Unresectable or Metastatic, HR-Positive, HER2-Negative Breast Cancer
TROPION-Breast01
The safety of DATROWAY was evaluated in 360 patients with unresectable or metastatic HR-positive, HER2-negative (IHC 0, IHC1+ or IHC2+/ISH-) breast cancer who received at least one dose of DATROWAY 6 mg/kg in TROPION-Breast01 [see Clinical Studies (14.1)]. DATROWAY was administered by intravenous infusion once every three weeks. The median duration of treatment was 6.7 months (range: 0.7 months to 16.1 months) for patients who received DATROWAY.

Risk Summary
Based on its mechanism of action, DATROWAY can cause embryo-fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman because the topoisomerase inhibitor component of DATROWAY, DXd, is genotoxic and affects actively dividing cells [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1), Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1)]. There are no available data on the use of DATROWAY in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risk. Advise patients of the potential risks to a fetus.
In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2 to 4% and 15 to 20%, respectively.
Data
Animal Data
There were no animal reproductive or developmental toxicity studies conducted with datopotamab deruxtecan-dlnk.
Risk Summary
There are no data regarding the presence of datopotamab deruxtecan-dlnk or its metabolites 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 DATROWAY and for 1 month after the last dose.
Pregnancy Testing
Verify pregnancy status of females of reproductive potential prior to initiation of DATROWAY.
Contraception
Females
Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with DATROWAY and for 7 months after the last dose.
Males
Because of the potential for genotoxicity, advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with DATROWAY and for 4 months after the last dose [see Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1)].
Infertility
Based on findings in animal toxicity studies, DATROWAY may impair male and female reproductive function and fertility. The effects on reproductive organs in animals were irreversible [see Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1)].
Exposure-Response Relationships
A relationship between datopotamab deruxtecan-dlnk exposure and efficacy has not been fully characterized in breast cancer.
Higher datopotamab deruxtecan-dlnk systemic exposure is associated with a higher incidence rate of serious adverse reactions, dosage interruptions, dose reductions, stomatitis/oral mucositis, ocular adverse reactions, and Grade ≥3 adverse reactions.
Cardiac Electrophysiology
At datopotamab deruxtecan-dlnk doses up to 10 mg/kg (1.7 times the recommended dose), mean increase in the QTc interval >20 ms was not observed.
Distribution
Datopotamab deruxtecan-dlnk mean steady state volume of distribution is 3.5 (23%) L.
DXd plasma protein binding is approximately 98% and the blood-to-plasma concentration ratio is 0.6 in vitro.
Elimination
The datopotamab deruxtecan-dlnk median elimination half-life (t1/2) is 4.8 days (1.0, 8.2) and the released DXd median apparent t1/2 is approximately 5.5 days (3.2, 8.8). The estimated datopotamab deruxtecan-dlnk clearance is 0.6 (31.5%) L/day.
Metabolism
Datopotamab deruxtecan-dlnk undergoes intracellular cleavage by lysosomal enzymes to release DXd.
The humanized Trop-2 IgG1 monoclonal antibody is expected to be degraded into small peptides and amino acids via catabolic pathways in the same manner as endogenous IgG.
In vitro, DXd is primarily metabolized by CYP3A4.
Specific Populations
The mean volume of distribution and clearance of datopotamab deruxtecan-dlnk and DXd increase with increasing body weight (36 kg to 156 kg).
No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of datopotamab deruxtecan-dlnk or DXd were observed based on age (26 to 86 years), race (Asian, White, or Black), sex, mild hepatic impairment (total bilirubin ≤ULN and any AST >ULN or total bilirubin >1 to 1.5 times ULN and any AST), or mild to moderate renal impairment (CLcr 30 to <90 mL/min).
The pharmacokinetics of datopotamab deruxtecan-dlnk in patients with moderate hepatic impairment (total bilirubin >1.5 to 3 times ULN and any AST) was comparable to patients with normal hepatic function (total bilirubin and AST ≤ULN). The steady state average DXd AUC was 2.4-fold higher in patients with moderate hepatic impairment compared to patients with normal hepatic function. The effect of severe hepatic impairment (total bilirubin >3 times ULN and any AST) or severe renal impairment (CLcr <30 mL/min) on datopotamab deruxtecan-dlnk or DXd pharmacokinetics is unknown.
Drug Interaction Studies
Clinical Studies and Model-Informed Approaches
No clinically significant differences in DXd pharmacokinetics were predicted when used concomitantly with itraconazole (strong CYP3A inhibitor) or ritonavir (dual OATP1B and CYP3A inhibitor).
In Vitro Studies
CYP450 Enzymes: DXd does not inhibit CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, or CYP3A and does not induce CYP1A2, CYP2B6, or CYP3A.
UDP-Glucuronosyltransferase (UGT): DXd does not undergo significant metabolism by UGT enzymes.
Transporters Systems: DXd is a substrate of OATP1B1, OATP1B3, MATE2-K, P-gp, MRP1, and BCRP. DXd does not inhibit OAT1, OAT3, OCT1, OCT2, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, MATE1, MATE2-K, P-gp, BCRP, or BSEP transporters.
TROPION-Breast01
The efficacy of DATROWAY was evaluated in TROPION-Breast01 (NCT05104866), a multicenter, open-label, randomized trial of 732 patients with unresectable or metastatic HR-positive, HER2-negative (IHC 0, IHC1+ or IHC2+/ISH-) breast cancer. Eligible patients must have progressed on and deemed not suitable for further endocrine therapy. Patients were required to have received 1 or 2 lines of prior chemotherapy in the unresectable or metastatic disease setting. Patients were excluded for a history of ILD/pneumonitis requiring treatment with steroids, ongoing ILD/pneumonitis, clinically active brain metastases, or clinically significant corneal disease at screening. Patients were also excluded for ECOG performance status >1. Randomization was stratified by previous lines of chemotherapy (one or two), prior treatment with a CDK4/6 inhibitor (yes or no), and geographical region.
A total of 732 patients were randomized 1:1 to receive either DATROWAY 6 mg/kg (N=365) by intravenous infusion every 3 weeks or investigator's choice of chemotherapy (N=367) until unacceptable toxicity or disease progression. Single agent chemotherapy was determined by the investigator before randomization from one of the following choices: eribulin (60%), capecitabine (21%), vinorelbine (10%), or gemcitabine (9%).
The major efficacy outcomes were progression-free survival (PFS) as assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR) based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v.1.1 and overall survival (OS). Additional efficacy outcomes included confirmed objective response rate (ORR) and duration of response (DOR) by BICR.
The median age was 55 years (range 28-86); 22% were ≥65 years; 99% were female; 48% were White, 41% were Asian, 1.5% were Black or African American, and 11% were of Hispanic/Latino ethnicity; 57% had ECOG PS of 0 and 42% had ECOG PS of 1; 97% had visceral disease, 72% had liver metastases, and 8% had stable brain metastases.
Sixty percent (60%) of patients received prior endocrine therapy in the (neo)adjuvant setting, and 89% received prior endocrine therapy in the unresectable or metastatic setting. Eighty-three percent (83%) of patients had prior treatment with a CDK4/6 inhibitor. All patients received prior chemotherapy regimens in the unresectable or metastatic setting (81% received prior taxanes; 64% received prior anthracyclines). Sixty-two percent (62%) of patients had 1 prior chemotherapy regimen and 38% of patients had 2 prior chemotherapy regimens for treatment of unresectable or metastatic disease.
The study demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in PFS in patients randomized to DATROWAY compared to chemotherapy.
Efficacy results are shown in Table 7 and Figure 1.
