NCT03523572

Brief Summary

This is a study of trastuzumab deruxtecan for the treatment of HER2-positive unresectable or metastatic breast cancer following two or more prior anti-HER2 based regimens. Participants will receive this study drug along with a cancer drug, an immune checkpoint inhibitor, anti-PD1, called nivolumab. The study will be done in two parts:

  • Part 1 is to identify the recommended dose to use for treatment.
  • Part 2 is to find out how well the combination works, and how safe and tolerable it is.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Number of Participants With Dose-Limiting Toxicities at 3.2 mg/kg and 5.4 mg/kg Dose Level in Participants With HER2-expressing Advanced Breast Cancer in Dose Escalation

    A Dose-Limiting Toxicity (DLT) is defined as any Treatment Emergent Adverse Event not attributable to disease or disease-related processes that occurs during the DLT evaluation period (2 complete cycles during Part 1) and is Grade 3 or above according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) version 5.0. Each cycle is 21 days. Low dose was set at 3.2 mg/kg and high dose was set at 5.4 mg/kg.

    Cycles 1 and 2 (each cycle is 21 days)

  • Percentage of Participants With Objective Response Rate (ORR) Based on Independent Central Review in Participants With HER2-expressing Advanced Breast Cancer or Urothelial Cancer

    The Objective Response Rate (ORR) was the defined as the percentage of participants who achieved a best overall response of confirmed Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR), assessed by independent central review (ICR) committee based on RECIST version 1.1. CR was defined as a disappearance of all target lesions and PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions. Confirmed ORR based on ICR is reported. As prespecified in the protocol, participants enrolled in Part 1 were pooled according to their trastuzumab deruxtecan dose and HER2 expressing levels (HER2 positive or HER2 low) for efficacy analyses. Participants who were dosed at 5.4 mg/kg of trastuzumab deruxtecan and have HER2-positive expression Breast Cancer (IHC score 3+ or IHC score 2+/ISH+) in Part 1 were pooled with the same participants from Part 2 (in this case, participants enrolled in Cohort 1).

    Every 6 weeks in the first year after Day 1 of Cycle 1 and thereafter every 12 weeks until disease progression or initiation of additional anticancer therapy and survival, up to 2 years 11.5 months (each cycle is 21 days)

Secondary Outcomes (7)

  • Duration of Response (DoR) in Participants With HER2-expressing Advanced Breast Cancer or Urothelial Cancer

    Every 6 weeks in the first year after Day 1 of Cycle 1 and thereafter every 12 weeks until disease progression or initiation of additional anticancer therapy and survival, up to 5 years (each cycle is 21 days)

  • Percentage of Participants With Disease Control Rate (DCR) in Participants With HER2-expressing Advanced Breast Cancer or Urothelial Cancer

    Every 6 weeks in the first year after Day 1 of Cycle 1 and thereafter every 12 weeks until disease progression or initiation of additional anticancer therapy and survival, up to 5 years (each cycle is 21 days)

  • Progression-Free Survival (PFS) in Participants With HER2-expressing Advanced Breast Cancer or Urothelial Cancer

    Every 6 weeks in the first year after Day 1 of Cycle 1 and thereafter every 12 weeks until disease progression or initiation of additional anticancer therapy and survival, up to 5 years (each cycle is 21 days)

  • Time to Response (TTR) Based on Independent Central Review in Participants With HER2-expressing Advanced Breast Cancer or Urothelial Cancer

    Every 6 weeks in the first year after Day 1 of Cycle 1 and thereafter every 12 weeks until disease progression or initiation of additional anticancer therapy and survival, up to 5 years (each cycle is 21 days)

  • Overall Survival (OS) in Participants With HER2-expressing Advanced Breast Cancer or Urothelial Cancer

    Date of first dose of study drug to the date of death due to any cause, up to 5 years

  • +2 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (6)

Dose Escalation (3.2 mg/kg)

EXPERIMENTAL

  • Has a condition (other than active autoimmune disease) that requires systemic treatment with either corticosteroids (\>10 mg daily prednisone equivalent) or other immunosuppressive medications within 14 days of starting study treatment
  • Is pregnant or breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant
