In Japan, breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, with approximately 92,000 cases of breast cancer diagnosed in 2020
DESTINY-Breast09 Phase III trial of AstraZeneca and Daiichi Sankyo’s Enhertu is the first trial in more than a decade to demonstrate superior efficacy across a broad HER2-positive metastatic patient population versus current 1st-line standard of care
Approval brings AstraZeneca and Daiichi Sankyo’s Enhertu earlier in the treatment of HR-positive, HER2-low breast cancer and broadens the eligible patient population to those with HER2-ultralow disease
Based on DESTINY-Breast06 Phase III trial results which showed Enhertu demonstrated superiority vs. chemotherapy with a median progression-free survival of more than one year
Enhertu demonstrated clinically meaningful efficacy in previously treated patients
Third approval in China for AstraZeneca and Daiichi Sankyo’s Enhertu in less than two years
Approximately half of all patients with metastatic breast cancer (mBC) express low levels of HER2
Enhertu now has five approved indications with the latest in HER2-expressing (IHC 3+) metastatic cancers
