Abstract P6-17-06: Characterization, monitoring and management of interstitial lung disease in patients with metastatic breast cancer: Analysis of data available from multiple studies of DS-8201a, a HER2-targeted antibody drug conjugate with a topoisomerase I inhibitor payload

Abstract

Background: Several classes of anti-cancer agents including certain immunotherapies, systemic chemotherapies, and targeted therapies including trastuzumab and T-DM1 increase the risk of interstitial lung disease (ILD) and fatal cases have been reported. For DS-8201a, interim efficacy and safety analyses of available data established a final recommended dose of 5.4 mg/kg IV q3wk in advanced HER2-positive breast cancer (BC). Based on preliminary clinical results, ILD was identified as an important risk for DS-8201a. A robust monitoring and management plan was established across all studies and an international, independent ILD adjudication committee (AC) reviews the cases reported as ILD on an ongoing basis. Methods: All subjects (sbj) who received ≥1 dose of DS-8201a across 7 ongoing studies were included in this analysis. Reported ILD (standardized MedDRA Query terms) included the terms ILD, pneumonitis, and organizing pneumonia. ILD frequencies were calculated based on investigator's assessment and after adjudication. The analysis of potential risk factors associated with ILD is ongoing. Results: As of 21 June 2018, 448 sbj received ≥1 dose of DS-8201a across multiple tumor types, including BC. Of the 321 sbj with BC, 173 (53.9%) were from Japan, 103 (32.1%) from the US, and 45 (14.0%) from 6 other countries (Spain, South Korea, Taiwan, Belgium, France, and Italy). These sbj received 1 of 7 doses of DS-8201a (0.8 mg/kg: 3 sbjs, 1.6 mg/kg: 1 sbj, 3.2 mg/kg: 3 sbjs, 5.4 mg/kg: 111 sbjs, 6.4 mg/kg: 178 sbj, 7.4 mg/kg: 20 sbj, 8.0 mg/kg: 5 sbj). Overall, 44 cases of potential ILD were reported by the investigators across all tumor types (44/448, 9.8%; Grade ≥3 10/448, 2.2%). In sbj with BC who received 5.4 mg/kg, any grade and Grade ≥3 investigator-reported ILD were 7.2% (8/111) and 0.9% (1/111), respectively. The ILD AC assessed 30 of 44 cases; 22 were considered drug-related ILD, 4 were ILD but not drug-related, and 4 were found not to be ILD. For adjudicated drug-related ILD cases, the median time to onset was 159 (range; 46-591) days from the time of first dose.

Further analyses are ongoing to better understand the potential risk factors associated with the incidence of on-treatment ILD. When ILD is suspected, early diagnosis through appropriate imaging, laboratory tests, and pulmonary consultation as well as prompt management with steroids are recommended.

Targeting HER2 with Trastuzumab Deruxtecan: A Dose-Expansion, Phase I Study in Multiple Advanced Solid Tumors

“…Preclinical research directed by the TRISTAN consortium is under way to determine a general mechanism by which drug-induced ILD occurs (53). On the basis of a pooled analysis of ILD across multiple studies (multiple tumor types) of T-DXd, Japanese ethnicity and higher dose were associated with a higher risk factors for developing ILD (54). ILD is an important identified risk associated with T-DXd.…”

“…ILD was managed per-protocol with dose reductions or discontinuation, corticosteroids, and supportive care (see Supplementary Data A). Close monitoring for signs and symptoms of ILD is recommended for early detection, and, once diagnosed, interruption of T-DXd and prompt intervention with steroids when appropriate may help reduce severity of this complication (20,54). However, more research is needed to further characterize the risk.…”

“…This type of adverse event has also been reported for both trastuzumab emtansine 18 and trastuzumab deruxtecan-a HER2-targeting topoisomerase antibody-drug conjugate that is in development. 17,19 However, the underlying mechanism or risk factor is not yet clear.…”

Update Mammakarzinom 2019 Teil 2 – Implementierung neuer Diagnostika und Therapien bei Patientinnen mit fortgeschrittenem Brustkrebs in der klinischen Praxis

“…Allerdings kam es bei knapp über 240 behandelten Patientinnen zu einem mit einer Pneumonitis assoziierten Todesfall. Die Aufarbeitung der Fälle kommt zur Schlussfolgerung, dass eine Therapie bei Kontrolle dieser ernstzunehmenden Nebenwirkung mit einem intensiven Monitoring, der Beendigung der Medikation mit DS-8201a bei Auftreten und einer Behandlung mit Kortikosteroiden möglich ist [48]. Momentan wird diese Substanz nach T-DM1 in einer Phase-II-Studie bei Patientinnen mit HER2-Überexpression getestet (NCT03 523 585).…”
