Early Stage HR+ #BreastCancer conf highlights from #SABCS25 w/ @laura_huppert: ✅ #ALTTO update ✅ #lidERA ✅...
Beautiful discussion by Lisa Carey, putting lidERA into context @OncoAlert #SABCS25
3 Early stage HR+ Breast Ca studies that we touched on with @laura_huppert for #SABCS25: ✅ #ALTTO (update) ✅ #lidERA ✅...
See additional data. OS way too early. Benefit regardless of control ET comparator. Safe with less AEs leading to discontinuation 5.3 vs 8.3%. Arthralgias similar in both arms but less dc in G arm...
Brilliant discussion by Lisa Carey on lidERA. Compare 2-3 year time point outcomes. #SABCS2025 @OncoAlert
Now the controversy. No CDK4/6i in lidERA. CDK4/6i have long term outcome data with OS for monarchE. How do we combine this data? Maybe a switch strategy after CDKi? Need that switching data!!!
#SABCS25 Recap #2 | #lidERA The lidERA trial showed adjuvant oral SERD #giredestrant was superior to SoC ET (AI or TAM) in...
#SABCS25 We learned from the lidERA study that oral SERDs may also be used in the early-stage setting. We saw that, as monotherapy, they are superior to endocrine therapy. However,...
#SABCS2025 Aditya Bardia presents lidERA results - the first new ET in HR+ ESBC in a very long time to change IDFS. impressive data in high risk ESBC, less so in medium risk but very...
Oooh boy lidERA data looks good! I’m excited!!! A more tolerable endocrine therapy and more effective!!! #SABCS2025
TROPION-Breast01 is a global, Phase III, randomized, open-label trial that evaluated datopotamab deruxtecan (Dato-DXd, brand name Datroway), a TROP2-directed antibody-drug conjugate, versus investigator's choice of chemotherapy in patients with previously treated HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer. The trial demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in PFS, leading to FDA approval in January 2025. TROPION-Breast01 established Datroway as the first TROP2-directed ADC approved in this setting.
Phase III, global, randomized (1:1), open-label, multicenter trial (NCT05104866). Patients received Dato-DXd 6 mg/kg IV every 3 weeks or investigator's choice of single-agent chemotherapy (eribulin 60%, capecitabine 21%, vinorelbine 10%, or gemcitabine 9%). Stratified by prior lines of chemotherapy, prior CDK4/6 inhibitor treatment, and geographic region.
Adults with unresectable or metastatic HR+/HER2- (IHC 0, IHC 1+, or IHC 2+/ISH-) breast cancer who had progressed on endocrine therapy and received 1-2 prior lines of systemic chemotherapy for metastatic disease. ECOG PS 0-1. A total of 732 patients were randomized.
Datopotamab deruxtecan (Dato-DXd) 6 mg/kg IV on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle versus investigator's choice chemotherapy (eribulin, capecitabine, vinorelbine, or gemcitabine) until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Dual primary endpoints: progression-free survival (PFS) by BICR per RECIST 1.1 and overall survival (OS). Key secondary endpoints: confirmed ORR, duration of response, investigator-assessed PFS, disease control rate, time to first subsequent therapy, safety, and patient-reported outcomes.
Dato-DXd significantly improved PFS versus chemotherapy. Median PFS was 6.9 months (95% CI: 5.7-7.4) versus 4.9 months (95% CI: 4.2-5.5) with chemotherapy (HR 0.63; 95% CI: 0.52-0.76; p<0.0001), representing a 37% reduction in disease progression or death. Confirmed ORR was 36% (95% CI: 31-42) versus 23% (95% CI: 19-28). Two complete responses (0.5%) and 131 partial responses (36%) were observed in the Dato-DXd arm. Median duration of response was 6.7 months (95% CI: 5.6-9.8) versus 5.7 months (95% CI: 4.9-6.8).
Overall survival, a co-primary endpoint, did not reach statistical significance. Median OS was 18.6 months (95% CI: 17.3-20.1) with Dato-DXd versus 18.3 months (95% CI: 17.3-20.5) with chemotherapy (HR 1.01; 95% CI: 0.83-1.22; p=NS). The lack of OS benefit may reflect effective post-progression therapies in both arms.
Dato-DXd had a distinct and manageable safety profile with lower rates of grade 3+ TRAEs compared to chemotherapy. The most common AEs were stomatitis/oral mucositis (59%, G3-4 7%), nausea (56%), fatigue (44%), and alopecia (38%). Ocular adverse reactions occurred in 51% of patients (G3 1.9%), including dry eye (27%) and keratitis (24%). ILD/pneumonitis occurred in 4.2% (G3-4 0.5%, fatal 0.3%). Overall treatment discontinuation due to AEs was only 3.1%, with ILD (1.7%) and fatigue (0.6%) being the most common reasons. Dose reductions occurred in 23%, primarily for stomatitis (13%).
Datroway provides a new chemotherapy alternative for HR+/HER2- mBC patients who have exhausted endocrine therapy and prior chemotherapy. The PFS benefit, higher ORR, and favorable tolerability versus standard chemotherapy support its positioning as a preferred option in this setting. Key debates include the absence of OS benefit, the clinical significance of stomatitis and ocular toxicity requiring proactive management, and the optimal sequencing of Dato-DXd relative to sacituzumab govitecan (Trodelvy) and T-DXd (Enhertu) in HER2-low populations.
