FDA approves first companion diagnostic to identify patients with HER2 low metastatic breast cancer eligible for ENHERTU

“Roche is proud to lead the way in HER2 diagnostics through critical innovations that support the identification of patients who may benefit from novel HER2-targeted therapies,” said Thomas Schinecker, CEO of Roche Diagnostics. “Previously, metastatic breast cancer patients with a lower level of HER2 expression were considered to be part of the HER2-negative population and had no HER2-targeted treatment options. Now, they may be eligible for a HER2-targeted therapy, significantly increasing the number of patients who could have improved outcomes.”
