EU regulatory committee (CHMP) recommended approval of T-DXd plus pertuzumab as first-line treatment for HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer, based on DESTINY-Breast09 trial data showing 44% reduction in disease progression or death versus current standard of care. FDA approved the same combination in December 2025.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
If you make companion diagnostics, biomarker assays, or patient monitoring tools for breast cancer, the first-line standard just shifted across both US and EU markets in the same year—your installed base needs to validate for a new drug, and hospitals will reconfigure treatment pathways. You have a six-month window to embed your test in the new protocol before reimbursement locks in.
