Datroway (datopotamab deruxtecan) is a prescription brand-name medication classified as a TROP2-directed antibody-drug conjugate (ADC). It is used to treat adults with HR-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic) or cannot be removed by surgery, and who have previously received endocrine therapy and at least one chemotherapy regimen. The medication works by binding to TROP2 proteins on cancer cells and delivering a cytotoxic agent directly to destroy them.

Datroway is indicated for the treatment of adults with hormone receptor (HR)-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer that has become metastatic or cannot be surgically removed, and who have received prior endocrine therapy and chemotherapy for metastatic disease.

Datroway is a type of targeted therapy called an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC). It consists of an antibody that specifically recognizes and binds to the TROP2 protein found on certain cancer cells. Once bound, the medication delivers a cytotoxic (cell-killing) agent directly into the cancer cell, leading to cell death.

Datroway is administered intravenously by a healthcare professional. Common side effects may include eye problems, nausea, fatigue, and liver issues. Patients should discuss all potential risks and benefits with their healthcare provider. Regular monitoring and eye exams may be required during treatment. This medication should only be used under the supervision of a qualified oncologist.
