AstraZeneca Plc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZN#NASDAQ">AZN</a>) on Monday released topline data from the DESTINY-Breast09 Phase 3 trial of&nbsp;Enhertu&nbsp;(5.4mg/kg) either alone or in combination with pertuzumab versus standard of care THP (a taxane [docetaxel or paclitaxel], trastuzumab, and pertuzumab) as a first-line treatment in patients with HER2-positive <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care" rel="noreferrer noopener">metastatic breast cancer</a>.
High-level results from a planned interim analysis showed Enhertu pertuzumab combination demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in progression-free <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/b44891999/enhertu-plus-pertuzumab-demonstrated-highly-statistically-significant-and-clinically-meaningful-im" rel="noreferrer noopener">survival (PFS) compared to THP</a>.

The PFS improvement was seen across all pre-specified patient subgroups with&nbsp;Enhertu&nbsp;in&nbsp;combination with pertuzumab.
The key secondary endpoint of overall survival (OS) was not mature at this planned interim analysis; however, interim OS data showed an early trend favoring the&nbsp;Enhertu&nbsp;combination compared with&nbsp;THP.
The second arm assessing&nbsp;Enhertu&nbsp;monotherapy versus THP remains blinded to patients and investigators and will continue to the final PFS analysis.
HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer is an aggressive disease driven by overexpression or amplification of HER2, affecting 15-20% of patients with metastatic breast cancer.
While HER2-targeted therapies have improved outcomes, prognosis remains poor, with most patients experiencing disease progression within two years of 1st-line treatment with THP, which has been the standard of care for more than a decade.
Further, approximately one in three patients never go on to receive treatment following 1st-line therapy due to disease progression or death.
The safety profile of&nbsp;Enhertu&nbsp;in combination with pertuzumab was consistent with the known profiles of each therapy.
Enhertu&nbsp;is a specifically engineered HER2-directed DXd antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) discovered by Daiichi Sankyo (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DSNKY#OTC">DSNKY</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DSKYF#OTC">DSKYF</a>) and being jointly developed and commercialized by AstraZeneca and Daiichi Sankyo.
Data from the combination arm of DESTINY-Breast09 will be presented at an upcoming medical meeting and shared with regulatory authorities.
Enhertu is already approved in more than 75 countries as the 2nd-line treatment for patients with HER2-positive breast cancer based on the results from the&nbsp;DESTINY-Breast03&nbsp;trial.
In January, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Enhertu&nbsp;for adult patients with breast cancer that has progressed on one or more endocrine therapies <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/01/43273643/fda-approves-astrazeneca-daiichi-sankyos-enhertu-for-certain-type-of-breast-cancer-patients" rel="noreferrer noopener">in the metastatic setting</a>.
The FDA <a target="_blank" href="https://www.astrazeneca.com/media-centre/press-releases/2025/enhertu-approved-in-us-for-breast-cancer-post-et.html#!" rel="noreferrer noopener">granted</a> the approval after securing Priority Review and Breakthrough Therapy Designation. It was based on results from the DESTINY-Breast06 Phase 3 trial.
Price Action: AZN stock is up 1.05% at $68.30 during the premarket session at the last check Monday.

SS Notes Vacasa Engaged in a "Thorough" Strategic Review Process Over the Course of Eight Months
Vacasa Urges Shareholders to Vote "FOR" the Proposed Merger with Casago at the Special Meeting Scheduled for April 29, 2025
Vacasa, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VCSA#NASDAQ">VCSA</a>) ("Vacasa" or the "Company"), a leading vacation rental management platform in North America, today announced that both leading independent proxy advisory firms – Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. ("ISS") and Glass, Lewis &amp; Co. ("Glass Lewis") – recommend shareholders vote "FOR" the proposed merger with Casago. A Special Meeting of Vacasa's shareholders (the "Special Meeting") related to the proposed merger is scheduled for April 29, 2025.
In its report recommending support for the merger, ISS notes:1
<ul>
<li>"…[T]he board appears to have conducted a thorough review of strategic options, which lasted approximately eight months."</li>
<li>"The board and the special committee appear to have also conducted a reasonable process to determine whether [Davidson Kempner's] offers were, or could potentially result in, a ‘superior proposal.'"</li>
<li>"…[T]he special committee's requests for additional assurance of certainty and timing appear reasonable given [Davidson Kempner's] differing economic interests from those of common shareholders."</li>
<li>"…[T]he board's conclusion that Casago's offer has higher certainty of timing and completion appears reasonable."</li>
<li>"Given the thorough sales process and the challenging outlook on a standalone basis, the proposed merger with Casago appears to be the best combination of economics and certainty for shareholders."</li>
</ul>
CEO Rob Greyber said: "We are pleased that both ISS and Glass Lewis recognize the extensive, thorough process Vacasa engaged in, and that both support the Board's recommendation for our proposed merger with Casago. We strongly believe this transaction represents the best risk-adjusted outcome for our shareholders."

—Aerovate Board of Directors approves 1-for-35 reverse stock split—
WALTHAM, Mass., April 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Aerovate Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVTE#NASDAQ">AVTE</a>) ("Aerovate") today announced that its stockholders have approved the proposed merger (the "Merger") with Jade Biosciences, Inc. ("Jade"), along with all proposals related to the Merger. The proposals were voted upon at Aerovate's special meeting of stockholders held on April 16, 2025 (the "Special Meeting"), including a reverse stock split of Aerovate's common stock to be effected at the discretion of the Board of Directors (the "Board") within the parameters approved by Aerovate's stockholders.
On April 18, 2025, the Board approved a final reverse stock split of Aerovate's common stock at a ratio of 1-for-35 in connection with the anticipated closing of the Merger. Following the Merger, the combined company's common stock is expected to begin trading on a post-reverse stock split basis on The Nasdaq Capital Market ("Nasdaq") on April 29, 2025, under the new name "Jade Biosciences, Inc.", ticker symbol "JBIO", CUSIP number 008064206 and ISIN number US0080642061.
The reverse stock split is expected to reduce the number of Aerovate's outstanding common stock from approximately 30.0 million shares to approximately 0.8 million shares. The number of shares of Aerovate's authorized common stock will not be affected by the reverse stock split. At the Special Meeting, Aerovate's stockholders approved an increase in the number of shares of Aerovate's authorized common stock from 150,000,000 shares to 300,000,000 shares in connection with the anticipated closing of the Merger. No fractional shares will be issued if, as a result of the reverse stock split, a stockholder would otherwise become entitled to a fractional share because the number of shares of Aerovate common stock they hold before the reverse stock split is not evenly divisible by the split ratio. Instead, each stockholder will be entitled to receive a cash payment in lieu of such fractional share. The cash payment to be paid will be equal to the fraction of a share to which such stockholder would otherwise be entitled multiplied by the closing price per share as reported by The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC on April 28, 2025.
As a result of the reverse stock split, proportionate adjustments will be made to the exercise prices and number of shares of Aerovate's common stock underlying Aerovate's outstanding equity awards. There will be no change to the par value per share.
The previously announced special cash dividend (the "Cash Dividend") will not be affected by the reverse stock split. An aggregate Cash Dividend of $69.6 million, or an estimated $2.40 per share, will be payable in cash to Aerovate's stockholders of record as of April 25, 2025 based on their holdings as of that date prior to the reverse stock split. The estimated per share dividend is based on 28,985,019 shares of Aerovate's common stock outstanding as of April 18, 2025.
Following the closing of the Merger, Jade Biosciences' total issued and outstanding common stock is expected to be approximately 32.2 million shares, or approximately 60.6 million shares on a fully-diluted basis.&nbsp;
