Test benefit — the open decision has moved past T-DXd

DESTINY-Breast06 moved T-DXd ahead of chemotherapy for HER2-low and HER2-ultralow disease once endocrine options are exhausted, which covers most HR+ patients. Some oncologists give capecitabine first and T-DXd second; either way, the open decision now sits after T-DXd. Every remaining option was trialled in T-DXd-naive patients, and real-world data show a second topoisomerase-I ADC delivering about 3 months of PFS, with chemotherapy not clearly better. No preferred sequence exists. cResponse™ ranks the remaining chemotherapies and ADCs on the patient’s own post-T-DXd tissue.

HER2-0 subset

For HER2-0 (IHC 0, not ultralow) disease, T-DXd is not indicated and the decision point remains the first chemotherapy after endocrine exhaustion. The same matrix applies.

Test benefit — no established standard, data-poor sequencing

DESTINY-Breast09 (FDA approval, December 2025) moved T-DXd with pertuzumab into first line. The post-T-DXd decision now arrives at TL2 for patients treated with first-line T-DXd, and at TL3 for those who started on taxane, trastuzumab and pertuzumab. Post-T-DXd, real-world median PFS on the next regimen is 4.6 months, and options that performed well earlier in the sequence, like the tucatinib triplet, show weaker activity once given after T-DXd. There is no established preferred sequence. cResponse™ ranks the remaining options on patient tissue rather than on pre-T-DXd-era trial data that may not transfer to this setting.

Test benefit — the open decision has moved past first-line ADC

NCCN now lists sacituzumab govitecan as category 1 preferred first-line therapy: with pembrolizumab for PD-L1 CPS ≥10, and alone for CPS <10. The FDA approved both regimens in June 2026, and Dato-DXd for patients not eligible for immunotherapy in May 2026. The open decision is therefore at progression after first-line ADC. Every option here was trialled in ADC-naive patients, and real-world data link prior sacituzumab with weaker benefit from T-DXd. With little time for a second attempt, cResponse™ ranks the options on post-ADC tissue to select the most potent responder upfront.

Funding-constrained settings

Where first-line ADC is not reimbursed, CPS-negative patients receive chemotherapy first and an ADC second. For them the decision point is post-chemotherapy; the same matrix applies, with sacituzumab and Dato-DXd ranked head-to-head.

Methodology Note — US Annual Cohort Estimates
Modeled · Not claims-validated

Each estimate is an incidence funnel: US new cases (ACS Cancer Facts & Figures 2026) × share reaching metastatic disease (NCI distant-stage share at diagnosis plus recurrence) × biomarker prevalence × share reaching the decision point on the card. Ranges reflect low and high planning assumptions at each step and are rounded to the nearest 500. Figures are modeled, not claims-validated, and should be read as order of magnitude. M5 is a subset of M4 and is excluded from the total.

NCCN recommends adjuvant chemotherapy ± radiation for high-risk/pMMR endometrial cancer with substantial toxicity. cResponse™ on resected tissue helps personalize intensity — whether full chemo-radiation, chemo alone, radiation alone, or observation is appropriate.

NCCN recommends neoadjuvant chemo for borderline resectable PDAC. Suboptimal choice frequently results in failure to downstage — shifting patients to metastatic lines with dismal prognosis. Response rates are low and highly variable across tumor biologies.
