Trastuzumab deruxtecan in previously treated HER2 ‐positive metastatic or unresectable breast cancer: Real‐life data from the temporary use authorization program in France

Le résumé fourni par la source

BACKGROUND: Early access program (formerly cohort Temporary Authorization for Use) was granted for trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) in France based on DESTINY-Breast01 trial which demonstrated its efficacy and safety in HER2-positive metastatic/unresectable breast cancer after ≥2 anti-HER2-based regimens received at metastatic stage. METHODS: This multicenter real-world early access program included HER2-positive metastatic/unresectable breast patients pretreated with at least two lines of anti-HER2 regimens who received T-DXd 5.4 mg/kg intravenously in monotherapy every 3 weeks. RESULTS: Four hundred and fifty-nine patients (median age, 58 years; hormone receptor-positive, 67%; brain metastases, 28.1%) received T-DXd. Before inclusion, 81.7% of patients had radiation therapy and 76.5% had undergone surgery. Median number of prior metastatic treatment lines was four (range, 2-22); 99.8% patients had received trastuzumab, 94.8% trastuzumab emtansine and 79.3% pertuzumab. Follow-up was performed from September 30, 2020 to March 30, 2021; when the early access program stopped, the median duration of T-DXd treatment was 3.4 (range, 0-7.8) months. In 160 patients with available tumor assessment, objective response rate was 56.7% and 12.1% had progression. In 57 patients with available brain tumor assessment, complete or partial intracranial response was reported for 35.7% patients and 5.4% had progression. A total of 17 (3.7%) patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) was reported with no cases of ILD-related death. CONCLUSIONS: In this early access program in patients with heavily pretreated HER2-positive metastatic/unresectable breast cancer, T-DXd had antitumor activity with a similar response to that reported in previous clinical studies. T-DXd was well tolerated and no new safety signals were observed.
