Globally, there are approximately 2.3 million breast cancer patients, of which about 20% are diagnosed with HER2-positive disease. The Trastuzumab and Pertuzumab combination therapy has become the current standard of care for these patients. Recent studies also suggest that Pertuzumab combined with Trastuzumab deruxtecan (Enhertu®) may become the new first-line treatment for HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer, indicating strong potential for future market expansion of EG1206A. In addition to its first-generation product EG12014 already on the market, the launch of second-generation EG1206A will further enhance treatment options for patients with HER2-positive breast cancer. According to Roche's 2024 annual report, global sales of Perjeta® reached CHF 3.62 billion (~ USD 4 billion).
