Data from the following clinical trials are discussed:

PD4-02: Safety and efficacy of a tucatinib-trastuzumab-capecitabine regimen for treatment of leptomeningeal metastasis in 

+ breast cancer: Results from TBCRC049, a phase 2 nonrandomized study

PD4-04: Updated results of tucatinib vs placebo added to trastuzumab and capecitabine for patients with previously treated 

+ metastatic breast cancer with brain metastases (HER2CLIMB)

P1-18-26: Intracranial efficacy of tucatinib, palbociclib, and letrozole combination in patients with HR+/

P1-21-03: Efficacy of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in the treatment of patients with 

+ breast cancer with or without brain metastases: a systematic review and meta-analysis

OT1-13-01: HER2CLIMB-04: phase 2 trial of tucatinib + trastuzumab deruxtecan in patients with 

+ locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer with and without brain metastases

–positive metastatic breast cancer: subgroup analyses from the randomized phase 3 study DESTINYBreast03

GS3-02: Updated overall survival (OS) results from the phase 3 PHOEBE trial pyrotinib vs lapatinib in combination with capecitabine in patients with 

GS4-10: Neratinib + fulvestrant + trastuzumab for hormone receptor (HR)–positive, HER2-mutant metastatic breast cancer and neratinib + trastuzumab for triple-negative disease: latest updates from the SUMMIT trial

P2-13-10: First-in-human HER2-targeted bispecific antibody KN026 for the treatment of patients with 

+ metastatic breast cancer: results from a phase I study

P2-13-07: Zanidatamab (ZW25), a HER2-targeted bispecific antibody, in combination with chemotherapy for 

+ breast cancer: results from a phase 1 study

PD8-07: Evaluation of tucatinib + paclitaxel + pertuzumab + trastuzumab followed by AC (doxorubicin hydrochloride, cyclophosphamide) in high-risk HER2+ stage II/III breast cancer: results from the I-SPY2 trial

Expert panelists share their perspectives on metastatic breast cancer management datasets from the SABCS 2021 Virtual Meeting.
