Enhertu (Fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan-nxki) is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) for HER2-positive tumors, jointly developed by AstraZeneca and Daiichi Sankyo. Its mechanism of action is to deliver cytotoxic drugs into cancer cells by targeting HER2 overexpressed on the surface of tumor cells, achieving precision treatment.

Clinical trials and efficacy
In the [DESTINY-Breast09 trial, Enhertu combined with Pertuzumab reduced the risk of disease progression or death by 44%, the median progression-free survival was 40.7 months (26.9 months in the control group), and the objective response rate was confirmed to be 85.1%. This regimen is the first breakthrough therapy in more than a decade to improve efficacy in first-line treatment regimens.
