18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose PET-CT evaluation after one course of neoadjuvant therapy fails to predict pCR in HER2 + BC patients: a prospective and multicentric French study. (PubMed, Breast Cancer Res)
18F-FDG PET-CT before and after the first cycle of neoadjuvant treatment does not appear to be an effective tool to predict pCR in patients with HER2+ BC.

Assessment of the efficacy of various neoadjuvant anti-HER2 targeted therapies combined with chemotherapy for HER2-positive breast cancer in the real-world setting and development of a predictive model for pathological complete response. (PubMed, Front Oncol)
The efficacy of NAT regimens containing trastuzumab plus pertuzumab (HP) and trastuzumab plus pyrotinib (HPy) was compared. Both HP and HPy combined with chemotherapy can be considered as optional NAT regimens for HER2-positive BC. The nomogram incorporating common clinical indicators provides a basis for clinicians to predict NAT efficacy at an earlier stage.

Development of a pH-responsive pegylated chitosan nanocarrier for targeted delivery of 17-AAG and synergistic therapy in HER2+ breast cancer. (PubMed, Sci Rep)
Furthermore, combination with trastuzumab showed synergistic effects, suggesting disruption of the HER2 signaling pathway. These findings highlight the potential of this nanoplatform as a strategy with therapeutic potential for improving the therapeutic efficacy of 17-AAG in HER2+ breast cancer.

Immune reprogramming of tumor microenvironments by cytotoxic antibody-drug conjugate payloads. (PubMed, Mol Cancer Ther)
We evaluated two ADCs with a shared antibody framework: trastuzumab linked to the microtubule inhibitor monomethyl auristatin E (T-MMAE) and the topoisomerase inhibitor deruxtecan (T-DXd). The secondary anti-tumor response mediated by memory CD8+ T cells were crucial for the formation of immunological memory induced by both ADCs. Therefore, our findings reveal that, after ADC-mediated tumor cytotoxicity, different ADC payloads elicit distinct immunological responses characterized by varying levels of myeloid cell activation within the TME.

Delayed Cardiac Dysfunction During Prolonged Use of Trastuzumab for the Treatment of HER2-Positive Metastatic Breast Cancer. (PubMed, Breast Cancer (Dove Med Press))
Elevation of serum BNP could not predict cardiotoxicity. Less frequent LVEF monitoring could be considered during long-term use of trastuzumab.

Development of cellular models expressing cynomolgus (Macaca fascicularis) HER2 for the functional evaluation of cross-reactive anti-human HER2 response. (PubMed, Front Pharmacol)
Our model, based on NIH 3T3 cells, became sensitive to the monoclonal antibody trastuzumab and to the selective HER2 tyrosine kinase inhibitor tucatinib. The results suggest that this model could be a promising tool for preclinical functional cross-reactivity tests of anti-HER2 therapies before in vivo studies.

Genomic Correlations for Clinical Outcomes in HER2-positive Advanced Gastric Cancer Treated Using Trastuzumab-based Therapy. (PubMed, Anticancer Res)
ERBB2 focal amplification is associated with improved outcomes in trastuzumab-treated patients with HER2-positive gastric cancer, whereas NOTCH3 alterations predict a poor prognosis. These genomic features may support risk stratification and therapeutic decisions.
