Abstract
TPS1102 Background: Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-targeted therapies have greatly improved survival in HER2+ breast cancer (BC). However, there are many more BC patients with HER2-low expression (immunohistochemistry [IHC] 1+ or 2+/ in situ hybridization-negative), for whom no HER2-targeted therapies are approved. [Fam-] trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd; formerly DS-8201a) is an antibody-drug conjugate with a humanized HER2 antibody, peptide-based cleavable linker, and a topoisomerase I inhibitor payload. It has a drug-to-antibody ratio of ~8 and the membrane permeability of the cleaved payload enables a cytotoxic bystander effect. In an ongoing phase 1 trial, T-DXd demonstrated an objective response rate (ORR) of 44.2% (19/43) with a manageable safety profile in heavily pretreated, advanced HER2-low BC (Oct 2018 data cutoff; Modi et al, SABCS 2018). Methods: DESTINY-Breast04 is a randomized, phase 3, 2-arm, open-label, multicenter study comparing efficacy and safety of T-DXd vs physician’s choice in HER2-low, unresectable and/or metastatic BC. Approximately 540 subjects will be randomized 2:1 to T-DXd (5.4 mg/kg intravenous every 3 weeks) or physician’s choice (capecitabine, eribulin, gemcitabine, paclitaxel, or nab-paclitaxel). Randomization is stratified by HER2 IHC status, number of prior treatments, and prior CDK4/6 inhibitor therapy/hormone receptor (HR) status. HER2 IHC will be assessed and confirmed by central testing based on archival samples. The primary efficacy endpoint is progression-free survival (PFS) per mRECIST v1.1 determined by blinded independent central review. Secondary efficacy endpoints are investigator-assessed PFS, overall survival, confirmed ORR, and duration of response. Safety endpoints include serious adverse events (AEs), treatment-emergent AEs, and AEs of special interest (interstitial lung disease/pneumonitis, cardiotoxicity, and infusion-related reactions). Primary PFS analysis will occur when 318 events are observed in HR+ subjects; providing 90% power to detect a hazard ratio of 0.68 with 1-sided α of 0.025. Enrollment began in Dec 2018. Clinical trial information: NCT03734029.
