ABSTRACT
Trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) has demonstrated remarkable efficacy as a third- or later-line chemotherapy for human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive advanced gastric and gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinomas. However, it may cause pneumonitis, and its efficacy in rare histologies such as gastric adenocarcinoma with enteroblastic differentiation (GAED) remains unclear. A 74-year-old woman with unresectable HER2-positive GAED and lung metastasis received T-DXd as a fifth-line chemotherapy. Treatment was discontinued after 15 cycles owing to drug-induced pneumonitis; however, the patient achieved a sustained complete response for 14 months without subsequent chemotherapy or the exacerbation of pneumonitis. T-DXd was effective in HER2-positive GAED.
