Zongertinib, sold under the brand name Hernexeos, is an anti-cancer medication used for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer. [1] [2] Zongertinib is a kinase inhibitor of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). [1] [3] [4] It is taken by mouth. [1]
Zongertinib was approved for medical use in the United States in August 2025. [5]
Zongertinib is indicated for the treatment of adults with unresectable or metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer whose tumors have HER2 (ERBB2) tyrosine kinase domain activating mutations, as detected by an FDA-approved test, and who have received prior systemic therapy. [1] [5]
The US Food and Drug Administration prescribing information includes warnings and precautions for hepatotoxicity, left ventricular dysfunction, interstitial lung disease/pneumonitis, and embryo-fetal toxicity. [1] [5]
Efficacy was evaluated in participants with unresectable or metastatic, non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer with HER2 (ERBB2) TKD mutations who had received prior systemic therapy and received zongertinib in Beamion LUNG-1 (NCT04886804), an open-label, multi-center, multi-cohort trial. [5] The major efficacy outcome measures were objective response rate (ORR) and duration of response (DOR) determined by blinded independent central review per RECIST v1.1. [5]
The US Food and Drug Administration granted the application for zongertinib priority review, breakthrough therapy, and fast track designations. [5]
Zongertinib was approved for medical use in the United States in August 2025. [2] [6]
