]5.1 Interstitial Lung Disease/PneumonitisSevere, life-threatening, or fatal interstitial lung disease (ILD), including pneumonitis, can occur in patients treated with ENHERTU
[see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. A higher incidence of Grade 1 and 2 ILD/pneumonitis has been observed in patients with moderate renal impairment.Advise patients to immediately report cough, dyspnea, fever, and/or any new or worsening respiratory symptoms. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of ILD. Promptly investigate evidence of ILD. Evaluate patients with suspected ILD by radiographic imaging. Consider consultation with a pulmonologist. For asymptomatic (Grade 1) ILD, consider corticosteroid treatment (e.g., ≥0.5 mg/kg/day prednisolone or equivalent). Withhold ENHERTU until recovery
[see Dosage and Administration (2.3)]. In cases of symptomatic ILD (Grade 2 or greater), promptly initiate systemic corticosteroid treatment (e.g., ≥1 mg/kg/day prednisolone or equivalent) and continue for at least 14 days followed by gradual taper for at least 4 weeks. Permanently discontinue ENHERTU in patients who are diagnosed with symptomatic (Grade 2 or greater) ILD[see Dosage and Administration (2.3)].HER2-Positive, HER2-Low, and HER2-Ultralow Metastatic Breast Cancer, HER2-Mutant NSCLC, and Solid Tumors (Including IHC 3+) (5.4 mg/kg)In patients with metastatic breast cancer, HER2-mutant NSCLC, and other solid tumors treated with ENHERTU 5.4 mg/kg, ILD occurred in 12% of patients. Median time to first onset was 5.5 months (range: 0.9 to 31.5). Fatal outcomes due to ILD and/or pneumonitis occurred in 0.9% of patients treated with ENHERTU.HER2-Positive Locally Advanced or Metastatic Gastric Cancer (6.4 mg/kg)In patients with locally advanced or metastatic HER2-positive gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma treated with ENHERTU 6.4 mg/kg, ILD occurred in 10% of patients. Median time to first onset was 2.8 months (range: 1.2 to 21). - Embryo-Fetal Toxicity: Exposure to ENHERTU during pregnancy can cause embryo-fetal harm. Advise patients of these risks and the need for effective contraception[see.,
5.4 Embryo-Fetal ToxicityBased on its mechanism of action, ENHERTU can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. In postmarketing reports, use of a HER2-directed antibody during pregnancy resulted in cases of oligohydramnios manifesting as fatal pulmonary hypoplasia, skeletal abnormalities, and neonatal death. Based on its mechanism of action, the topoisomerase inhibitor component of ENHERTU, DXd, can also cause embryo-fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman because it is genotoxic and targets actively dividing cells
[see Use in Specific Populations (8.1), Clinical Pharmacology (12.1), Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1)]. Advise patients of the potential risks to a fetus.Verify the pregnancy status of females of reproductive potential prior to the initiation of ENHERTU. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment and for 7 months after the last dose of ENHERTU. Advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with ENHERTU and for 4 months after the last dose of ENHERTU
[see Use in Specific Populations (8.1, 8.3)].,8.1 PregnancyRisk SummaryBased on its mechanism of action, ENHERTU can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. There are no available data on the use of ENHERTU in pregnant women. In postmarketing reports, use of a HER2-directed antibody during pregnancy resulted in cases of oligohydramnios manifesting as fatal pulmonary hypoplasia, skeletal abnormalities, and neonatal death (
see Data). Based on its mechanism of action, the topoisomerase inhibitor component of ENHERTU, DXd, can also cause embryo-fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman because it is genotoxic and targets actively dividing cells[see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1), Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1)]. Advise patients of the potential risks to a fetus.There are clinical considerations if ENHERTU is used in pregnant women, or if a patient becomes pregnant within 7 months after the last dose of ENHERTU (
see Clinical Considerations).The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2 to 4% and 15 to 20%, respectively.
Clinical ConsiderationsFetal/Neonatal Adverse ReactionsMonitor women who received ENHERTU during pregnancy or within 7 months prior to conception for oligohydramnios. If oligohydramnios occurs, perform fetal testing that is appropriate for gestational age and consistent with community standards of care.
DataHuman DataThere are no available data on the use of ENHERTU in pregnant women. In postmarketing reports in pregnant women receiving a HER2-directed antibody, cases of oligohydramnios manifesting as fatal pulmonary hypoplasia, skeletal abnormalities, and neonatal death have been reported. These case reports described oligohydramnios in pregnant women who received a HER2-directed antibody either alone or in combination with chemotherapy. In some case reports, amniotic fluid index increased after use of a HER2-directed antibody was stopped.
Animal DataThere were no animal reproductive or developmental toxicity studies conducted with fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan-nxki.
]8.3 Females and Males of Reproductive PotentialPregnancy TestingVerify pregnancy status of females of reproductive potential prior to initiation of ENHERTU.
ContraceptionFemalesENHERTU can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman
[see Use in Specific Populations (8.1)]. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with ENHERTU and for 7 months after the last dose.MalesBecause of the potential for genotoxicity, advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with ENHERTU and for 4 months after the last dose
[see Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1)].InfertilityBased on findings in animal toxicity studies, ENHERTU may impair male reproductive function and fertility
[see Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1)].

14.3 HER2-Mutant Unresectable or Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung CancerENHERTU was evaluated in DESTINY-Lung01 (NCT03505710) and at two dose levels in DESTINY-Lung02 (NCT04644237). Patients were prospectively selected for treatment with ENHERTU based on the presence of activating HER2 (ERBB2) mutations by local testing using tissue. Samples from DESTINY-Lung01 were retrospectively tested using Oncomine™Dx Target Test (Life Technologies Corporation, Tissue-test) and Guardant360®CDx test (Guardant Health Inc., Plasma test). Demographic and baseline disease characteristics were similar for patients in DESTINY-Lung01 and DESTINY-Lung02, except for race (34% Asian vs 79% Asian, respectively). Response rates were consistent across dose levels. Increased rates of ILD/pneumonitis were observed at the higher dose. The approved recommended dose of 5.4 mg/kg intravenously every 3 weeks in the DESTINY-Lung02 study is described below
The efficacy of ENHERTU was evaluated in DESTINY-Lung02, a multicenter, multicohort, randomized, blinded, dose-optimization trial. Eligible patients were required to have unresectable or metastatic HER2-mutant non-squamous NSCLC with disease progression after one prior systemic therapy. Patients with a history of steroid dependent ILD/pneumonitis, clinically significant cardiac disease, clinically active brain metastases, and ECOG performance status >1 were excluded. Patients received ENHERTU 5.4 mg/kg by intravenous infusion every 3 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Tumor imaging was obtained every 6 weeks and CT/MRI of the brain was mandatory for patients with stable brain metastases at baseline.
Results from an interim efficacy analysis in a pre-specified patient cohort are described below. The major efficacy outcomes were confirmed ORR as assessed by BICR using RECIST v1.1 and DOR.
The median age was 58 years (range 30 to 78); 69% were female; 79% were Asian, 12% were White, and 10% were other races; 29% had an ECOG performance status of 0 and 71% had 1; 33% had stable brain metastases; 94% had a mutation in the ERBB2 kinase domain and 6% had a mutation in the extracellular domain. The median number of prior regimens was 2 (range: 1 to 12); 100% of patients received prior platinum therapy, 71% received prior immunotherapy, and 44% received both in combination. Fifty percent of patients were never-smokers and 50% were former smokers; 96% of patients had adenocarcinoma histology.
Efficacy results are provided in Table 24.

14.5 HER2-Positive (IHC 3+) Unresectable or Metastatic Solid TumorsThe efficacy of ENHERTU was evaluated in 192 adult patients with previously treated unresectable or metastatic HER2-positive (IHC 3+) solid tumors who were enrolled in one of three multicenter trials: DESTINY-PanTumor02, DESTINY-Lung01, and DESTINY-CRC02. All three studies excluded patients with a history of ILD/pneumonitis requiring treatment with steroids or ILD/pneumonitis at screening and clinically significant cardiac disease. Patients were also excluded for active brain metastases or ECOG performance status >1. Patients received ENHERTU 5.4 mg/kg by intravenous infusion every three weeks. Treatment was administered until disease progression, death, withdrawal of consent, or unacceptable toxicity. The major efficacy outcome measure in all three of the studies was confirmed objective response rate (ORR) and an additional efficacy outcome measure was duration of response (DOR). All outcomes were assessed by independent central review (ICR) based on RECIST v1.1.
DESTINY-PanTumor02 (NCT04482309) was a multicenter, multicohort, open-label trial that included 111 adult patients with locally advanced, unresectable, or metastatic HER2-positive (IHC 3+ by either local or central assessment) solid tumors that progressed following at least one prior systemic regimen in the advanced/metastatic setting or that had no satisfactory alternative treatment option.
The median age was 64 years (range 23 to 85); 59% were female; 58% were White, 34% were Asian, and 4% were Black or African American; 3% of patients were of Hispanic/Latino ethnicity. Patients had an ECOG performance status of either 0 (49%) or 1 (51%) at baseline. The median number of prior regimens in any treatment setting was 2.
DESTINY-Lung01 (NCT03505710) was a multicenter, open-label, 2-cohort trial that included 17 patients with previously treated, unresectable, or metastatic, centrally confirmed HER2-positive (IHC 3+) NSCLC. Patients must have relapsed from or be refractory to standard treatment or have no available standard treatment.
The median age was 59 years (range 31 to 74); 59% were male; 65% were White, 18% were Asian, and 12% were Black or African American. Patients had an ECOG performance status of either 0 (12%) or 1 (88%) at baseline. The median number of prior regimens in any treatment setting was 3.
DESTINY-CRC02 (NCT04744831) was a multicenter, randomized, 2-arm trial that included 64 patients with previously treated, unresectable or metastatic centrally confirmed HER2-positive (IHC 3+) colorectal cancer (CRC). Unless contraindicated, patients must have received fluoropyrimidine, oxaliplatin and irinotecan. If clinically indicated, patients must have received anti-EGFR treatment, anti-VEGF treatment and anti-PDL1 therapy.
The median age was 58 years (range 25 to 78); 53% were male; 55% were Asian and 41% were White; 1.6% of patients were of Hispanic/Latino ethnicity. Patients had an ECOG performance status of either 0 (58%) or 1 (42%) at baseline. The median number of prior regimens in any treatment setting was 4.

8.2 LactationRisk SummaryThere is no data regarding the presence of fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan-nxki in human milk, the effects on the breastfed child, or the effects on milk production. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in a breastfed child, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with ENHERTU and for 7 months after the last dose.
- Females and Males of Reproductive Potential: Verify pregnancy status of females prior to initiation of ENHERTU. ()
8.3 Females and Males of Reproductive PotentialPregnancy TestingVerify pregnancy status of females of reproductive potential prior to initiation of ENHERTU.
ContraceptionFemalesENHERTU can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman
[see Use in Specific Populations (8.1)]. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with ENHERTU and for 7 months after the last dose.MalesBecause of the potential for genotoxicity, advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with ENHERTU and for 4 months after the last dose
[see Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1)].InfertilityBased on findings in animal toxicity studies, ENHERTU may impair male reproductive function and fertility
[see Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1)].
