NSCLC with HER2 mutations, found in 3% of advanced non-squamous cases, is associated with poor prognosis and higher incidence of brain metastases. Standard first-line chemotherapy has limited efficacy, and HER2-targeted agents lag in NSCLC treatment. Recent studies using HER2 TKIs, ADCs, and monoclonal antibodies show promising results, with Trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) achieving 55% ORR and 8.2 months mPFS in DESTINY-Lung01 trial. Zongertinib, a novel HER2-specific TKI, demonstrated 62% ORR and 97% DCR in HER2 mutation-positive NSCLC patients, with low toxicity rates, suggesting a potential better tolerated treatment option.
