Abstract
e13132 Background: ESG401, a novel ADC comprising a humanized anti-TROP2 IgG1 monoclonal antibody conjugated to the Topoisomerase I Inhibitor SN-38, with the Drug-Antibody Ratio at 8, by a stable cleavable linker, exhibited preliminary efficacy and tolerability in the Phase Ia trial (Ma, ASCO 2023). This report summarizes current results from the first-line mTNBC cohort of the Phase Ib trial. Methods: Patients (pts) aged ≥18 years with confirmed local advanced/unresectable or metastatic TNBC, without prior metastatic treatment, received ESG401 (16 mg/kg IV on Day 1,8, and 15, with a 28-day cycle) until unacceptable toxicity, progressive disease, or consent withdrawal. Results: As of the cutoff date (Jan 30th, 2024), 23 pts in the cohort received ≥1 dose of ESG401. Median age was 52 years (range: 33-73), 34.8% were ECOG 0, 26.1% were de novo stage IV, 73.9% had visceral disease (8.7% brain, 34.8% liver, 52.2% lung), 43.5% received radiotherapy, and 73.9% received chemotherapy (73.9% Taxanes, 69.6% Anthracycline, 4.3% Platinum)as prior treatments for early-stage disease. Among 14 Efficacy Evaluable (EE) pts, the ORR was 78.6%, including one (7.1%) patient who achieved a complete response. DCR was 100%, and CBR was 85.7%. Eight pts (57.1%) achieved confirmed Partial Response (PR). As of the cutoff date, 14 pts (63.6%) remained on treatment, with the longest on-treatment duration being 8.0 mons. Two (2) pts in this cohort had brain metastases. One pt achieved a complete intracranial response, and the overall response evaluation was PR. The evaluation time for the other pt has not yet been reached. Across the entire Phase Ia/1b trials, including 15 EE pts with brain metastases, the best overall intracranial response rate was 33%, with an intracranial disease control rate of 73%. The response of the intracranial tumor lesion is correlated with the response of the non-CNS lesion. The safety profile of ESG401 remained consistent with previous reports, showing no new or unexpected safety signals. The most common TRAEs were leukopenia (65.2%), neutropenia (69.6%), anemia (43.5%), fatigue (21.7%), nausea (43.5%), and vomiting (34.8%). The most common TRAEs≥ Grade 3 were neutropenia (43.5%). There was no ≥ Grade 3 diarrhea. No interstitial lung disease (ILD) has been reported so far for the entire PhIa/b trials containing 139 pts. Conclusions: ESG401 demonstrates promising antitumor activity in the first-line mTNBC pts, with efficacy comparable to the combination therapy reported by the BEGONIA Study. Additionally, the efficacy of ESG401 in brain metas in the first-line mTNBC pts is in alignment with our previous observations made in the late-line mTNBC and HR+/HER2- BC pts. These results warrant further clinical investigation of ESG401. Clinical trial information: NCT04892342 .
