[Slide 1] Background and OptiTROP-Lung03 Study Design Sac-TMT is a TROP2 ADC with a unique bifunctional linker that maximizes delivery of a belotecan-derivative topo I inhibitor payload to tumor cells. The OptiTROP-Lung03 study (NCT05631262) previously demonstrated statistically significant PFS and OS benefits with sac-TMT VS docetaxel in previously treated EGFRm NSCLC1. After median follow-up 12.2 months, HR for PFS by BIRC was 0.30 (95% CI 0.20-0.46, one-sided p<0.001) and HR for OS was 0.49 (95% CI 0.27-0.88 one-sided p=0.007). Based on results of this study, sac-TMT has been recently approved by China NMPA establishing it as the first TROP2-ADC approved for lung cancer. Here, we report the results of pre-specified final OS analysis from this study, including updated PFS and safety. Key Eligibility Primary Endpoint ECOG score 0 or 1 Sac-TMT Treatment until disease progression, ORR* assessed by BIRC Nsq-NSCLC (stage IIIB/IIIC ineligible for 5 mg/kg IV, Q2W intolerable toxicity, or any other Secondary endpoints surgery or radical radiotherapy or stage IV) R reason for discontinuation PFS EGFR-sensitizing mutations, including 19. 2:1 Del and L858R OS Progression after prior combination or ORR assessed by investigator sequential treatment with EGFR-TKIs and Docetaxel After PD verified by BIRC, patients could DOR, DCR, TTR platinum-based chemotherapy 75 mg/m2 IV, Q3W be permitted to cross over to receive sac- Safety TMT.

About the OptiTROP-Lung-03 Trial

OptiTROP-Lung03 (NCT05631262) is a randomized phase 2 trial evaluating sacituzumab tirumotecan (sac-TMT), a TROP2-directed antibody-drug conjugate with a unique bifunctional linker delivering a belotecan-derivative topoisomerase I inhibitor payload. The study compares sac-TMT (5 mg/kg IV, Q2W) versus docetaxel (75 mg/m2 IV, Q3W) in patients with previously treated EGFR-mutant advanced NSCLC who progressed after EGFR TKI and platinum-based chemotherapy. Patients were randomized 2:1 with stratification by brain metastasis status. Crossover from docetaxel to sac-TMT was permitted after verified progressive disease.

Trial Methodology & Results

Study Design

Randomized, open-label, phase 2 study comparing sac-TMT vs docetaxel in a 2:1 ratio. Stratification by brain metastases (present vs absent). No companion diagnostic required.

Population

Patients with non-squamous NSCLC (stage IIIB/IIIC ineligible for surgery or radical radiotherapy, or stage IV) harboring EGFR-sensitizing mutations (19del and L858R), who progressed after combination or sequential treatment with EGFR TKIs and platinum-based chemotherapy. ECOG PS 0-1.

Interventions

Sac-TMT 5 mg/kg IV every 2 weeks versus docetaxel 75 mg/m2 IV every 3 weeks. Treatment continued until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, or other discontinuation criteria. Crossover to sac-TMT was permitted after BIRC-verified progressive disease on docetaxel.

Primary Endpoints

Primary endpoint: confirmed objective response rate (ORR) assessed by BIRC per RECIST v1.1. Secondary endpoints: PFS, OS, investigator-assessed ORR, duration of response (DOR), disease control rate (DCR), time to response (TTR), and safety.

Progression-Free Survival (PFS)

At the pre-specified final OS analysis (median follow-up 23.8 months), sac-TMT demonstrated a significant PFS benefit. Median PFS by investigator was 7.9 months with sac-TMT versus 2.8 months with docetaxel (HR 0.23, 95% CI 0.15-0.35). The BIRC-assessed PFS at the earlier analysis showed HR 0.30 (95% CI 0.20-0.46, one-sided p<0.001).

Overall Survival (OS)

After a median follow-up of 23.8 months, sac-TMT demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in OS: median OS 20.0 months (95% CI 14.8, NE) vs 13.5 months (95% CI 8.0, 17.2) with docetaxel (HR 0.63, 95% CI 0.40-0.98). The 18-month OS rate was 54.7% vs 34.0%. After adjusting for crossover (41% of docetaxel patients received sac-TMT) using the pre-specified RPSFT model, HR was 0.45 (95% CI 0.28-0.73) with median OS 20.0 vs 11.2 months.

Safety & Tolerability

Sac-TMT continues to have a manageable safety profile with no new safety signals identified after a median follow-up of approximately 2 years. The safety profile was consistent with earlier reports. At the earlier ASCO analysis, sac-TMT demonstrated a better safety profile compared to docetaxel.

Manageable safety, no new signals at 2yr

Clinical Implications

Sac-TMT is the first therapy to achieve long-term OS benefits in patients with advanced EGFR-mutant NSCLC who progressed after EGFR TKI and platinum-based chemotherapy. The final OS analysis underscores sac-TMT as a promising new treatment option for this population. Sac-TMT has been approved by China NMPA for EGFR-mutant NSCLC based on the related OptiTROP-Lung04 study (published in NEJM), establishing it as the first TROP2-ADC approved for lung cancer. Sac-TMT remains investigational outside China and is not FDA-approved.
