Datopotamab Dxd; Dato-dxd, Datroway, ADC for a few metastatic cancers
Does anyone have experience with a relatively new ADC called: datopotamab deruxtecan? Dato-dxd for short, brand name is Datroway. It is FDA approved for NSCLC.
Does it seem to help? Has is stopped cancer growth at least for a time? What side effects do you experience? How bad are the side effects? Any other info?
I have metastatic breast cancer and Dato-dxd is only recently FDA approved for use in some metastatic breast cancers. Dato-dxd has been approved for metastatic NSCLC longer. I am trying to decide if taking Dato-dxd will be worth the bad side effects it seems to have per clinical trials and med journal articles.
Thank you in advance for any info you can share!

Hi @olivia7850, I'm not an expert, but I believe Dato-dxd is fairly newly FDA approved for lung cancer also. It's approved for EGFR based lung cancers, so only a slice of the overall lung cancer population (10-15%). Hopefully continuing research will show effectiveness for additional types too.
If one of our lung cancer members have had experience with Datroway/Data-dxd I hope they respond too. 🙂
Wishing you the best of luck with your search for treatment. I have had an early-stage breast cancer (1B), but also have a metastatic lung cancer. So, I understand the continual search for effective treatments and the hope that treatment approvals stay ahead of our needs and recurrences.
