Abstract
Background: In China, non-approved therapies are used for pts with HER2 (ERBB2) mutant (HER2m) NSCLC. In DESTINY-Lung02 (DL-02), T-DXd 5.4 mg/kg showed clinical benefit with an acceptable and manageable safety profile in pts with pretreated HER2m metastatic NSCLC. DL-02 did not include any Chinese pts. We report the primary analysis of T-DXd in Chinese pts with pretreated HER2m metastatic NSCLC.
Methods: In this open-label, single-arm, Phase 2 trial (NCT05246514), Chinese pts with HER2m (locally or centrally confirmed activating HER2 exon 19 or 20 mutation) metastatic non-squamous NSCLC with disease progression on or after ≥1 prior anticancer therapy (no prior HER2-directed) received T-DXd 5.4 mg/kg IV once every 3 weeks. The primary endpoint was confirmed objective response rate (ORR) by independent central review (ICR). Secondary endpoints included investigator-assessed (INV) confirmed ORR; ICR and INV duration of response, disease control rate, progression-free survival, and safety.
Results: At data cutoff (September 23, 2023), 72 pts with HER2m NSCLC received T-DXd 5.4 mg/kg (full analysis set). Median T-DXd exposure was 7.9 (0.7-13.5) months. Pt characteristics and efficacy data are in the table. 71 pts had drug-related adverse events (AEs), of which 51.4% were grade (G) ≥3. Most common G≥3 AEs by grouped term: neutropenia (26.4%), thrombocytopenia (18.1%), and leukopenia (11.1%). Drug-related AEs leading to discontinuations occurred in 2 (2.8%) pts. 17 (23.6%) pts had serious AEs, with no INV-adjudicated G5. Centrally adjudicated drug-related ILD/pneumonitis occurred in 7 (9.7%) pts (n=6 G2; n=1 G5).
Conclusion: T-DXd 5.4 mg/kg demonstrated clinically meaningful and durable responses and a manageable safety profile in Chinese pts with HER2m metastatic NSCLC. Results were consistent with DL-02 and the known safety profile of T-DXd, supporting its use in this pt population.
