First, three distinct immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), nivolumab, pembrolizumab and atezolizumab, became the standard secondor later-line treatments in both squamous and non-squamous NSCLC; later pembrolizumab replaced first-line chemotherapy in advanced NSCLC characterised by programmed death ligand 1 expression of at least 50%. Based on the significant efficacy and safety results using single-agent immunotherapy, ICIs in combination with other ICIs or chemotherapy, have been largely evaluated. In particular, since 2018, several studies combining ICIs and platinum-based chemotherapy as first-line treatment showed impressive results quickly resulting in a promising new standard of care for the near future.","PeriodicalId":38554,"journal":{"name":"European Oncology and Haematology","volume":"49 1","pages":"39"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88162837","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although the advancement of HER2-targeted therapy has been the most pronounced in breast cancer, interest has emerged in exploring the efficacy of HER2-targeted therapies in gastrointestinal (GI) cancers. In particular, the addition of trastuzumab to first-line chemotherapy has improved the overall survival of patients with HER2-positive gastric or oesophagogastric junction cancer. Although subsequent trials involving lapatinib, ado-trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1), and pertuzumab have failed to show significant survival benefits for HER2-positive gastric or oesophagogastric junction cancer, several trials are currently ongoing. HER2-targeted therapy has also been tested in patients with other GI cancers. Some combination therapies, such as trastuzumab plus pertuzumab, have shown promising results in single-arm phase II studies. Moreover, trials of novel anti-HER2 agents, including trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd), tucatinib and margetuximab – which demonstrated improvement of clinical outcomes in breast cancer – are ongoing for GI cancers. In this review, we provide an overview of the current status of HER2-targeted therapies and focus on future perspectives for overcoming issues in the treatment of HER2-positive GI cancer.","PeriodicalId":38554,"journal":{"name":"European Oncology and Haematology","volume":"257 1","pages":"29"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91325054","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
