Frequently asked questions about Patritumab Deruxtecan

What is Patritumab Deruxtecan?

Patritumab Deruxtecan is an investigational antibody-drug conjugate being developed by Merck & Company, Inc. (MRK) for oncology indications. It is being studied in advanced solid tumors, breast cancer, gastrointestinal cancer, hormone receptor positive disease, malignant neoplasms, and metastatic non-small cell lung cancer. It is not yet approved and remains in clinical development.

What does Patritumab Deruxtecan target?

Patritumab Deruxtecan targets ERBB3, also known as HER3. It is an antibody-drug conjugate that binds to the ERBB3 receptor and delivers a cytotoxic payload to cells expressing that target. ERBB3 is a member of the EGFR family of receptor tyrosine kinases, and the drug is classified as an inhibitor.

Who is developing Patritumab Deruxtecan?

Patritumab Deruxtecan is being developed by Merck & Company, Inc., which trades under the ticker MRK. Merck is running the clinical development program for the drug across multiple solid tumor and breast cancer settings.

What phase is Patritumab Deruxtecan in?

Patritumab Deruxtecan is in Phase 2 development overall, with individual trials spanning Phase 1 through Phase 3. It is investigational and has not been approved by the FDA. Three trials are currently active, with no completed trials reported and total planned enrollment of 1,553 participants.

What clinical trials is Patritumab Deruxtecan in?

Patritumab Deruxtecan is being studied in NCT07701941, a Phase 1 combination trial with trastuzumab deruxtecan in HR-positive, HER2-low or HER2-ultralow metastatic breast cancer; NCT07060807, a Phase 3 breast cancer study; NCT06941272, a Phase 1 pediatric solid tumor study; and NCT06797635, a Phase 2 breast cancer trial.

Is Patritumab Deruxtecan the same as HER3-DXd?

Yes. Patritumab Deruxtecan is also known as HER3-DXd and as Patritumab Deruxtecan (Fixed dose). These names refer to the same antibody-drug conjugate targeting ERBB3, so search results and trial listings using any of these names describe the same investigational agent.
