One area of recent progress in the treatment of non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the development of HER2 targeted therapies for the rare, emerging genetic variant, ERBB2 (HER2) mutations. In fact, the NCCN lists ERBB2 (HER2) mutations as an emerging biomarker to identify novel therapies for patients with metastatic NSCLC. The HER2-directed antibody-drug conjugates (ADC) ado-trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) and fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan-nxki are now listed as available targeted agents with activity against HER2 mutations. ADCs with other targets such as Trop-2 and HER3 are now also under investigation and showing promise in NSCLC. ADCs have the potential to increase treatment choices for patients with mNSCLC.

For practicing clinicians, this evolution of HER2-directed therapy and ADCs will add to the complexity of NSCLC treatment. This activity will review the emerging role and potential application of ADCs in mNSCLC, including HER2 as a target in NSCLC, biomarker testing, HER2-, HER3-, and TROP2-targeted ADCs, available clinical data on safety and efficacy, evidence-based guideline recommendations, and how newer targeted agents may fit into the treatment paradigm for patients with mNSCLC.
