Translating CLEOPATRA into routine practice: National treatment patterns and survival for patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer. (PubMed, Breast)
Nationwide real-world data demonstrate favorable survival outcomes following adoption of dual anti-HER2 therapy. While these findings are broadly consistent with the CLEOPATRA trial, the observational design does not allow direct assessment of equivalence between studies.

Disparities in mortality among HER2-positive breast cancer patients treated with trastuzumab in Chile (2015-2024): real-world evidence from 4,920 cases. (PubMed, Future Oncol)
These findings suggest that disparities in outcomes persist despite financial coverage of high-cost therapies, indicating the influence of structural and geographic factors on cancer care. This study provides real-world evidence to inform policies aimed at reducing inequities in access and outcomes among patients with breast cancer in Chile.

Site-specific trastuzumab Fab-DM1 via butelase-1 with ABD fusion for potent HER2-positive tumor control. (PubMed, Med Oncol)
The ADC showed no significant body weight loss or organ damage in mice, indicating good tolerability. These findings validate a modular strategy combining a Fab scaffold, enzymatic site-specific conjugation, and ABD-mediated half-life extension to generate potent, homogeneous ADCs and nominate T-Fab-ABD(H + L)-DM1 as a promising candidate for HER2-positive cancer therapy.

Trastuzumab rezetecan versus pyrotinib plus capecitabine for patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer (HORIZON-Breast01): interim analysis of a multicentre, open-label, randomised, controlled, phase 3 trial. (PubMed, Lancet Oncol)
Trastuzumab rezetecan improved progression-free survival versus pyrotinib plus capecitabine and showed a distinct safety profile in patients with HER2-positive breast cancer, presenting as a potential new treatment option.

(Neo)adjuvant therapy patterns and outcomes in patients with HR+/HER2+ early breast cancer: a real-world study using the national cancer information database in China. (PubMed, Ther Adv Med Oncol)
Trastuzumab + pertuzumab (TP) was the most commonly used regimen in both neoadjuvant and adjuvant settings. The dual HER2 blockade regimens that were widely adopted in China for HR+/HER2+ early breast cancer have demonstrated effectiveness in improving pCR in routine clinical practice; a longer follow‑up is required to validate survival outcomes. None.

17-DMAG-Loaded HER2-Targeted Extracellular Vesicles Induce PARP/Caspase3-Mediated Apoptosis in Gastric Carcinoma. (PubMed, Int J Mol Sci)
Approximately 10-20% of gastric cancers overexpress HER2, conferring aggressive tumor characteristics and poor survival, yet resistance to trastuzumab-based targeted therapy and limited intratumoral antibody penetration continue to restrict clinical outcomes...Tumor analysis confirmed increased apoptosis and reduced proliferation in vivo. These findings demonstrate that p51-engineered exosomes provide an efficient, selective, and safe platform for HER2-targeted delivery of 17-DMAG, offering a promising precision medicine strategy for HER2-positive gastric cancer.
