Introduction: I-DXd (DS-7300) is a B7-H3-directed ADC with a topoisomerase 1 inhibitor payload (an exatecan derivative, DXd). I-DXd has demonstrated clinical efficacy in adults with heavily pretreated solid tumors (Patel et al., ESMO 2023). We previously reported that I-DXd induced objective responses in PDX models for multiple B7-H3 (CD276) expressing pediatric histologies, including rhabdomyosarcoma, osteosarcoma, neuroblastoma, and Wilms tumor. We extend these results with dose-response testing and include an isotype control ADC (IC-ADC) to evaluate whether B7-H3 expression is required for optimal response.

Methods: PDX models were dosed with vehicle, I-DXd, or IC-ADC, the latter two at 1, 3, and 10 mg/kg intravenously on days 1 and 15. Testing was performed using 5 animals per treatment group. Activity was assessed by the PIVOT objective response measure (ORM) (Ped Blood Cancer 2007;49:928-940) that defines objective response as partial, complete, or maintained complete response (PR, CR, and MCR) compared to stable disease (SD) or progressive disease, with or without growth delay (PD2 and PD1, respectively).

Results: I-DXd showed dose-dependent activity with MCR for all 5 models at 10 mg/kg. PR or MCR responses were observed in 4 of 5 models to I-DXd at 3 mg/kg, with no objective responses to I-DXd at 1 mg/kg. Only the RMS model showed objective response to IC-ADC. For all models I-DXd was significantly more active than IC-ADC.

Conclusions: We confirm significant anti-tumor activity for I-DXd for multiple pediatric solid tumors with B7-H3 expression and provide evidence of a dose response effect for I-DXd and for enhanced efficacy for I-DXd versus IC-ADC. Testing in additional preclinical models (neuroblastoma and glioblastoma) is underway. Due to the uniform high expression of B7-H3 in multiple pediatric histologies, I-DXd warrants evaluation for clinical activity in pediatric solid tumor patients.
