     169  0 Kommentare AstraZeneca to Showcase Transformative Data Across Diverse Pipeline at World Conference on Lung Cancer

    AstraZeneca will present new data from across the innovative lung cancer portfolio at the IASLC 2020 World Conference on Lung Cancer (WCLC), hosted by the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer, 28 to 31 January 2021.

    Eleven AstraZeneca medicines and potential new medicines from the pipeline feature in 39 abstracts showcasing the Company’s leadership across different types and stages of lung cancer, including eight oral presentations with two late breakers.

    Presentations include:

    • Updated data from the TROPION-PanTumor01 Phase I trial of datopotamab deruxtecan (Dato-DXd; DS-1062) with additional patients, supporting its potential to redefine treatment outcomes in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) Datopotamab deruxtecan is a novel trophoblast cell-surface antigen 2 (TROP2)-directedantibody drug conjugate (ADC)
    • New data from the DESTINY-Lung01 Phase II trial highlighting the potential of ENHERTU (trastuzumab deruxtecan) in HER2-expressing metastatic NSCLC, and data in metastatic HER2-mutant (HER2m) NSCLC, two groups of patients for whom no HER2-directed medicine is currently approved
    • New analyses from the ADAURA Phase III trial featured in two oral presentations reinforcing the unprecedented benefit of TAGRISSO (osimertinib) regardless of prior adjuvant chemotherapy or disease stage in the adjuvant treatment of epidermal growth factor receptor-mutated (EGFRm) NSCLC, and showing patients treated with TAGRISSO maintained their quality of life

    José Baselga, Executive Vice President, Oncology R&D, said: “AstraZeneca is leading the next wave of precision-medicine innovations in lung cancer that aim to change clinical practice and ultimately alter the course of the disease. Our data at WCLC for datopotamab deruxtecan and ENHERTU (trastuzumab deruxtecan) illustrate the potentially transformative role next-generation antibody drug conjugates may play in advanced non-small cell lung cancer. New results for TAGRISSO and IMFINZI (durvalumab) continue to validate our strategy to treat patients earlier, as we progress the science of identifying patients most likely to respond to treatment.”

    Dave Fredrickson, Executive Vice President, Oncology Business Unit, said: “AstraZeneca is committed to advancing early detection and treatment of lung cancer - and the urgency to achieve this goal has only increased during the pandemic, which has significantly impacted cancer care for patients around the world. Our TAGRISSO and IMFINZI data at WCLC show how we are driving progress in early-stage lung cancer, while also pushing the scientific boundaries in resistant and advanced disease to identify new solutions for patients.”

    Harnessing the emerging potential of ADCs to treat different types of lung cancer

    Updated data from the TROPION-PanTumor01 Phase I trial of the novel ADC datopotamab deruxtecan will be featured in an oral presentation, demonstrating early antitumor activity in patients with advanced/metastatic NSCLC who had progressed on standard treatment. Additionally, two presentations on the data from the DESTINY-Lung01 Phase II trial will show results of ENHERTU patients with NSCLC, including new data from the HER2-expressing cohort and data from the HER2 mutant cohort.

    Collaboration in the scientific community is critical to improving outcomes for patients. AstraZeneca is collaborating with Daiichi Sankyo Company, Limited (Daiichi Sankyo) to develop and commercialize ENHERTU and datopotamab deruxtecan globally.

    Treating patients with NSCLC in early stages

    A late-breaking analysis from the ADAURA Phase III trial will underscore the practice-changing results for adjuvant TAGRISSO in Stage IB-IIIA EGFRm NSCLC and show the disease-free survival results for patients who had been treated with adjuvant chemotherapy prior to TAGRISSO and those who were not by stage of disease. A second exploratory analysis from the Phase III ADAURA trial will highlight the impact of treatment with adjuvant TAGRISSO on quality of life based on patient-reported outcomes. TAGRISSO was recently approved in the adjuvant setting in the US.

    The ongoing NeoADAURA Phase III trial testing the benefit of treating patients with resectable EGFRm NSCLC with neoadjuvant TAGRISSO will be highlighted in a poster presentation.

    The MERMAID-1 Phase III trial testing IMFINZI in patients with completely resected, Stage II and III NSCLC who show evidence of minimal residual disease (MRD), will also be highlighted in a poster. MERMAID-1 is an early-stage NSCLC Phase III trial evaluating circulating tumor DNA measurements to monitor for MRD and to identify patients at high risk of recurrence after surgery who may benefit from intervention with immunotherapy.

    Progressing research in advanced lung cancer

    AstraZeneca will also present data from several trials exploring targeted therapies and novel combinations for advanced lung cancer, including:

    • Additional data from the CASPIAN Phase III trial of IMFINZI in extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) showing exposure response and pharmacokinetics as well as exploratory analyses based on extent of disease
    • The biomarker-directed HUDSON Phase II platform trial of IMFINZI in combination with LYNPARZA (olaparib) and other novel anti-cancer medicines, including danvatirsen (STAT3 antisense oligonucleotide), ceralasertib (ATR inhibitor) and oleclumab (anti-CD73), in patients with NSCLC who progressed on anti-PD(L)1 therapy
    • The ODIN BM Phase I trial assessing TAGRISSO brain exposure in patients with EGFRm NSCLC central nervous system (CNS) metastases
    • The TATTON Phase Ib trial of TAGRISSO plus savolitinib in patients with EGFRm MET-overexpressed/amplified NSCLC
    • A trial-in-progress update on the Phase I trial of TAGRISSO in combination with patritumab deruxtecan (HER3-DXd; U3-1402) in patients with locally advanced or metastatic EGFRm NSCLC

    U.S. FDA-APPROVED INDICATION for ENHERTU (trastuzumab deruxtecan)

    ENHERTU is a HER2-directed antibody and topoisomerase inhibitor conjugate indicated for the treatment of adult patients with unresectable or metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer who have received two or more prior anti-HER2-based regimens in the metastatic setting.

    This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on tumor response rate and duration of response. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory trial.

    ENHERTU IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

    WARNING: INTERSTITIAL LUNG DISEASE and EMBRYO-FETAL TOXICITY

    • Interstitial lung disease (ILD) and pneumonitis, including fatal cases, have been reported with ENHERTU. Monitor for and promptly investigate signs and symptoms including cough, dyspnea, fever, and other new or worsening respiratory symptoms. Permanently discontinue ENHERTU in all patients with Grade 2 or higher ILD/pneumonitis. Advise patients of the risk and to immediately report symptoms.
    • Exposure to ENHERTU during pregnancy can cause embryo-fetal harm. Advise patients of these risks and the need for effective contraception.

    Contraindications

    None.

    WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

    Interstitial Lung Disease / Pneumonitis

    Severe, life-threatening, or fatal interstitial lung disease (ILD), including pneumonitis, can occur in patients treated with ENHERTU. In clinical studies, of the 234 patients with unresectable or metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer treated with ENHERTU, ILD occurred in 9% of patients. Fatal outcomes due to ILD and/or pneumonitis occurred in 2.6% of patients treated with ENHERTU. Median time to first onset was 4.1 months (range: 1.2 to 8.3).

    Advise patients to immediately report cough, dyspnea, fever, and/or any new or worsening respiratory symptoms. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of ILD. Promptly investigate evidence of ILD. Evaluate patients with suspected ILD by radiographic imaging. Consider consultation with a pulmonologist. For asymptomatic ILD/pneumonitis (Grade 1), interrupt ENHERTU until resolved to Grade 0, then if resolved in ≤28 days from date of onset, maintain dose. If resolved in >28 days from date of onset, reduce dose one level. Consider corticosteroid treatment as soon as ILD/pneumonitis is suspected (e.g., ≥0.5 mg/kg prednisolone or equivalent). For symptomatic ILD/pneumonitis (Grade 2 or greater), permanently discontinue ENHERTU. Promptly initiate corticosteroid treatment as soon as ILD/pneumonitis is suspected (e.g., ≥1 mg/kg prednisolone or equivalent). Upon improvement, follow by gradual taper (e.g., 4 weeks).

    Neutropenia

    Severe neutropenia, including febrile neutropenia, can occur in patients treated with ENHERTU. Of the 234 patients with unresectable or metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer who received ENHERTU, a decrease in neutrophil count was reported in 30% of patients and 16% had Grade 3 or 4 events. Median time to first onset was 1.4 months (range: 0.3 to 18.2). Febrile neutropenia was reported in 1.7% of patients.

    Monitor complete blood counts prior to initiation of ENHERTU and prior to each dose, and as clinically indicated. Based on the severity of neutropenia, ENHERTU may require dose interruption or reduction. For Grade 3 neutropenia (Absolute Neutrophil Count [ANC] <1.0 to 0.5 x 109/L) interrupt ENHERTU until resolved to Grade 2 or less, then maintain dose. For Grade 4 neutropenia (ANC <0.5 x 109/L) interrupt ENHERTU until resolved to Grade 2 or less. Reduce dose by one level. For febrile neutropenia (ANC <1.0 x 109/L and temperature >38.3ºC or a sustained temperature of ≥38ºC for more than 1 hour), interrupt ENHERTU until resolved. Reduce dose by one level.

    Left Ventricular Dysfunction

    Patients treated with ENHERTU may be at increased risk of developing left ventricular dysfunction. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) decrease has been observed with anti-HER2 therapies, including ENHERTU. In the 234 patients with unresectable or metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer who received ENHERTU, two cases (0.9%) of asymptomatic LVEF decrease were reported. Treatment with ENHERTU has not been studied in patients with a history of clinically significant cardiac disease or LVEF <50% prior to initiation of treatment.

    Assess LVEF prior to initiation of ENHERTU and at regular intervals during treatment as clinically indicated. Manage LVEF decrease through treatment interruption. Permanently discontinue ENHERTU if LVEF of <40% or absolute decrease from baseline of >20% is confirmed. When LVEF is >45% and absolute decrease from baseline is 10-20%, continue treatment with ENHERTU. When LVEF is 40-45% and absolute decrease from baseline is <10%, continue treatment with ENHERTU and repeat LVEF assessment within 3 weeks. When LVEF is 40-45% and absolute decrease from baseline is 10-20%, interrupt ENHERTU and repeat LVEF assessment within 3 weeks. If LVEF has not recovered to within 10% from baseline, permanently discontinue ENHERTU. If LVEF recovers to within 10% from baseline, resume treatment with ENHERTU at the same dose. When LVEF is <40% or absolute decrease from baseline is >20%, interrupt ENHERTU and repeat LVEF assessment within 3 weeks. If LVEF of <40% or absolute decrease from baseline of >20% is confirmed, permanently discontinue ENHERTU. Permanently discontinue ENHERTU in patients with symptomatic congestive heart failure.

    Embryo-Fetal Toxicity

    ENHERTU can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Advise patients of the potential risks to a fetus. Verify the pregnancy status of females of reproductive potential prior to the initiation of ENHERTU. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment and for at least 7 months following the last dose of ENHERTU. Advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with ENHERTU and for at least 4 months after the last dose of ENHERTU.

    Adverse Reactions

    The safety of ENHERTU was evaluated in a pooled analysis of 234 patients with unresectable or metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer who received at least one dose of ENHERTU 5.4 mg/kg in DESTINY-Breast01 and Study DS8201-A-J101. ENHERTU was administered by intravenous infusion once every three weeks. The median duration of treatment was 7 months (range: 0.7 to 31).

    Serious adverse reactions occurred in 20% of patients receiving ENHERTU. Serious adverse reactions in >1% of patients who received ENHERTU were interstitial lung disease, pneumonia, vomiting, nausea, cellulitis, hypokalemia, and intestinal obstruction. Fatalities due to adverse reactions occurred in 4.3% of patients including interstitial lung disease (2.6%), and the following events occurred in one patient each (0.4%): acute hepatic failure/acute kidney injury, general physical health deterioration, pneumonia, and hemorrhagic shock.

    ENHERTU was permanently discontinued in 9% of patients, of which ILD accounted for 6%. Dose interruptions due to adverse reactions occurred in 33% of patients treated with ENHERTU. The most frequent adverse reactions (>2%) associated with dose interruption were neutropenia, anemia, thrombocytopenia, leukopenia, upper respiratory tract infection, fatigue, nausea, and ILD. Dose reductions occurred in 18% of patients treated with ENHERTU. The most frequent adverse reactions (>2%) associated with dose reduction were fatigue, nausea, and neutropenia.

    The most common adverse reactions (frequency ≥20%) were nausea (79%), fatigue (59%), vomiting (47%), alopecia (46%), constipation (35%), decreased appetite (32%), anemia (31%), neutropenia (29%), diarrhea (29%), leukopenia (22%), cough (20%), and thrombocytopenia (20%).

    Use in Specific Populations

    • Pregnancy: ENHERTU can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Advise patients of the potential risks to a fetus. There are clinical considerations if ENHERTU is used in pregnant women, or if a patient becomes pregnant within 7 months following the last dose of ENHERTU.
    • Lactation: There are no data regarding the presence of ENHERTU in human milk, the effects on the breastfed child, or the effects on milk production. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in a breastfed child, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with ENHERTU and for 7 months after the last dose.
    • Females and Males of Reproductive Potential: Pregnancy testing: Verify pregnancy status of females of reproductive potential prior to initiation of ENHERTU. Contraception: Females: ENHERTU can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with ENHERTU and for at least 7 months following the last dose. Males: Advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with ENHERTU and for at least 4 months following the last dose. Infertility: ENHERTU may impair male reproductive function and fertility.
    • Pediatric Use: Safety and effectiveness of ENHERTU have not been established in pediatric patients.
    • Geriatric Use: Of the 234 patients with HER2-positive breast cancer treated with ENHERTU 5.4 mg/kg, 26% were ≥65 years and 5% were ≥75 years. No overall differences in efficacy were observed between patients ≥65 years of age compared to younger patients. There was a higher incidence of Grade 3-4 adverse reactions observed in patients aged ≥65 years (53%) as compared to younger patients (42%).
    • Hepatic Impairment: In patients with moderate hepatic impairment, due to potentially increased exposure, closely monitor for increased toxicities related to the topoisomerase inhibitor.
