1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

For patients diagnosed with advanced HER2-altered non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the current standard of care is represented by a platinum-pemetrexed-based chemotherapy, eventually in combination with immunotherapy. Different pan-HER tyrosine kinase inhibitors have been evaluated in limited phase II trials, yielding generally unsatisfactory outcomes, although certain genotypes demonstrated some clinical benefit. Conversely, antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) targeting HER2, particularly trastuzumab-deruxtecan, have shown promising results against HER2-mutant disease, including a great intracranial activity in patients with brain metastasis. Based on the results obtained from DESTINY-Lung01 and DESTINY-Lung02 trials, trastuzumab deruxtecan received regulatory approval as the first targeted therapy for pre-treated, HER2-mutant, advanced NSCLC patients. More recently, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted the accelerated approval of trastuzumab deruxtecan for advanced, pre-treated HER2-positive solid tumours with no other treatment options. In this scenario, emerging evidence is increasingly pointing towards the exploration of combination regimens with synergistic effects in the advanced disease. In this review, we provide a detailed summary of current approaches and emerging strategies in the management of HER2-altered NSCLC, also focusing on unmet needs, including the treatment of patients with brain metastases.
