Abstract

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.

Keywords: HER2-positive, metastatic breast cancer, trastuzumab deruxtecan, overall survival

Introduction

The phase 2 DESTINY-Breast01 trial assessed trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) 5.4 mg/kg in patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive metastatic breast cancer (mBC) with promising efficacy results. The confirmed objective response rate (ORR) was 60.9% (95% CI, 53.4–68.0) in the primary data cutoff (DCO; August 1, 2019) and 61.4% (95% CI, 54.0–68.5) in the initial update (DCO, June 8, 2020).1, 2 Primary results of DESTINY-Breast01 supported approval of T-DXd in third-line settings (December 2019) by the US Food and Drug Administration.3, 4 Based on results from DESTINY-Breast03, the indication for T-DXd was updated to include patients with HER2-positive mBC who received a prior anti–HER2-based regimen in the metastatic setting or developed disease recurrence during/within 6 months after therapy in the neoadjuvant/adjuvant setting.4

Median overall survival (OS) was not reached in the primary analysis of DESTINY-Breast01. We report updated cumulative survival outcomes (DCO, March 26, 2021).

Methods

Study Design and Patients

The study design was previously published.2 Women aged ≥18 years with pathologically documented HER2-positive mBC resistant or refractory to trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) with an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status score of 0 or 1 were included. HER2 positivity (centrally confirmed on archival tissue) was defined according to American Society of Clinical Oncology/College of American Pathologists guidelines. Patients with a history of noninfectious interstitial lung disease (ILD)/pneumonitis treated with glucocorticoids, current or suspected ILD/pneumonitis, or untreated/symptomatic brain metastases were excluded. The study was approved by the institutional review board at each participating site. All patients provided written informed consent.

Procedures

Patients received 5.4 mg/kg of T-DXd intravenously every 3 weeks until disease progression, unacceptable adverse events, or withdrawal of consent.

End Points

Primary end point was confirmed ORR by independent central review (ICR). Additional end points included duration of response (DoR), progression-free survival (PFS), OS, and time to response (TTR). Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were categorized using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities, version 23.0, and graded according to National Cancer Institute’s Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, version 4.03. ILD/pneumonitis was evaluated by an independent adjudication committee. Statistical analyses were previously described.2

Results

Patients

Between October 2017 and September 2018, 184 patients received at least 1 dose of T-DXd 5.4 mg/kg (Fig 1). At DCO, 28 patients remained on treatment. Main reasons for treatment discontinuation were disease progression (46.2%), adverse events (19.0%), and withdrawal of consent (6.0%). Median follow-up and treatment duration were 26.5 months (range, 0.7–39.1) and 10.1 months (range, 0.7–39.6), respectively. Table 1 lists patients’ baseline characteristics.

Patient disposition. Part 1 of the study consisted of 2 sequential stages: pharmacokinetics and dose finding. Based on these results, a dose of T-DXd 5.4 mg/kg was recommended for part 2 of the study. Part 2 consisted of an evaluation of the efficacy and safety of T-DXd in patients treated at the recommended dose who had tumor progression during or after the administration of T-DM1 (part 2a) and in those who had discontinued T-DM1 for reasons other than progressive disease (part 2b).

Relationship to study drug was determined by the treating investigator.

b

Each of the following TEAEs was associated with a fatal outcome: respiratory failure, acute respiratory failure, disease progression, general physical health deterioration, lymphangitis, pneumonia, pneumonitis, shock hemorrhagic; 1 patient had 2 TEAEs associated with death: acute kidney injury and acute hepatic failure.

Adjudicated drug-related ILD/pneumonitis was reported in 29 patients (15.8%) (Table S3), including 1 new case (grade 3) since the June 8, 2020 DCO, which was ongoing and managed according to ILD/pneumonitis management guidelines; the patient was withdrawn from treatment.5 The outcome of the patient with the grade 3 ILD event was reported as recovered/resolved. A total of 4 patients received T-DXd retreatment after recovering from grade 1 ILD; 3 of these patients did not experience recurrence of ILD and 1 patient had recurrence of grade 1 ILD, which was reported as recovered. 5 deaths (2.7%) were attributed to drug-related ILD/pneumonitis by an independent adjudication committee.

Discussion

In this update of DESTINY-Breast01, mOS was 4.5 months longer (29.1 months; March 26, 2021) than the previous DCO (24.6 months; June 8, 2020), demonstrating durable antitumor activity and prolonged survival with T-DXd in pretreated patients with HER2-positive mBC. ORR, DoR, and PFS were consistent with previous DCOs.1, 5 The results of this study support the use of T-DXd in heavily pretreated patients with HER2-positive mBC.

The use of T-DXd in patients resistant or refractory to T-DM1 is further supported by results from the phase 3 DESTINY-Breast02 trial, in which T-DXd demonstrated superiority to conventional chemotherapy-based treatment with a mOS of 39.2 months compared to 26.5 months with treatment of physician’s choice (hazard ratio, 0.66 [95% CI, 0.50–0.86]; P = 0.0021) at a median follow-up of 21.5 months.6 Both DESTINY-Breast01 and DESTINY-Breast02 trials further support the clinical benefit of T-DXd after use of a previous antibody-drug conjugate (T-DM1). The results of these trials add to the body of evidence for T-DXd in the treatment of HER2-positive mBC following its approval for use as second-line or later therapy based on DESTINY-Breast03.3, 4

Other trials in patients with 2 or more prior lines of therapy have reported mOS between 21.6 and 24.7 months in patients with heavily pretreated HER2-positive mBC, however, cross-trial comparisons should be interpreted carefully given study differences.710 In the TH3RESA trial, mOS was 22.7 months with T-DM1 in patients with HER2-positive advanced breast cancer (BC) previously treated with trastuzumab and lapatinib (advanced setting), a taxane (any setting), and 2 or more HER2-directed regimens (advanced setting).7 In the HER2CLIMB trial, mOS with tucatinib or placebo plus trastuzumab and capecitabine in patients with HER2-positive mBC previously treated with trastuzumab, pertuzumab, and T-DM1 (any setting) was 24.7 and 19.2 months, respectively.8 Similarly, mOS was 21.6 months with chemotherapy plus margetuximab in the SOPHIA trial, compared with 19.8 months with chemotherapy plus trastuzumab in patients with progressive disease following 2 or more prior lines of HER2-targeted therapy and 1 to 3 lines of nonhormonal mBC therapy.9 In the NALA trial, mean OS with capecitabine plus neratinib or lapatinib was 24.0 and 22.2 months, respectively, in patients who had previously received 2 or more HER2-directed regimens.10

A confirmed ORR was achieved in 62% of patients in DESTINY-Breast01. This is supported by results from DESTINY-Breast02, in which a confirmed ORR was reported in 70% of patients in the T-DXd group versus 29% of patients in the treatment of physician’s choice group.6 Trials of other therapies have reported rates ranging from 14%–41%.912 However, cross-trial comparisons must be interpreted cautiously given differences in patient populations; TH3RESA, SOPHIA, and NALA enrolled patients with a median of 2–4 prior lines of HER2-targeted therapies, whereas DESTINY-Breast01 enrolled patients with a median of 6 prior lines of HER2-targeted therapies. HER2CLIMB enrolled a higher proportion of patients with active and nonactive brain metastases compared to the other trials.9, 10, 12 In addition, the proportion of patients with previous exposure to T-DM1 and pertuzumab therapies varied across these trials (100% and 100% [HER2CLIMB], 91% and 100% [SOPHIA], and 19%–36% and 7%–36% [NALA]).9, 10, 12

Safety results were consistent with the established safety profile of T-DXd in BC, with no new safety signals.1, 2, 5, 13 Two additional grade ≥3 drug-related TEAEs and 4 drug-related TEAEs leading to dose reductions were reported since June 8, 2020, with no new reports of drug discontinuation, dose interruption, or death due to drug-related TEAEs. As previously detailed, patients were proactively monitored for signs and symptoms of ILD and underwent diagnostic tests to rule out other potential etiologies. Cases of suspected or detected ILD/pneumonitis were managed with established ILD management guidelines, including supportive care and immediate steroid treatment, with dose modification of T-DXd as recommended.14 Most cases were grade 1/2,2 and there was 1 additional case of ILD/pneumonitis adjudicated as drug-related (grade 3) reported since June 8, 2020 (this patient was withdrawn from T-DXd). Most TEAEs, including ILD/pneumonitis cases, were observed within the first 12 months of T-DXd treatment, which was consistent with previous reports in this population.2, 5, 15

In conclusion, this updated analysis of DESTINY-Breast01 provides evidence of sustained antitumor activity with T-DXd in heavily pretreated patients with HER2-positive mBC. Further confirmation of the results observed in DESTINY-Breast01 are supported by DESTINY-Breast02.6
