Background: Datopotamab deruxtecan (Dato-DXd) is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) consisting of a humanized anti-TROP2 IgG1 monoclonal antibody covalently linked to a highly potent topoisomerase I (Topo I) inhibitor payload via a stable, tumor-selective, tetrapeptide-based cleavable linker. Dato-DXd demonstrated compelling single-agent antitumor activity in heavily pretreated patients (pts) with metastatic triple-negative BC (Krop, SABCS 2021). This is the first report of results from the TROPION-PanTumor01 study in pts with unresectable or metastatic hormone receptor–positive (HR+)/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2–negative (HER2−; including HER2-low and HER2-zero) BC.

Methods: TROPION-PanTumor01 (NCT03401385) is a phase 1, multicenter, open-label, 2-part dose-escalation/expansion study evaluating Dato-DXd in previously treated pts with solid tumors. Based on previous clinical findings and exposure-response results from pts with NSCLC, Dato-DXd 6 mg/kg IV Q3W is being evaluated in pts with unresectable or metastatic HR+/HER2− BC that progressed on standard therapies. The primary objectives were safety and tolerability. Tumor responses, including ORR (complete response [CR] + partial response [PR]) and DCR (CR + PR + stable disease [SD]), were assessed per RECIST version 1.1 by blinded independent central review.

Results: As of the April 29, 2022, data cutoff, 41 pts had received Dato-DXd (median follow-up, 10.9 mo [range, 7-13]); 9 pts were ongoing. The primary cause of treatment discontinuation was disease progression (63%; progressive disease [PD] or clinical progression). Median age was 57 y (range, 33-75); 54% had de novo metastatic disease. Pts were heavily pretreated (Table) with a median of 5 (range, 3-10) prior regimens in the advanced setting; 95% had prior CDK4/6i (adjuvant/metastatic). Median time from initial treatment for metastatic disease to the first dose of Dato-DXd was 42.7 mo (range, 10.2-131.1). Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs; all cause) were observed in 98% (any grade) and 41% (grade ≥3) of pts. Most common TEAEs (any grade, grade ≥3) were stomatitis (80%, 10%), nausea (56%, 0%), fatigue (46%, 2%), and alopecia (37%, 0%). Serious TEAEs were observed in 6 pts (15%); 1 pt died due to dyspnea, which was not considered to be treatment related. Dose reductions occurred in 5 pts due to stomatitis (n=3), fatigue (n=2), keratitis (n=1), and decreased appetite (n=1) (&gt;1 AE per pt); 14 pts had treatment delayed due to stomatitis (n=8), retinopathy (n=1), dysphagia (n=1), fatigue (n=1), malaise (n=1), COVID-19 (n=1), cellulitis (n=1), urinary tract infection (n=1), decreased lymphocyte count (n=1), and nasal congestion (n=1; &gt;1 AE per pt). Three pts discontinued treatment due to keratitis (n=1) and pneumonitis (n=2); 1 case of pneumonitis was adjudicated as grade 2 drug-related interstitial lung disease. The ORR was 29% (11 confirmed PRs; 1 pending confirmation), the DCR was 85% (35/41), and the clinical benefit rate (CR + PR + SD ≥6 mo) was 41% (17/41).

Conclusions: Dato-DXd demonstrated a manageable safety profile and encouraging antitumor activity, with high disease control in heavily pretreated pts, the majority having received prior CDK4/6i. Based on these findings, the TROPION-Breast01 (NCT05104866) randomized phase 3 study comparing 2L+ Dato-DXd vs investigator’s choice chemotherapy is currently enrolling pts with HR+/HER2− BC.
