AstraZeneca advances scientific leadership across multiple cancers with first data from four pivotal Phase III trials at ESMO

Two highly anticipated Presidential Symposia for TROPION-Lung01 and TROPION-Breast01 will unveil the significance of datopotamab deruxtecan in lung and breast cancers

FLAURA2 data reinforce TAGRISSO® (osimertinib) as the backbone therapy in EGFR-mutated lung cancer and underscore its added benefit of treating brain metastases

DUO-E results for IMFINZI® (durvalumab) plus LYNPARZA® (olaparib) will show the benefit of immunotherapy and PARP inhibitor combinations in endometrial cancer for the first time

First IMFINZI data in gastric cancer from MATTERHORN Phase III trial will highlight the potential of immunotherapy combinations in earlier settings and growing leadership in gastrointestinal cancers

AstraZeneca advances its ambition to eliminate cancer as a cause of death with new data across its robust portfolio and pipeline at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress, October 20-24, 2023.

Nearly 100 abstracts will feature 19 approved and potential new medicines from AstraZeneca including two late-breaking Presidential Symposia and 26 oral presentations. Highlights include:

  • TROPION-Lung01 Phase III trial of AstraZeneca and Daiichi Sankyo’s datopotamab deruxtecan (Dato-DXd) in patients with previously treated advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (Presidential Symposium, Monday, October 23).
  • TROPION-Breast01 Phase III trial of datopotamab deruxtecan in patients with previously treated inoperable or metastatic hormone receptor (HR)-positive, HER2-low or negative breast cancer (Presidential Symposium, Monday, October 23).
  • FLAURA2 Phase III trial of TAGRISSO® (osimertinib) plus chemotherapy in EGFR-mutated (EGFRm) advanced NSCLC including safety and central nervous system metastases outcomes. Results were recently presented from the progression-free survival (PFS) primary analysis.
  • DUO-E Phase III trial of IMFINZI® (durvalumab) plus platinum-based chemotherapy followed by either IMFINZI monotherapy or IMFINZI plus LYNPARZA® (olaparib) as maintenance therapy in newly diagnosed advanced or recurrent edometrial cancer.
  • MATTERHORN Phase III trial of IMFINZI plus neoadjuvant chemotherapy (before surgery) for patients with resectable, early-stage and locally advanced (Stages II, III, IVA) gastric and gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) cancers.
  • DESTINY-PanTumor02 Phase II trial of AstraZeneca and Daiichi Sankyo’s ENHERTU® (fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan-nxki) in previously treated HER2-expressing advanced solid tumors including PFS and overall survival (OS) data from the primary analysis.
  • Three bispecifics: data from several presentations will highlight the Company’s robust clinical program of novel immuno-oncology (IO) bispecific antibodies including data for volrustomig in advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma (MEDI5752, targeting PD-1/CTLA-4), and data for rilvegostomig (AZD2936, targeting PD-1/TIGIT) and sabestomig (AZD7789, targeting PD-1/TIM3) in lung cancer.

Susan Galbraith, Executive Vice President, Oncology R&D, AstraZeneca, said: “At ESMO, we are building on the potential of our antibody drug conjugate portfolio with results from the TROPION-Lung01 and TROPION-Breast01 Phase III trials demonstrating the promise of datopotamab deruxtecan for patients across multiple cancer types in two back-to-back Presidential Symposia. These first pivotal data from our robust clinical program are just the beginning for this TROP2-directed antibody drug conjugate, which we believe could replace conventional chemotherapy for many patients.”

Dave Fredrickson, Executive Vice President, Oncology Business Unit, AstraZeneca, said: “Our key data at ESMO demonstrate our commitment to redefining cancer care across a growing number of tumor types with high unmet need. Across lung, breast, gynecologic and gastrointestinal cancers, the first data will be presented from four different pivotal trials which will raise the bar for patients with multiple medicines from our industry-leading portfolio and highlight the power of novel combinations.”

Datopotamab deruxtecan takes center stage with promising data in lung and breast cancers

A Presidential Symposium will highlight PFS data from the TROPION-Lung01 Phase III trial evaluating datopotamab deruxtecan in patients with previously treated advanced NSCLC. In July, datopotamab deruxtecan became the first antibody drug conjugate to demonstrate a statistically significant improvement in PFS and a trend in improvement for OS compared to docetaxel, the current standard-of-care chemotherapy. Additionally, a mini-oral presentation will feature initial results from the TROPION-Lung05 Phase II trial evaluating datopotamab deruxtecan in patients with heavily pretreated advanced NSCLC with actionable genomic mutations (AGA). There are currently no TROP2-directed antibody drug conjugates approved for the treatment of patients with lung cancer.

Another Presidential Symposium will showcase data from the TROPION-Breast01 Phase III trial of datopotamab deruxtecan in patients with inoperable or metastatic hormone receptor (HR)-positive, HER2-low or negative breast cancer previously treated with endocrine-based therapy and at least one systemic therapy. In September, datopotamab deruxtecan demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in PFS and a trend in improvement for OS compared to investigator’s choice of chemotherapy.

Lastly, a mini-oral presentation will highlight updated safety and efficacy results from the BEGONIA Phase Ib/II trial of datopotamab deruxtecan plus IMFINZI in patients with previously untreated unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), including duration of response. Early data from the trial presented previously demonstrated promising clinical responses in this setting, regardless of PD-L1 expression (low and high tumors).

IMFINZI combinations enter new tumor types and continue delivering in lung and biliary tract cancers

A late-breaking oral presentation will feature PFS data from the DUO-E Phase III trial evaluating treatment with IMFINZI and chemotherapy followed by either IMFINZI plus LYNPARZA or IMFINZI alone as maintenance therapy in patients with newly diagnosed advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer. High-level results recently announced showed both regimens demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in PFS compared to standard-of-care chemotherapy alone, with greater clinical benefit observed with the combination of IMFINZI and LYNPARZA as maintenance treatment.

Another late-breaking oral presentation will highlight pathologic complete response (pCR) data from the MATTERHORN Phase III trial of IMFINZI added to standard-of-care FLOT (fluorouracil, leucovorin, oxaliplatin, and docetaxel) neoadjuvant chemotherapy for patients with resectable, early-stage and locally advanced gastric and GEJ cancers versus neoadjuvant therapy alone. High-level interim results demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in the key secondary endpoint of pCR. This is the first global Phase III trial of an immunotherapy and FLOT chemotherapy combination to demonstrate clinical benefit in this setting. The trial is continuing to assess the primary endpoint of event-free survival.

Also in gastrointestinal cancers, two poster presentations of new data from the TOPAZ-1 Phase III trial will further reinforce the benefit of IMFINZI plus chemotherapy as a 1st-line standard-of-care treatment for advanced biliary tract cancer. Results will be shared from an exploratory analysis of an extended cohort of TOPAZ-1 patients enrolled in China. Additionally, results will be shared from an exploratory analysis assessing the impact of prognostic or predictive factors of OS in the trial.

A late-breaking mini-oral presentation in lung cancer will report exploratory analyses from the AEGEAN Phase III trial of IMFINZI-based treatment before and after surgery in patients with resectable NSCLC, evaluating potential associations between circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) and neoadjuvant treatment responses.

Extending the benefits of ENHERTU across HER2-expressing tumors

New data from the DESTINY-PanTumor02 and DESTINY-PanTumor01 Phase II trials will underscore the potential of ENHERTU for previously treated patients with HER2-expressing or HER2-mutated advanced solid tumors, respectively, who currently have no targeted treatment options.

A late-breaking mini-oral presentation of primary results from DESTINY-PanTumor02 will highlight efficacy and safety outcomes for ENHERTU in patients with HER2-expressing solid tumors. In July, high-level primary analysis results showed ENHERTU demonstrated clinically meaningful PFS and OS, as well as provided robust and durable tumor responses across multiple HER2-expressing solid tumors in the trial. Additionally, a poster presentation will share exploratory biomarker analyses of HER2 expression and gene amplification in tissue and baseline plasma ctDNA.

A further oral presentation will feature the first report of primary results from DESTINY-PanTumor01 in patients with solid tumors that have specific HER2-activating mutations.

A mini-oral presentation will feature post-hoc pooled efficacy and safety analyses of the DESTINY-Lung01 and DESTINY-Lung02 Phase II trials of ENHERTU in patients with HER2-mutated metastatic NSCLC with and without brain metastases.

Several presentations will feature new data from the DESTINY-Breast clinical program for ENHERTU, including its efficacy in patients with brain metastases.

Progressing next-wave treatments including best-in-class bispecifics

Several presentations will share data from AstraZeneca’s portfolio of novel IO bispecific antibodies, underscoring the Company’s investment in a robust clinical program for this next wave of IO therapy. These include:

  • A mini-oral presentation of data from a Phase Ib trial of volrustomig (MEDI5752), a PD-1/CTLA-4 bispecific antibody, in the 1st-line treatment of patients with advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma.
  • Another mini-oral presentation of safety and preliminary efficacy results from the Phase I/IIa first-in-human trial of sabestomig (AZD7789), a PD-1/TIM-3 bispecific antibody, in patients with Stages IIIb-IV NSCLC resistant to previous anti-PD(L)1 therapy.
  • A poster presentation of data from the ARTEMIDE-01 Phase I trial assessing rilvegostomig (AZD2936), a PD-1/TIGIT bispecific antibody, in patients with advanced or metastatic NSCLC.

Collaboration in the scientific community is critical to improving outcomes for patients. AstraZeneca is collaborating with Daiichi Sankyo Company Limited to develop and commercialize ENHERTU and datopotamab deruxtecan, and with Merck & Co., Inc., known as MSD outside the US and Canada, to develop and commercialize LYNPARZA both as a monotherapy and in combination with other potential medicines. Independently, the companies are developing LYNPARZA in combination with their respective PD-L1 and PD-1 medicines, IMFINZI and pembrolizumab, in a number of tumor types.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION FOR LYNPARZA® (olaparib)

CONTRAINDICATIONS

There are no contraindications for LYNPARZA.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

Myelodysplastic Syndrome/Acute Myeloid Leukemia (MDS/AML): Occurred in approximately 1.5% of patients exposed to LYNPARZA monotherapy, and the majority of events had a fatal outcome. The median duration of therapy in patients who developed MDS/AML was 2 years (range: <6 months to >10 years). All of these patients had previous chemotherapy with platinum agents and/or other DNA-damaging agents, including radiotherapy.

Do not start LYNPARZA until patients have recovered from hematological toxicity caused by previous chemotherapy (≤Grade 1). Monitor complete blood count for cytopenia at baseline and monthly thereafter for clinically significant changes during treatment. For prolonged hematological toxicities, interrupt LYNPARZA and monitor blood count weekly until recovery.

If the levels have not recovered to Grade 1 or less after 4 weeks, refer the patient to a hematologist for further investigations, including bone marrow analysis and blood sample for cytogenetics. Discontinue LYNPARZA if MDS/AML is confirmed.

Pneumonitis: Occurred in 0.8% of patients exposed to LYNPARZA monotherapy, and some cases were fatal. If patients present with new or worsening respiratory symptoms such as dyspnea, cough, and fever, or a radiological abnormality occurs, interrupt LYNPARZA treatment and initiate prompt investigation. Discontinue LYNPARZA if pneumonitis is confirmed and treat patient appropriately.

Venous Thromboembolism (VTE): Including severe or fatal pulmonary embolism (PE) occurred in patients treated with LYNPARZA. In the combined data of two randomized, placebo-controlled clinical studies (PROfound and PROpel) in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (N=1180), VTE occurred in 8% of patients who received LYNPARZA, including pulmonary embolism in 6%. In the control arms, VTE occurred in 2.5%, including pulmonary embolism in 1.5%. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, and treat as medically appropriate, which may include long-term anticoagulation as clinically indicated.

Embryo-Fetal Toxicity: Based on its mechanism of action and findings in animals, LYNPARZA can cause fetal harm. Verify pregnancy status in females of reproductive potential prior to initiating treatment.

Females

Advise females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus and to use effective contraception during treatment and for 6 months following the last dose.

Males

Advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential or who are pregnant to use effective contraception during treatment and for 3 months following the last dose of LYNPARZA and to not donate sperm during this time.

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/day prednisolone or equivalent). For symptomatic ILD/pneumonitis (Grade 2 or greater), permanently discontinue ENHERTU. Promptly initiate systemic corticosteroid treatment as soon as ILD/pneumonitis is suspected (e.g., ≥1 mg/kg/day prednisolone or equivalent) and continue for at least 14 days followed by gradual taper for at least 4 weeks.

Metastatic Breast Cancer and HER2-Mutant NSCLC (5.4 mg/kg)

In patients with metastatic breast cancer and HER2-mutant NSCLC treated with ENHERTU 5.4 mg/kg, ILD occurred in 12% of patients. Fatal outcomes due to ILD and/or pneumonitis occurred in 1.0% of patients treated with ENHERTU. Median time to first onset was 5 months (range: 0.9 to 23).

Locally Advanced or Metastatic Gastric Cancer (6.4 mg/kg)

In patients with locally advanced or metastatic HER2-positive gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma treated with ENHERTU 6.4 mg/kg, ILD occurred in 10% of patients. Median time to first onset was 2.8 months (range: 1.2 to 21).

Neutropenia

Severe neutropenia, including febrile neutropenia, can occur in patients treated with ENHERTU. Monitor complete blood counts prior to initiation of ENHERTU and prior to each dose, and as clinically indicated. 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, then reduce dose by one level. For febrile neutropenia (ANC <1.0 x 109/L and temperature >38.3º C or a sustained temperature of ≥38º C for more than 1 hour), interrupt ENHERTU until resolved, then reduce dose by one level.

Metastatic Breast Cancer and HER2-Mutant NSCLC (5.4 mg/kg)

Sixteen percent had Grade 3 or 4 decreased neutrophil count. Median time to first onset of decreased neutrophil count was 22 days (range: 2 to 664). Febrile neutropenia was reported in 1.1% of patients.

Locally Advanced or Metastatic Gastric Cancer (6.4 mg/kg)

In patients with locally advanced or metastatic HER2-positive gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma treated with ENHERTU 6.4 mg/kg, a decrease in neutrophil count was reported in 72% of patients. Fifty-one percent had Grade 3 or 4 decreased neutrophil count. Median time to first onset of decreased neutrophil count was 16 days (range: 4 to 187). Febrile neutropenia was reported in 4.8% of patients.

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. Assess LVEF prior to initiation of ENHERTU and at regular intervals during treatment as clinically indicated. Manage LVEF decrease through treatment interruption. 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. 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.

Metastatic Breast Cancer and HER2-Mutant NSCLC (5.4 mg/kg)

In patients with metastatic breast cancer and HER2-mutant NSCLC treated with ENHERTU 5.4 mg/kg, LVEF decrease was reported in 3.6% of patients, of which 0.4% were Grade 3.

Locally Advanced or Metastatic Gastric Cancer (6.4 mg/kg)

In patients with locally advanced or metastatic HER2-positive gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma treated with ENHERTU 6.4 mg/kg, no clinical adverse events of heart failure were reported; however, on echocardiography, 8% were found to have asymptomatic Grade 2 decrease in LVEF.

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 7 months after the last dose of ENHERTU. Advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with ENHERTU and for 4 months after the last dose of ENHERTU.

Additional Dose Modifications

Thrombocytopenia

For Grade 3 thrombocytopenia (platelets <50 to 25 x 109/L) interrupt ENHERTU until resolved to Grade 1 or less, then maintain dose. For Grade 4 thrombocytopenia (platelets <25 x 109/L) interrupt ENHERTU until resolved to Grade 1 or less, then reduce dose by one level.

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 after 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 7 months after the last dose. Males: Advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with ENHERTU and for 4 months after 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 883 patients with breast cancer treated with ENHERTU 5.4 mg/kg, 22% were ≥65 years and 3.6% were ≥75 years. No overall differences in efficacy within clinical studies 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 (60%) as compared to younger patients (48%). Of the 101 patients with unresectable or metastatic HER2-mutant NSCLC treated with ENHERTU 5.4 mg/kg, 40% were ≥65 years and 8% were ≥75 years. No overall differences in efficacy or safety were observed between patients ≥65 years of age compared to younger patients. Of the 125 patients with locally advanced or metastatic HER2-positive gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma treated with ENHERTU 6.4 mg/kg in DESTINY-Gastric01, 56% were ≥65 years and 14% were ≥75 years. No overall differences in efficacy or safety were observed between patients ≥65 years of age compared to younger patients.
  • Renal Impairment: A higher incidence of Grade 1 and 2 ILD/pneumonitis has been observed in patients with moderate renal impairment. Monitor patients with moderate renal impairment more frequently. The recommended dosage of ENHERTU has not been established for patients with severe renal impairment (CLcr <30 mL/min).
  • Hepatic Impairment: In patients with moderate hepatic impairment, due to potentially increased exposure, closely monitor for increased toxicities related to the topoisomerase inhibitor. The recommended dosage of ENHERTU has not been established for patients with severe hepatic impairment (total bilirubin >3 times ULN and any AST).
