AstraZeneca said Monday that the phase II trial for its cancer drug Enhertu showed clinically meaningful and durable responses across patients with HER2-expressing advanced solid tumours who had been previously treated.

The Anglo-Swedish pharma giant said interim results from its DESTINY-PanTumor02 Phase 2 trial showed an objective response rate of 37.1% in the trial's overall population and also demonstrated positive antitumor activity in patients previously treated for HER2-positive metastatic colorectal cancer.

Enhertu, or trastuzumab deruxtecan, is being jointly developed and commercialized by AstraZeneca and Daiichi Sankyo.
