Trastuzumab deruxtecan in recurrent uterine serous carcinoma resistant to trastuzmab based-chemotherapy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Treatment of uterine serous carcinoma (USC) is challenging; effective treatment options for metastatic and recurrent disease are needed.

Case

A 68-year-old woman with recurrent, metastatic, USC overexpressing HER2/neu experienced durable response to the antibody drug conjugate (ADC) trastuzumab-deruxtecan (T-DXd), after failing multiple standard and experimental treatments targeting HER2/neu. She experienced a significant reduction in disease burden, disappearance of metastatic back bone pain as well as normalization of CA-125 quickly after starting treatment.
