High risks adverse events associated with trastuzumab emtansine and trastuzumab deruxtecan for the treatment of HER2-positive/mutated malignancies: a pharmacovigilance study based on the FAERS database

Abstract

T-DXd is more likely to induce ILD/pneumonia and myelosuppression than T-DM1, whereas T-DM1 has higher risk of hepatotoxicity, cardiotoxicity, and thrombocytopenia than T-DXd. T-DM1-related hepatotoxicity may need redefinition. Clinicians may need to balance the benefits and risks of antibody-drug conjugates treatment for certain patients.
