About

A study to assess the efficacy and safety of Dato-DXd in the pre-chemotherapy setting for patients with metastatic HR-positive, HER2 IHC 0 breast cancer.

Full description

This is a Phase IIIb, single-arm, open-label, multicentre, multinational study assessing the efficacy and safety of Dato-DXd in participants with HR-positive, HER2 IHC 0, locally advanced inoperable or metastatic breast cancer refractory to endocrine therapy.

Refer to the study schema (Figure 1) and SoA (Section 1.3) for overall design and required assessments. Day 1 is defined as the first day of study treatment.

Approximately 100 participants will be treated in this study with Dato-DXd 6 mg/kg as an intravenous infusion every 3 weeks (21-day cycle), up to a maximum of 540 mg for patients ≥ 90kg. Participants will receive study intervention until RECIST 1.1 defined radiological progression by investigator unless there is evidence of unacceptable toxicity or if the participant requests to stop the study treatment.

Written consent is required from all participants for newly acquired tumour biopsy collection at baseline or for providing a tumour biopsy sample collected within 6 weeks prior to initiating Dato-DXd and, if feasible, at progression. This sample will be used to assess for HER2 and TROP2 expression and exploratory analysis of biomarkers of response. Participants are also expected to consent for repeated liquid biopsy at baseline, during the treatment period, and at progression to evaluate biomarkers of response and resistance. (Sample collection in China will comply with local regulatory requirements.) Tumour imaging will occur every 8 weeks (± 1 week) after the first dose of study drug for 48 weeks and then every 12 weeks (± 1 week) thereafter until RECIST 1.1 disease progression as assessed by the investigator or the start of subsequent anticancer therapy.

Enrollment: 100 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Exclusion criteria

1. As judged by the investigator, any evidence of diseases (such as severe or uncontrolled systemic diseases, including active bleeding diseases and significant cardiac or psychological conditions), history of allogenic organ transplant, and/or substance abuse which, in the investigator's opinion, makes it undesirable for the participant to participate in the study or that would jeopardise compliance with the protocol.

2. History of another primary malignancy except for malignancy treated with curative intent with no known active disease within 3 years before the first dose of study intervention and of low potential risk for recurrence. Exceptions include adequately resected non melanoma skin cancer (basal cell carcinoma of the skin or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin) and curatively treated in situ disease.

3. Persistent toxicities caused by previous anticancer therapy, excluding alopecia, not yet improved to Grade ≤ 1 or baseline. Note: participants may be enrolled with some chronic, stable Grade 2 toxicities (defined as no worsening to Grade > 2 for at least 3 months prior to the first dose of study intervention and managed with SoC treatment) which the investigator deems related to previous anticancer therapy):

   1. Chemotherapy-induced neuropathy
   2. Fatigue
   3. Residual toxicities from prior immunotherapy treatment: Grade 1 or Grade 2 endocrinopathies, which may include but are not limited to hypothyroidism/hyperthyroidism, Type I diabetes, hyperglycaemia, adrenal insufficiency, or adrenalitis; and skin hypopigmentation (vitiligo) Participants with irreversible toxicity that is not reasonably expected to be exacerbated by study intervention in the opinion of the investigator may be included (eg, hearing loss).

4. Spinal cord compression or brain metastases (unless asymptomatic, stable, and not requiring treatment with corticosteroids or anticonvulsants for at least 2 weeks prior to the first dose of study intervention). Participants with treated brain metastases that are no longer symptomatic and who require no treatment with corticosteroids or anticonvulsants must have recovered from the acute toxic effect of radiotherapy (eg, dizziness and signs of increased intracranial pressure). A minimum of 2 weeks must have elapsed between the end of brain radiotherapy and the first dose of study intervention. A minimum of 3 days must have elapsed between the end of corticosteroid therapy for CNS metastatic disease and the first dose of study intervention.

5. Leptomeningeal carcinomatosis or metastasis.

   4. Are HBsAg+ with chronic HBV infection (lasting 6 months or longer) and meet conditions i-iii below:

   (i) HBV DNA viral load < 2000 IU/mL (ii) Have normal transaminase values or, if liver metastases are present, abnormal transaminases, with a result of AST/ALT < 3 × ULN, which are not attributable to HBV infection (iii) Start or maintain antiviral treatment if clinically indicated as per the investigator

9. Known HIV infection that is not well controlled. All of the following criteria are required to define an HIV infection that is well controlled: undetectable viral RNA, CD4+ count ≥ 350, no history of AIDS defining opportunistic infection within the past 12 months, and stable for at least 4 weeks on the same anti HIV medications (meaning there are no expected further changes in that time to the number or type of antiretroviral drugs in the regimen). If an HIV infection meets the above criteria, monitoring of viral RNA load and CD4+ count is recommended. Participants must be tested for HIV during the screening period if acceptable by local regulations or an IRB/EC.

10. Uncontrolled infection requiring IV antibiotics, antivirals, or antifungals; suspected infections (eg, prodromal symptoms); or inability to rule out infections (participants with localised fungal infections of skin or nails are eligible).
