ; Zhou, Aiping

The study of DESTINY-Lung01 and DESTINY-Lung02 demonstrated the favorable efficacy and optimal dosage of trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) in managing the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients who had received previous treatment. The study sought to assess the cost-effectiveness of T-DXd in both the United States (US) and Chinese healthcare systems. Markov models were developed to evaluate the overall cost, incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER), quality-adjusted life years (QALYs), and life years (LYs) of treatment with T-DXd compared with docetaxel, nivolumab, and pyrotinib for patients in the US and China. The level of willingness-to-pay (WTP) in the US and China is 150,000/QALYs and 32,517/QALYs, respectively. Sensitivity analyses were carried out to ensure the precision of the model. T-DXd yielded additional QALYs of 0.63 and 0.06 with an ICER of $338997.84 and $1437258.33 per QALY, respectively, in the US compared to the docetaxel and nivolumab regimens. And T-DXd yielded additional QALYs of 0.63, 0.06, and 0.13 with an ICER of $137959.45, $623805.93, and $515447.12 per QALY, respectively, in China compared to the docetaxel, nivolumab, and pyrotinib regimens. Sensitivity analysis showed that the cost of drugs is the most influential factor. T-DXd provides substantial therapeutic benefit for NSCLC patients with HER2 mutations who have had previous treatment but is not deemed cost-effective in either the US or China when compared to docetaxel, nivolumab, and pyrotinib. Price reduction is perhaps the main way to make T-DXd cost-effective.

Pyrotinib versus pertuzumab with trastuzumab and taxane in HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer: a Chinese multicenter real-world study

Article

Author: Feng, Ronghua ; Deng, Jian ; Ouyang, Quchang ; Li, Yongxin ; Hu, Zhe-Yu ; Wu, Tao ; Zhao, Jiuda ; Yi, Zongbi ; Xie, Ning ; Tian, Can ; Liu, Binliang

Abstract:

Importance:

THP (trastuzumab + paclitaxel + pertuzumab) and THPy (trastuzumab + paclitaxel + pyrotinib) are widely used as first-line regimens for human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC) in China. However, direct comparative data on their efficacy and safety remain scarce.

Objective:

To evaluate and compare the clinical outcomes of THPy and THP in the first-line treatment of HER2-positive MBC to guide clinical decision-making.

Design:

Real-world, multicenter retrospective study conducted from 2020 to 2024.

Setting:

Five large breast cancer centers in China.

Participants:

A total of 145 patients with HER2-positive MBC were included before propensity score matching (PSM). After PSM, 76 patients (38 in each group) were analyzed.

Intervention(s) or Exposure(s):

Patients received either THP (trastuzumab + paclitaxel + pertuzumab) or THPy (trastuzumab + paclitaxel + pyrotinib) as first-line treatment.

Main Outcome(s) and Measure(s):

The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). Secondary endpoints included objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate, and safety profile.

Results:

Before PSM, 145 patients were included, with the median follow-up of 9.4 months. The ORR was significantly higher in the THPy group (75.0%) compared to the THP group (56.8%; P = .023). Median PFS showed a trend favoring THPy (19.80 months vs 15.57 months; Log-rank P = .343). After PSM, 76 patients were matched, with the median PFS of 24.33 months versus 14.50 months for THPy and THP groups, respectively. Though the difference in PFS was not statistically significant (Log-rank P = .309), THPy demonstrated a higher ORR compared to THP (78.9% vs 57.9%; P = .048). Further subgroup analysis revealed greater benefits of THPy, particularly in patients with prior neoadjuvant therapy (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.261; 95% CI: 0.072-0.940). Regarding safety, THPy was associated with a higher incidence of grade 3/4 diarrhea (26.6% vs 3.1%) as well as increased rates of neutropenia, anemia, alanine aminotransferase elevation, fatigue, and peripheral neuropathy compared to THP.

Conclusion and Relevance:

Both THP and THPy are effective first-line options for HER2-positive MBC. While THPy demonstrates a higher ORR and a trend toward longer PFS, it also carries a higher incidence of adverse events, particularly diarrhea. These findings offer preliminary insights that may help inform treatment decisions, pending further validation in prospective studies.

Spatial discovery of pyrotinib overcoming HER2-positive breast cancer resistance by breaking fibroblast-induced immune barriers

Article

Author: Xu, Yiying ; Cheng, Pu ; Zhang, Qiongying ; Li, Lili ; Ren, Guohong ; Hu, Hanwen ; Wang, Ouchen ; Yang, Chenghui ; Wang, Zhen ; Zhang, Anqi ; Lin, Zhongmin ; Ye, Zhiqiang

BACKGROUND:

The TCbHP regimen, consisting of combining docetaxel (T), carboplatin (Cb), trastuzumab (H), and pertuzumab (P), is the preferred neoadjuvant treatment for locally advanced human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer. However, about 40 % of patients develop resistance to this treatment. Adding TKIs like pyrotinib to anti-HER2 antibodies may enhance efficacy and reduce resistance, but the mechanisms are not fully understood.

METHODS:

Imaging mass cytometry (IMC) analyzed tissues from 26 patients treated with NeoPICD (docetaxel, carboplatin, pyrotinib, inetetamab) and 21 patients treated with TCbHP. Cellular changes and spatial relationships were assessed pre- and post-treatment. A co-culture system of tumor cells, fibroblasts, and PBMCs were used to examined cytotoxic T-cell function. A predictive model for treatment outcomes was constructed based on these results.

RESULTS:

In TCbHP-sensitive patients, IDO^hiHLA-DR^hi epithelial cells expressing PD-L1 were enriched and interacted with Ki67⁺ T cells and M1 macrophages. In TCbHP-resistant patients, fibroblasts formed a barrier that hindered immune cell access, critical for resistance. NeoPICD disrupted this barrier, enhancing immune cell infiltration and alleviating resistance. Machine learning based on spatial cell architecture can predict treatment outcomes.

CONCLUSION:

Spatial organization of cellular interactions in the tumor microenvironment (TME) provides insights into prognosis beyond pathological subtypes. The role of NeoPICD in disruption of fibroblast barriers and enhancement of immune cell function suggests therapeutic advantages in overcoming resistance to anti-HER2 therapies. This research offers new strategies for precision treatment of locally advanced HER2-positive breast cancer.

Kelun-Biotech's Core product Trastuzumab Botidotin Approved for Marketing by NMPA for HER2-positive BC

CHENGDU, China, Oct. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Sichuan Kelun-Biotech Biopharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (the "Company") announced that the Company's human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-directed antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) trastuzumab botidotin (also known as A166) was approved for marketing by the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) for the treatment of adult patients with unresectable or metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer (BC) who have received one or more prior anti-HER2 therapy. The approval is based on a multi-center, randomized, open-label, controlled, Phase 3 KL166-III-06 study that evaluates the efficacy and safety profile of trastuzumab botidotin versus T-DM1 in patients with HER2-positive unresectable or metastatic BC who have received prior trastuzumab and taxane-containing regimens. At a pre-specified interim analysis, trastuzumab botidotin monotherapy demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in the primary endpoint of progression-free survival (PFS) as assessed by the blinded independent central review (BICR) compared with T-DM1; the beneficial trend for overall survival (OS) of trastuzumab botidotin was also observed. Results from this study will be presented as an oral report at the 2025 European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress held in Berlin, Germany (Presentation # LBA24, Proffered paper session 1: Breast cancer, metastatic). The Company has initiated an open, multi-center Phase 2 clinical study of trastuzumab botidotin in the treatment of HER2+ unresectable or metastatic BC that previously received a topoisomerase inhibitor ADC. Dr. Michael Ge, CEO of Kelun-Biotech said, "We are thrilled to see our first HER2 ADC drug, trastuzumab botidotin, successfully approved for market. This marks a significant advancement in the treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer. As China's first domestically developed HER2 ADC capable of broadly covering 2L+ HER2 BC patients, trastuzumab botidotin leverages its differentiated structural design to deliver superior efficacy while addressing unmet clinical needs in this population." About HER2+ BC Breast cancer, as the most common malignant tumor, poses a serious threat to women's health. Among its subtypes, HER2-positive breast cancer accounts for approximately 15%–20% of all breast cancer cases[1], and is characterized by its aggressiveness and high malignancy. According to the 2025 CSCO guidelines, first-line treatment for HER2-positive breast cancer primarily consists of trastuzumab and pertuzumab in combination with taxane-based chemotherapeutic agents. Second-line treatment regimens comprise tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs, such as pyrotinib) and antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs, such as T-DM1 and T-DXd). Following disease progression on second-line therapy, subsequent treatment strategies are determined based on prior second-line regimens, the patient's tolerance to therapy, tumor burden, and other relevant factors. Despite recent advances in anti-HER2 therapeutics, a significant number of patients still experience drug resistance or severe adverse effects, highlighting an urgent need for agents with improved safety profiles to address the treatment requirements of patients with recurrent or drug-resistant HER2-positive breast cancer. A bout trastuzumab botidotin Trastuzumab botidotin is a differentiated HER2 ADC to treat advanced HER2+ solid tumors. As an innovative HER2 ADC developed by the Company, it conjugates a novel, monomethyl auristatin F (MMAF) derivative (a highly cytotoxic tubulin inhibitor, Duo-5) via a stable, enzyme-cleavable linker to a HER2 monoclonal antibody with a drug-to-antibody-ratio (DAR) of 2. Trastuzumab botidotin specifically binds to HER2 on the surface of tumor cells and is internalized by tumor cells, releasing the toxin molecule Duo-5 inside the cell. Duo-5 induces tumor cell cycle arrest in the G2/M phase, leading to tumor cell apoptosis. After targeting HER2, trastuzumab botidotin can also inhibit the HER2 signaling pathway; it has antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) activity. About Kelun-Biotech Kelun-Biotech (6990.HK) is a holding subsidiary of Kelun Pharmaceutical (002422.SZ), which focuses on the R&D, manufacturing, commercialization and global collaboration of innovative biological drugs and small molecule drugs.
