HER2 Metastatic Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Market
Key Highlights
- As per DelveInsight’s analysis, the total incident cases of HER2 non-small cell lung cancer in the 7MM were ~11,000 cases in the year 2022; these cases are estimated to increase by the year 2032.
- The total market size of HER2 mutated non-small cell lung cancer in the 7MM was ~USD 120 million in 2022.
- During the past couple of years, progress has been made toward defining HER2-driven disease and determining the benefit of different classes of agents targeting HER2.
- ENHERTU (trastuzumab deruxtecan) was approved in August 2022 in the US for patients after receipt of prior systemic therapy.
- Due to their rarity and the lack of late-stage clinical studies, the treatment paradigm for rare NSCLC mutations is less clear. Rare biomarkers like ROS-1, HER2, RET fusion, and NTRK1/2/3 Gene fusion have seen a lot of progress in past few years.

Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 Metastatic Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Disease Understanding and Treatment Algorithm
HER2 Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Overview
HER2 is a common oncogene identified in various cancer types, and dysregulation of HER2 signaling can be caused by mutation, amplification, and overexpression. All three types of HER2 dysregulation could appear in NSCLC with almost no overlap between mutation and amplification. They are considered distinct tumor subtypes with different biological behaviors and infrequent overlap.
HER2 Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Diagnosis
In general, there are two ways to detect HER2 mutations. The best way is through comprehensive next-generation sequencing (NGS) or Sanger Sequencing. This type of testing places tissue from a patient’s tumor (gathered from a biopsy) in a machine that looks for a large number of possible biomarkers at one time. There may be some situations where a patient cannot undergo the biopsy needed to perform NGS, and so liquid biopsy is recommended. A liquid biopsy can look for certain biomarkers in a patient’s blood. Sometimes, direct DNA sequencing and FISH techniques are performed.

HER2 Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Treatment
Treatment options and recommendations depend on several factors, including the type and stage of cancer, possible side effects, and the patient’s preferences and overall health. The most common treatments for HER2 non-small cell lung cancer are: Surgery, Radiotherapy, Chemotherapy, Chemotherapy with radiotherapy, Immunotherapy, HER2 targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), and ENHERTU.

Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 Metastatic Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Drug Chapters
The drug chapter segment of the HER2 Non-small Cell Lung Cancer report encloses a detailed analysis of the marketed and the late-stage (Phase III) pipeline drug. The marketed drugs segment encloses the drug ENHERTU (Daiichi Sankyo/AstraZeneca). Furthermore, the current key players for the upcoming emerging drugs and their respective drug candidates include Jiangsu HengRui Medicine (Pyrotinib), Forward Pharmaceuticals (FWD1509), Dizal Pharmaceutical (Sunvozertinib), and others. The drug chapter also helps understand the HER2 Non-small cell lung cancer clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations, approval and patent details, and the latest news and press releases.
Marketed Drugs
ENHERTU: Daiichi Sankyo/AstraZeneca
ENHERTU (trastuzumab deruxtecan) is a HER2-directed antibody and topoisomerase inhibitor conjugate indicated for the treatment of adult patients with unresectable or metastatic NSCLC whose tumors have activating HER2 (ERBB2) mutations, as detected by an FDA-approved test, and who have received prior systemic therapy. Fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan-nxki is a HER2-directed antibody–drug conjugate. The antibody is a humanized anti-HER2 IgG1. The small molecule DXd is a topoisomerase I inhibitor attached to the antibody by a cleavable linker. Following binding to HER2 on tumor cells, fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan-nxki undergoes internalization and intracellular linker cleavage by lysosomal enzymes. Upon release, the membrane-permeable DXd causes DNA damage and apoptotic cell death.
Emerging Drugs
Pyrotinib: Jiangsu HengRui Medicine
Pyrotinib is a novel tyrosine kinase inhibitor with multiple targets with a more pronounced clinical efficacy in inhibiting tumor growth. Pyrotinib can covalently bind to the ATP binding site of the intracellular kinase domain of HER1, HER2, and HER4, preventing the formation of HER family homologous/heterodimer, inhibiting autophosphorylation and blocking the activation of downstream signaling pathways.
Sunvozertinib: Dizal Pharmaceutical
Sunvozertinib (DZD9008) is an oral, potent, irreversible, and selective EGFR TKI targeting EGFR exon20-ins as well as EGFR sensitizing, T790M, and uncommon mutations with weak activity against wild-type EGFR. In addition, sunvozertinib exhibits desirable drug metabolism and pharmacokinetic (DMPK) properties as an oral drug in preclinical and clinical settings. In August 2023, Dizal Pharmaceuticals announced the first global approval registered for NSCLC (late-stage disease, metastatic disease, second-line therapy or greater) in China. Two global pivotal studies are ongoing in greater than or equal to second-line (WU-KONG1 Part B) and first-line setting (WU-KONG28), respectively, in NSCLC patients with EGFR Exon20-Ins mutations.
Drug Class Insights
HER2 tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs): Novel selective HER2 TKIs have been developed for pretreated HER2-mutant patients. Pyrotinib has shown moderate efficacy as well as a manageable safety profile, and it is now evaluated as in Phase III; by contrast, while poziotinib has demonstrated promising preliminary results but the company latter hold the development due to additional data are needed from a randomized controlled study for poziotinib to be approved for this indication by the FDA.
Note: Detailed insights will be provided in the final report.
Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 Metastatic Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Market Outlook
HER2 alterations represent important oncogenic drivers in NSCLC. During the past couple of years, progress has been made toward defining HER2-driven disease and determining the benefit of different classes of agents targeting HER2. Currently, platinum-based chemotherapy with/without immunotherapy is the preferred first-line treatment in patients with advanced or metastatic HER2-mutant NSCLC; ENHERTU (T-DXd) was approved in August 2022 in the US for the same subgroup of patients after receipt of prior systemic therapy. Previous studies have shown that both HER2-targeted monoclonal antibodies (trastuzumab and pertuzumab) and traditional pan-HER tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have yielded disappointing antitumor activity in NSCLC with HER2 alterations; therefore, platinum-based chemotherapy has remained the standard treatment for this subset of patients for more than a decade. Fortunately, novel selective HER2 TKIs (pyrotinib and sunvozertinib) have shown better antitumor effects than previous anti-HER2 agents. In addition, more recently, the antibody–drug conjugate (ADCs) trastuzumab deruxtecan has made significant progress, revolutionizing the therapeutic paradigms of pretreated HER2-mutant NSCLC. Recently, novel, more selective, and structurally advantageous pan-HER2 TKIs have been developed to improve outcomes in NSCLC with HER2 mutations. Although pyrotinib has shown greater activity against HER2-mutant NSCLC when compared to other TKIs, ADC-based therapies seem to offer the highest response rates and the best survival outcomes both in patients with HER2-mutant and HER2-positive refractory NSCLC patients. Furthermore, combination therapies are being investigated to enhance the efficacy of anti-HER2 agents. These new data reinforce the need to make HER2 testing a systematic reflex upon diagnosing advanced NSCLC.
Key players, such as AstraZeneca, Daiichi Sankyo, Forward Pharmaceuticals, Jiangsu HengRui Medicine, and others are evaluating their lead candidates in different stages of clinical development, respectively.
- In the 7MM, the total market size of HER2 NSCLC was ~USD 120 million in 2022, which is expected to increase by 2032.
- In 2022, US captured the market size of ~USD 90 million of HER2 NSCLC.
- Among EU4 and the UK, Germany captured the highest market size of HER2 NSCLC followed by the UK in 2022.
