Proffered Paper session 1 (ID 12)

162O - Primary analysis from DS8201-A-U105: A 2-part, open label, phase 1b trial assessing trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) with nivolumab (nivo) in patients (pts) with HER2-expressing advanced breast cancer (ID 304)

Abstract

Background

In DESTINY-Breast01 (NCT03248492), T-DXd showed efficacy and safety in pts with HER2+ metastatic breast cancer (MBC) with prior T-DM1. Preclinical models showed that T-DXd combined with an anti–PD-1 antibody had greater efficacy vs either agent alone (Iwata Mol Cancer Ther 2018). This was a 2-part, open-label, multicenter, phase 1b study of T-DXd with nivo in pts with HER2-expressing MBC or advanced urothelial cancer (NCT03523572). Primary results from part 2 for MBC pts are reported.

Methods

Pts were immunotherapy naive with centrally confirmed HER2+ (IHC 3+ or IHC 2+/ISH+) MBC after T-DM1 or HER2 low (IHC 1+ or IHC 2+/ISH-) MBC after standard-of-care. Pts received the recommended dose for expansion T-DXd 5.4 mg/kg and nivo 360 mg IV Q3W. The primary endpoint was confirmed ORR (cORR) assessed by independent central review (ICR) per RECIST v1.1. Secondary endpoints included progression-free survival (PFS), duration of response (DOR), and safety.

Results

At the primary analysis data cutoff (July 22, 2021), 48 pts (HER2+, n = 32; HER2 low, n = 16) received T-DXd and nivo. Median follow-up duration was 18.7 mo for HER2+ pts and 12.7 mo for HER2-low pts. The cORR by ICR was 65.6% (95% CI, 46.8-81.4) and 50% (95% CI, 24.7-75.3); median PFS was 11.6 mo (95% CI, 6.9-NE) and 7.0 mo (95% CI, 2.3-10.8); and median DOR was NE (95% CI, 7.9-NE) and 5.5 mo (95% CI, 2.8-8.0) for HER2+ and HER2 low pts, respectively. Overall, median treatment duration was 7.9 mo for T-DXd and 5.8 mo for nivo. In parts 1 and 2 (T-DXd 5.4 mg/kg, nivo 360 mg; n = 48), TEAEs grade ≥3 occurred in 50.0% of pts; nausea (56.3%) was the most common any-grade TEAE; and 7 (14.6%) HER2+ pts had adjudicated drug-related interstitial lung disease (6 grade 2; 1 grade 5).

Conclusions

Results of T-DXd plus nivo show antitumor activity consistent with previously reported data for T-DXd monotherapy in HER2+ BC, with no discernable benefit with the addition of nivo in this late-line setting. Data from the small HER2-low cohort are insufficient to determine the effects of PD-1/PD-L1 combination therapy. The combination safety profile was similar to that of each study drug as monotherapy.

168P - Sacituzumab govitecan (SG) efficacy in patients with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC) by HER2 immunohistochemistry (IHC) status: Findings from the Phase 3 ASCENT study (ID 176)

Abstract

Background

HER2 IHC1+ or IHC2+ and in situ hybridization (ISH)-negative results are sometimes referred to as HER2-Low. SG is a novel antibody-drug conjugate composed of an anti–Trop-2 antibody coupled to SN-38 via a proprietary, hydrolyzable linker. SG is approved in mTNBC for the second line (2L) onwards. In the ASCENT study, SG had significant progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) benefit vs chemotherapy of physician’s choice (TPC). This ASCENT post hoc subgroup analysis evaluates SG efficacy in HER2 IHC0 and HER2-Low mTNBC.

Methods

Patients (pts) with mTNBC refractory/relapsing after ≥2 prior chemotherapies (≥1 in the metastatic setting) were randomized 1:1 to receive SG (10 mg/kg IV on d 1 and 8, every 21 d) or TPC (capecitabine, eribulin, vinorelbine, or gemcitabine) until unacceptable toxicity/progression. Primary endpoint was PFS per RECIST 1.1 by central review. Pts with known HER2-positive disease were ineligible, but HER2 status was not assessed centrally in ASCENT. Local HER2 IHC results were analyzed retrospectively.

Results

In the intent-to-treat (ITT) population (SG vs TPC), 149 vs 144, 63 vs 60, and 55 vs 58 pts had HER2 IHC0, HER2-Low, and missing HER2 IHC results, respectively; 79% of the ITT population was HER2-evaluable. Baseline characteristics between HER2 IHC0 vs HER2-Low were comparable and similar to the ITT population. Median PFS and OS were significantly improved, and objective response rate was numerically higher with SG vs TPC in the HER2 IHC0 and HER2-Low groups (Table). HER2-Low had numerically better outcomes vs HER2 ICH0 in both the SG and TPC arms.

Conclusions

Clinical benefit with SG in HER2 IHC0 and HER2-Low mTNBC was consistent with that of the ASCENT ITT population, regardless of HER2 status. SG should be considered an effective treatment option for pts with mTNBC eligible for 2L or later therapy.

250TiP - HER2-positive and HER2-low Breast Cancer Patients in the ACE-Pan tumor-01 study: Phase 1 Study evaluating ARX788 as Monotherapy in Advanced Solid Tumors with HER2-expression or mutation (ID 217)

Abstract

Background

HER2-targeted therapies have changed the treatment landscape for pts with HER2-positive (+) breast cancer (BC), but the clinical benefit of these first-generation HER2 targeted agents is just emerging for patients with HER2-low disease. HER2-low, defined as IHC 1-2+ without HER2 gene amplification, comprises between 40-65% of HER2-negative breast cancer. While HER2-positive BC comprises approximately 20% of newly diagnosed cases, a greater proportion of patients (∼50%) have BC categorized as HER2-low (IHC 1-2+ but ISH negative) and have a high unmet medical need. Even with the success of anti-HER2 treatments for HER2+ patients, many patients become resistant or are refractory to treatment. A new generation of anti-HER2 targeted agents has recently demonstrated both clinical activity and safety in HER2-low BC, including ARX788, an anti-HER2 antibody drug conjugate (ADC). ARX788 is a site-specific conjugated ADC that consists of a HER2 targeting monoclonal antibody (mAb) with payload AS269, a highly potent tubulin inhibitor. Site-specificity, high homogeneity, and stable covalent conjugation of ARX788 leads to its slow release and prolonged peak of serum pAF-AS269, which may contribute to the lower systemic toxicity and increased targeted delivery of payload to tumor cells at a lower effective dose compared to other HER2 ADCs.

Trial design

ACE-Pan tumor-01 (NCT03255070) is a global phase 1 study to assess efficacy and safety of ARX788 in patients with metastatic HER2+ BC, HER2-low BC, HER2+ GC (gastric cancer), or other advanced solid tumors with HER2 overexpression or activating mutations (including BC). Eligibily includes non-operable Stage III-IV disease, measurable lesions. HER2+ cohort must be resistant/refractory to T-DM1, and/or T-DXd, and/or tucatinib containing regimens, while HER2 low cohort must have no standard curative/palliative measures. Endpoints: ORR, DOR, TTR, BOR, DCR, PFS, and OS using RECIST1.1. Safety assessed by PE, AEs, VS, ECG, and lab tests PK, immunogenicity, biomarkers to be analyzed. Descriptive statistics will be used. As of Feb/2022, 28 patients with ongoing enrollment.
