Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to test the safety and effectiveness of the sequence of two investigational drugs (trastuzumab deruxtecan followed by datopotamab deruxtecan, or datopotamab deruxtecan followed by trastuzumab deruxtecan) to learn whether the treatment works in treating HER2-negative (HER2-low or HER2-0) metastatic breast cancer. The names of the study drugs involved in this study are:

  • Datopotamab deruxtecan (a type of antibody drug conjugate)
  • Trastuzumab deruxtecan (a type of antibody drug conjugate)

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Participants must have histologically or cytologically confirmed invasive breast cancer with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic disease. Participants without pathologic or cytologic confirmation of metastatic disease should have unequivocal evidence of metastasis from physical examination or radiologic evaluation; i.e., visible chest wall disease or metastases on imaging meeting standard radiology criteria (i.e., lymph nodes larger than 1 cm in the short axis diameter).
  • The most recent pathology results will be considered for enrollment according to local testing of ER, PR and HER2 in a CLIA-certified environment. ER, PR and HER2 status per local testing must be known prior to study registration.
  • Participants must have history of HER2-low or HER2-0 breast cancer per local testing, and no known history of HER2-positive breast cancer. All available prior HER2 pathology results must be HER2-low or HER2-0; no known HER2 IHC 3+ or ISH-amplified breast cancer is allowed.
  • HER2-low status is defined as IHC 1+ or 2+/ISH non-amplified breast cancer in any prior tumor sample (e.g., primary or metastatic tumor) collected prior to study enrollment: IHC 2+/ISH-, IHC 1+/ISH-, or IHC 1+/ISH untested (note: ISH may be determined by either fluorescence in situ hybridization \[FISH\] or dual in situ hybridization \[DISH\])
  • HER2-0 status is defined as IHC 0 (null or ultra-low) in all prior tumor samples with available HER2 pathology results: IHC 0+/ISH- or IHC 0+/ISH untested (IHC 0+: IHC 0 absent membrane staining \[null\] or IHC 0 with membrane staining \>0 and \<1+ \[ultralow\]). Note: Enrollment of patients with HER2-0 breast cancer will be capped at 15% in each ADC1 and ADC2 cohort.
  • Participants with any HR status will be allowed on study.
  • HR-positive cohorts: ER and/or PR expression ≥1%
  • HR-negative cohorts: ER and PR expression \<1%
  • All cohorts: The most recent HER2 pathology result must be HER2-0 or HER2-low (i.e., must not be HER2-positive).
  • HER2-0: IHC 0+/ISH- or IHC 0+/ISH untested.
  • HER2-low: IHC 2+/ISH-, IHC 1+/ISH-, or IHC 1+/ISH untested (note: ISH may be determined by either fluorescence in situ hybridization \[FISH\] or dual in situ hybridization \[DISH\]).
  • Participants must have measurable disease per RECIST 1.1.
  • Participants must be willing to undergo research tissue biopsies (at baseline prior to ADC1, after 3 weeks of treatment with ADC1, at progression on ADC1 or baseline prior to ADC2, and at progression on ADC2), if tumor is safely accessible.
  • Prior endocrine therapy: Participants with HR-positive breast cancer considered to be candidates for endocrine therapy must have: a) progressed on or within 12 months of adjuvant endocrine therapy or received at least one line of endocrine therapy in the metastatic setting, and b) received prior CDK4/6 inhibitor. Prior endocrine therapy does not require washout.
  • Prior chemotherapy: Prior lines of chemotherapy allowed in the metastatic setting are specified below. Prior topoisomerase I inhibitor therapy is not allowed in any setting, except as specified below for ADC2 cohorts. Participants may have discontinued all chemotherapy at least 14 days prior to study treatment initiation. All toxicities related to prior chemotherapy must have resolved to CTCAE v5.0 grade 1 or lower, unless otherwise specified per protocol, except alopecia (any grade allowed) and neuropathy (grade 2 or lower allowed).
  • +29 more criteria

You may not qualify if:

  • Concurrent use of any other investigational or study agents that are being used to treat the underlying malignancy.
  • Any prior treatment (including ADC) containing a chemotherapeutic agent targeting topoisomerase I, except as specified per protocol for ADC2 cohorts.
  • Receipt of live, attenuated vaccine (mRNA and replication deficient adenoviral vaccines are not considered attenuated live vaccines) within 30 days prior to the first exposure to study intervention.
  • Clinically significant corneal disease.
  • History of severe hypersensitivity reactions to either trastuzumab deruxtecan or datopotamab deruxtecan or their inactive ingredients.
  • History of severe hypersensitivity reactions to other monoclonal antibodies.
  • Major surgery within 2 weeks prior to study treatment initiation.
  • Uncontrolled, significant intercurrent or recent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, uncontrolled non-malignant systemic disease, uncontrolled seizures, or psychiatric illness/social situation that would limit compliance with study requirements in the opinion of the treating investigator.
  • History of (non-infectious) pneumonitis/interstitial lung disease that required steroids or current pneumonitis/interstitial lung disease, or where suspected ILD/pneumonitis cannot be ruled out by imaging at screening. For ADC2 cohorts, if a participant experienced G1 pneumonitis/ILD with ADC1 (e.g., treated with steroids) with complete resolution of radiographic findings and ability to resume ADC1 within 12 weeks of the scheduled interruption without recurrence of ILD, the participant may enroll to ADC2.
  • Lung-specific intercurrent clinically significant illnesses including, but not limited to, any underlying pulmonary disorder (i.e., pulmonary emboli within 3 months of the study enrollment, severe asthma, severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), restrictive lung disease, pleural effusion etc.), and any autoimmune, connective tissue or inflammatory disorders with pulmonary involvement (i.e., rheumatoid arthritis, Sjogren's syndrome, sarcoidosis etc.), and prior complete pneumonectomy.
  • Corrected QT interval (QTcF) prolongation to \> 470 msec (females) or \>450 msec (males).
  • Any of the following procedures or conditions in 6 months prior to enrollment: coronary artery bypass graft, angioplasty, vascular stent, myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association Functional Classification Grade ≥2), and stroke.
  • Individuals with a history of a second malignancy are ineligible except for the following circumstances:
  • Individuals with a history of other malignancies are eligible if they have been disease-free for at least 3 years or are deemed by the investigator to be at low risk for recurrence of that malignancy.
  • Individuals with the following cancers that have been diagnosed and treated within the past 3 years are eligible: cervical/prostate carcinoma in situ, superficial bladder cancer, non-melanoma cancer of the skin.
