Trastuzumab Deruxtecan in Previously Treated Patients With HER2-Positive Metastatic Breast Cancer: Updated Survival Results From a Phase 2 Trial (DESTINY-Breast01)
Mené sur 184 patientes atteintes d'un cancer HER2+ de stade métastatique (durée médiane de suivi : 26,5 mois), cet essai multicentrique de phase II évalue l'efficacité, du point de vue du taux de réponse objective, et la toxicité du trastuzumab déruxtécan après l'échec d'un traitement par trastuzumab emtansine
Background : Primary analysis of the multicenter, open-label, single-arm, phase 2 DESTINY-Breast01 trial (median follow-up, 11.1 months) demonstrated durable antitumor activity with trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) in patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)–positive metastatic breast cancer (mBC) previously treated with trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1). We report updated cumulative survival outcomes with median follow-up of 26.5 months (data cutoff, March 26, 2021). Patients and Methods: Patients with HER2-positive mBC resistant or refractory to T-DM1 received T-DXd 5.4 mg/kg intravenously every 3 weeks until disease progression, unacceptable adverse events, or withdrawal of consent. The primary end point was confirmed objective response rate by independent central review. Secondary end points included overall survival, duration of response, progression-free survival, and safety. Results: The objective response rate by independent central review was 62.0% (95% CI, 54.5–69.0) in patients who received T-DXd 5.4 mg/kg every 3 weeks (n = 184). Median overall survival was 29.1 months (95% CI, 24.6–36.1). Median progression-free survival and duration of response were 19.4 months (95% CI, 14.1–25.0) and 18.2 months (95% CI, 15.0 months–not evaluable), respectively. Drug-related treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were observed in 183 patients (99.5%), and 99 patients (53.8%) had 1 or more grade ≥ 3 TEAEs. Adjudicated drug-related interstitial lung disease/pneumonitis occurred in 15.8% of patients (n = 29), of which 2.7% (n = 5) were grade 5. Conclusions: These updated results provide further evidence of sustained antitumor activity of T-DXd with a consistent safety profile in heavily pretreated patients with HER2-positive mBC.
