Taking a New Path: Evaluating Clinical Data With HER2-Targeted ADCs in Genitourinary, Gastrointestinal, and Gynecological Malignancies

In this episode, Catherine Fahey, MD, PhD; Alexandra Leary, MD, PhD; Funda Meric-Bernstam, MD; and Zev A. Wainberg, MD, explore the mechanisms of HER2-targeted antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs) and emerging clinical data with these agents across genitourinary, gastrointestinal, and gynecologic cancers.

• Mechanisms of action of ADCs: how ADCs selectively deliver potent chemotherapy to tumor cells
• Clinical data across tumor types: highlights from recent trials with trastuzumab deruxtecan and exploration of emerging data on agents such as disitamab vedotin
• Challenges and future directions:key considerations for combining HER2-targeted ADCs with immunotherapy or chemotherapy, and sequencing ADC therapies
