Datopotamab deruxtecan (Dato-DXd) vs Chemotherapy in Previously-treated Inoperable or Metastatic Hormone Receptor-positive, HER2-negative (HR+/HER2–) Breast Cancer: Primary Results from the Randomized Phase 3 TROPION-Breast01 Trial
Background
- HR+/HER2– breast cancer is the most common subtype of breast cancer
- Chemotherapy is utilized widely for management of endocrine-resistant HR+/HER2– MBC,
but is associated with low response rate, poor prognosis, and significant toxicity - TROP2-directed ADCs can have significant toxicities
- Dato-DXd is a unique TROP2-directed ADC demonstrating promising antitumor activity and a manageable safety profile
Study Design
- TROPION-Breast01 is a randomized, phase 3, global study comparing dato-DXd to chemotherapy in HR+/HER2– breast cancer
- Patients were previously treated with 1-2 lines of chemotherapy, experienced progression on ET, and showed ECOG PS 0 or 1
- Randomization was stratified by lines of chemotherapy, geographic location, and previous CDK4/6 inhibitor exposure
- Randomization occurred 1:1 to dato-DXd or investigator’s choice chemotherapy
- Dual primary endpoints included PFS by BICR per RECIST v1.1 and OS
- Key secondary endpoints included ORR, PFS, and safety
Results
- TROPION-Breast01 demonstrated that Dato-DXd provides both improved efficacy and safety compared with ICC for patients with HR+/HER2– disease
- TROPION-Breast01 met its dual primary PFS endpoint, demonstrating statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in PFS with Dato-DXd compared with ICC
- Overall, Dato-DXd demonstrated a favorable and manageable safety profile, with no new safety signals
- Results support Dato-DXd as a potential new therapeutic option for patients with metastatic HR+/HER2– breast cancer
