KEYNOTE-811: Potential to revise first-line therapy for metastatic human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-positive gastric cancer.

ABSTRACT

The first-line therapy pattern transition of metastatic HER2-positive gastric cancer is shifting. The KEYNOTE-811 study demonstrated that the addition of immunotherapy to the standard treatment of HER2-targeted therapy and chemotherapy showed good results in terms of PFS, especially in subgroup patients with PD-L1 CPS≥1. In the future, the first-line therapy pattern of metastatic HER2-positive gastric cancer will be radically changed based on ongoing randomized controlled clinical trials.
