Brief Summary

This two-part study will include a dose escalation part to determine the recommended dose for expansion of DS8201a and pembrolizumab and a dose expansion part to evaluate efficacy, safety, and tolerability of the combination.

Detailed Description

This phase 1b, open-label, 2-part, multicenter, non-randomized, multiple-dose study will evaluate DS-8201a in combination with pembrolizumab in participants with advanced/metastatic breast cancer or non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

In the dose escalation part of the study, escalating doses of DS-8201a in combination with pembrolizumab will be assessed. DS-8201a and pembrolizumab 200 mg will be administered on Day 1 of every 21-day cycle. The initial dose administered for DS8201a will be 3.2 mg/kg Q3W. Escalation to the next dose (5.4 mg/kg Q3W) will be based on acceptable safety signals based on the earlier dose cohort.

Upon completion of dose escalation with the recommended dose of escalation (RDE) established, the dose expansion part of the study will begin. The dose expansion part will include 4 cohorts: Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2+) breast cancer participants with prior ado-trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1), HER2 low breast cancer participants with prior failed standard treatments, HER2-expressing NSCLC participants who have not received any prior treatment with anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, or HER2 agents, and HER2-mutant NSCLC participants who have not received any prior treatment with anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, or HER2 agents.

  • Currently participating in or has participated in a study of an investigational agent or has used an investigational device within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study treatment
  • Multiple primary malignancies within 3 years, except adequately resected non-melanoma skin cancer, curatively treated in situ disease, other solid tumors curatively treated, or contralateral breast cancer
  • History of severe hypersensitivity reactions to other monoclonal antibodies and/or any of the study drug components
  • Active infection requiring systemic therapy
  • Known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection
  • Active hepatitis B or C virus infection
  • History or current evidence of any condition, therapy, or laboratory abnormality that might confound the results of the study, interfere with the participant's participation for the full duration of the study, or is not in the best interest of the participant to participate, or any other reason the participant is found not appropriate to participate in the opinion of the treating Investigator
