📢FDA approval of zanidatamab + chemotherapy ± tislelizumab in the 1L setting represents an important advance and ushers in a new era for HER2-directed therapy in GEA.
Congratulations to the investigators, patients, and teams who made this possible! #GastricCancer #HER2 #GIOnc

Thrilled to share phase 3 HERIZON-GEA-01 in @NEJM before @ASCO. Biparatopic anti-HER2 Zanidatamab plus chemo±tislelizumab improved PFS in HER2+ gastric/GEJ cancer; the tislelizumab combo also improved OS. Grateful to all patients and collaborators.
