Study of Trastuzumab Deruxtecan (T-DXd) vs Investigator's Choice Chemotherapy in HER2-low, Hormone Receptor Positive, Metastatic Breast Cancer
- Conditions
- Advanced or Metastatic Breast Cancer
- Interventions
- Registration Number
- NCT04494425
- Lead Sponsor
- AstraZeneca
- Brief Summary
This study will evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of trastuzumab deruxtecan compared with investigator's choice chemotherapy in human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER)2-low, hormone receptor (HR) positive breast cancer patients whose disease has progressed on endocrine therapy in the metastatic setting.
- Detailed Description
Eligible patients will be those patients who have had disease progression on at least 2 previous lines of endocrine therapies given for the treatment of metastatic disease or disease progression within 6 months of starting first line treatment for metastatic disease with an endocrine therapy combined with a CDK4/6 inhibitor. All patients must have historically confirmed HR positive (either estrogen receptor and/or progesterone receptor positive), HER2-low (defined as IHC2+/ISH- and IHC 1+) or HER2 IHC \>0 \<1+ expression, as determined by central laboratory testing results, advanced or metastatic breast cancer.
The study aims to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of trastuzumab deruxtecan compared with investigator's choice chemotherapy. This study aims to see if trastuzumab deruxtecan allows patients to live longer without the cancer getting worse, or simply to live longer, compared to patients receiving standard of care chemotherapy. This study is also looking to see how the treatment and the cancer affects patients' quality of life.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Progression-Free Survival (PFS) Assessed by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR) in the Hormone Receptor-Positive (HR+), Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2)-Low Population Response evaluations performed at screening, every 6 weeks (q6w) ± 1 week from randomization for 48 weeks, and then every 9 weeks (q9w) ± 1 week, starting at Week 48 until PD, up to PCD of 18 March 2024 (maximum of approximately 43.85 months) PFS per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) assessed by BICR was defined as the time from the date of randomization until the date of PD, as defined or death (by any cause in the absence of progression) regardless of whether the participant withdrew from randomized therapy or received another anticancer therapy prior to progression. PD was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions (TLs), taking as reference the smallest previous sum of diameters (nadir), this included the baseline sum if that was the smallest on study. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 millimeter (mm) from nadir. Median PFS was calculated using Kaplan-Meier method and its confidence interval (CI) using Brookmeyer-Crowley method.

Serum Concentration of Trastuzumab Deruxtecan (T-DXd), Total Anti-Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 Antibody and MAAA-1181a Pre-dose on Day 1 of Cycles 1, 2, 4, 6 and 8; 15 minutes post-dose on Day 1 of Cycles 1, 2 and 4; and 5 hours post-dose on Day 1 of Cycle 1 (each cycle is 21 days) Blood samples were collected at indicated time points to determine the concentration of T-DXd, total anti-HER2 antibody and MAAA-1181a in serum.
Change From Baseline in European Organization for the Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30) Scale Score at Week 91 Baseline (Day 1) and Week 91 EORTC QLQ-C30 is a 30-item self-administered questionnaire grouped into 5 multi-item functional scales(physical,role,emotional,cognitive and social),3 multiitem symptom scales(fatigue,pain and nausea/vomiting),2-item global QoL scale,5 single items assessing additional symptoms reported by cancer participants(dyspnea,loss of appetite,insomnia,constipation and diarrhea). All but 2 questions have 4-point scales:1:not at all,2:a little,3:quite a bit,4:very much.2 questions concerning global health status and QoL have 7-point scales with responses ranging from 1:very poor to 7:excellent;higher score:better level of functioning/greater degree of symptoms.For each of 15 scales,final scores were averaged from scores of component items,transformed,range: 0 to 100;higher scores:better functioning,better health related (HR)QoL,or greater level of symptoms(higher scores:opposite interpretations for functioning/QoL and symptoms/problems).Baseline:last observed measurement prior to randomization.
Change From Baseline in European Organization for the Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-Breast Module 45 (BR45) Scale Score at Week 58 Baseline (Day 1) and Week 58 EORTC QLQ-BR45 is an updated version of the BR23. Self-administered instrument includes original 23-items yielding 5 multi-item scores (body image, sexual functioning, arm symptoms, breast symptoms, and systemic therapy side effects). Additional 22 items yield 4 additional multi-item scales (breast satisfaction, endocrine therapy symptoms, skin mucosis symptoms, and endocrine sexual symptoms). Single items assess sexual enjoyment, future perspective and being upset by hair loss. Items are scored on a 4-point verbal rating scale: 1: not at all, 2: a little, 3: quite a bit, and 4: very much; higher score: better level of functioning or greater degree of symptoms. Scores of these scales were averaged from scores of component items, transformed, and ranged from 0 to 100; higher scores for functioning scales or items indicate better functioning, whereas higher scores for symptom scales or items represent a higher level of symptoms. Baseline:last observed measurement prior to randomization.

Number of Participants With Anti-Drug Antibodies (ADAs) Against Trastuzumab Deruxtecan From Day 1 up to PCD of 18 March 2024 (maximum of approximately 43.85 months) Blood samples were collected at indicated timepoints to determine ADA. Treatment-induced ADA was defined as ADA positive post-baseline and not detected at baseline (negative or missing). Treatment-boosted ADA was defined as a baseline positive ADA titer that was boosted to a 4-fold or higher-level following drug administration.
Time to First Subsequent Treatment or Death (TFST) in the Hormone Receptor-Positive, Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2-low and Intent-to-Treat Population From Day 1 up to 64 months TFST was defined as time from randomization to the start date of the first subsequent anti-cancer therapy after discontinuation of randomized treatment or death due to any cause.
Time to Second Subsequent Treatment or Death (TSST) in the Hormone Receptor-Positive, Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2-low and Intent-to-Treat Population From Day 1 up to 64 months TSST was defined as time from randomization to the start date of the second subsequent anti-cancer therapy after discontinuation of randomized treatment or death due to any cause.
