The positive results from the DESTINY-Gastric04 study indicate that Enhertu has the potential to significantly improve outcomes for patients with HER2-positive gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma. The drug has shown consistency with previous findings in terms of safety.

Global Registration
Enhertu is registered in over 65 countries for the treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma (GC / GEJC), and other solid tumors.-Fineline Info & Tech
