Antibody-drug conjugates in patients with advanced/metastatic HER2-low-expressing breast cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis. (PubMed, Ther Adv Med Oncol)
Studies evaluating ADCs (trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd), sacituzumab govitecan (SG), MRG002, and RC48-ADC) in patients with HER2-low a/mBC were included. Future studies should focus on bringing ADCs into earlier lines of therapy in this population. This study was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42024452962).

Efficacy of disitamab vedotin in non-small cell lung cancer with HER2 alterations: a multicenter, retrospective real-world study. (PubMed, Front Oncol)
The combination of RC48 with platinum+/- bevacizumab resulted in the highest ORR of 71.4% (5 out of 7 patients), with HER2 TKI following at a 50.0% ORR (4 out of 8 patients). RC48, particularly in combination regimens, demonstrates promising efficacy in advanced NSCLC with HER2 alterations. These findings underscore the need for further research to validate RC48's application in clinical practice.

Antibody-Drug Conjugates in Breast Cancer: Toward a Molecular Perspective Into Clinical Practice. (PubMed, JCO Precis Oncol)
From gemtuzumab ozogamicin to trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1), and now to third-generation agents such as trastuzumab deruxtecan (DS-8201) and disitamab vedotin (RC48), improvements have been made in target selectivity, potency, linker stability, and reduced off-target effects. ADCs represent a promising frontier in precision cancer treatment, with continued research enhancing their potential in breast cancer and beyond. This review provides a comprehensive exploration of ADCs' evolution in breast cancer therapy, offering a molecular perspective to inform clinical practice and update colleagues on this dynamic field.

Disitamab vedotin combined with apatinib in gastric cancer: A case report and review of literature. (PubMed, World J Clin Oncol)
Despite the unfavorable prognosis associated with advanced GC, the implementation of personalized treatment approaches may still prove beneficial for select patients. In patients with HER2-positive GC with extensive metastatic involvement, the use of the HER2-targeted combination with apatinib has demonstrated the potential to prolong both PFS and overall survival.

FOXA1, induced by RC48, regulates HER2 transcription to enhance the tumorigenic capacity of lung cancer through PI3K/AKT pathway. (PubMed, J Cancer)
Recently, the HER2-targeting antibody drug Disitamab vedotin (RC48) was approved and introduced primarily for gastric and bladder cancers, with minimal investigation in the field of lung cancer...In clinical specimens, heightened expressions of FOXA1 and HER2 correlate positively with clinical progression and poorer prognosis. These findings suggest that FOXA1 may serve as a potential biomarker or therapeutic target in future non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treatments, and ongoing research may position RC48 as a transformative agent in lung cancer therapy.

Case report: Successful treatment of advanced urothelial carcinoma with trophoblastic differentiation using Tislelizumab and Disitamab vedotin. (PubMed, Heliyon)
Tumor progression occurred after six cycles of Tislelizumab combined with chemotherapy (gemcitabine and cisplatin) followed by five cycles of Tislelizumab monotherapy. The prognosis of advanced urothelial carcinoma with trophoblastic differentiation is unfavorable, and the available therapeutic options are limited. Combining Tislelizumab with Disitamab vedotin presents a promising anti-tumor strategy that warrants further investigation.

Case report: Disitamab vedotin combined with immunotherapy demonstrated excellent efficacy in scrotal Paget's disease with Her-2 overexpression. (PubMed, Front Immunol)
This patient received disitamab vedotin (an antibody-drug conjugate, targeting Her-2) combined with serplulimab as first-line treatment. Disitamab vedotin combined with immunotherapy demonstrated a long-term clinical benefit in advanced Her-2-positive EMPD. For rare solid tumors with Her-2 overexpression, disitamab vedotin combined with immunotherapy might offer a viable therapeutic choice.

Partial response to trastuzumab deruxtecan (DS8201) following progression in HER2-amplified breast cancer with pulmonary metastases managed with disitamab vedotin (RC48): a comprehensive case report and literature review. (PubMed, Front Oncol)
After experiencing disease progression following HER2-targeted therapy with RC48, the patient achieved noticeable partial remission through a therapeutic regimen that combined trastuzumab deruxtecan (DS8201) and tislelizumab. The data suggest a promising role for DS8201 in managing advanced stages of HER2-amplified metastatic breast cancer, especially in cases that demonstrate progression after initial HER2-directed therapies using ADCs. Furthermore, its combination with anti-PD-1 agents enhances therapeutic efficacy by augmenting the anti-tumoral immune response.

Case report: Remarkable response to later-line surufatinib in an adult patient with liver metastatic of pancreatoblastoma. (PubMed, Front Pharmacol)
Surufatinib has demonstrated a progression-free survival (PFS) of no less than 14 months, and the patient's survival has endured for a duration of 33 months. This indicates the potential efficacy of surufatinib as a viable therapeutic alternative for adult patients afflicted with PB.

Systematic review of recent advancements in antibody-drug and bicycle toxin conjugates for the treatment of urothelial cancer. (PubMed, Ther Adv Urol)
These initial studies led to FDA approval of two antibody-drug conjugates, enfortumab vedotin and sacituzumab govitecan...The combination of enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab was recently approved for first-line treatment of advanced urothelial carcinoma. Despite the great promise of these novel drugs, robust predictive biomarkers are needed to determine the patients who would maximally benefit. This review surveys the rationale and current state of the evidence for these new drugs and describes future directions actively being explored.
