Abstract PD7-01: Trastuzumab deruxtecan for the treatment of patients with HER2-positive breast cancer with brain and/or leptomeningeal metastases: A multicenter retrospective study (ROSET-BM study)

Abstract

Abstract Background: Brain metastases (BM) occur in 20%-50% of patients (pts) with HER2-positive (HER2+) metastatic breast cancer (MBC), and their presence is a poor prognostic factor. Leptomeningeal carcinomatosis (LMC) occurs in 12%–43% of pts with MBC. Therapeutic options for BC pts with BM and/or LMC are limited. Results of the DESTINY-Breast01 and DESTINY-Breast03 studies have shown the clinical benefit of trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) in HER2+ MBC pts with stable BM; however, the study populations were small and did not include pts with active BM (untreated or progressive) and/or LMC. This data gap is addressed in the present study. Methods: ROSET-BM (UMIN000044995) is a multicenter, retrospective chart review study of pts who received T-DXd for HER2+ MBC with BM and LMC between May 25, 2020, and April 30, 2021, in a standard-of-care setting. Overall response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) were evaluated. Additionally, in the pts with brain imaging data, intracranial (IC)-ORR and IC-PFS were evaluated by independent radiologists to provide central review according to RECIST v1.1. Active BM were determined by independent central review (ICR). Pts whose baseline and pre-baseline brain imaging data were compared and confirmed increased tumor size, or pts with new lesions were classified as active BM. LMC was determined by ICR using brain imaging. Results: In the study period, 62 sites participated, enrolling 113 pts with HER2+ MBC and BM were treated with T-DXd. After exclusion of data from 9 who did not meet the criteria for inclusion, 104 pts were included in the analysis. In the 104 pts, 70.2% (n=73) were active BM, 16.3% (n=17) were active BM with LMC, 5.8% (n=6) were stable BM, 1.9% (n=2) were only LMC, and 5.8% (n=6) were not classified. Symptomatic BM were observed in 30.8% (n=32). Median number of prior lines of therapy was 4 (range, 1–15). Median duration of follow up from first T-DXd treatment was 11.2 months. ORR assessed by investigator was 55.7% (complete response [CR], 5.2%) in all pts, 51.7% (CR, 6.9%) in symptomatic BM pts (n=29), and 57.4% (CR, 4.4%) in asymptomatic BM pts (n=68). Among all pts, median PFS was 16.1 months (95%CI, 12.0–n/a), and median OS was not reached (OS at 1 year was 74.9%). In the 19 pts with LMC, 1-year PFS and OS were 60.7% (95%CI, 34.5–79.1) and 87.1% (95%CI, 57.3–96.6), respectively (neither reached the median). Of the 89 pts with brain lesion imaging data (at both baseline and follow-up), IC-ORR was 62.7% (CR, 0.0%). IC-PD was observed in 5.9% (n=3) of pts. Median IC-PFS was 16.1 months (95%CI, 12.2–n/a). In all pts, the most common event and adverse event leading to discontinuation of T-DXd were PD (27 pts, 26.0%) and interstitial lung disease (19 pts,18.3%), respectively. Conclusion: The results of this retrospective chart review show that T-DXd has promising efficacy in HER2+ MBC pts with active BM and LMC. This study was funded by Daiichi Sankyo Co., Ltd.
