Randomized Controlled Trial
Trastuzumab deruxtecan versus trastuzumab emtansine in patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer: updated results from DESTINY-Breast03, a randomised, open-label, phase 3 trial.
BACKGROUND
An improvement in progression-free survival was shown with trastuzumab deruxtecan versus trastuzumab emtansine in patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer in the progression-free survival interim analysis of the DESTINY-Breast03 trial. The aim of DESTINY-Breast03 was to compare the efficacy and safety of trastuzumab deruxtecan versus trastuzumab emtansine.
METHODS
This open-label, randomised, multicentre, phase 3 trial was done in 169 study centres in North America, Asia, Europe, Australia, and South America. Eligible patients were aged 18 or older, had HER2-positive unresectable or metastatic breast cancer previously treated with trastuzumab and a taxane, had an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status 0-1, and at least one measurable lesion per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours version 1.1. Patients were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive trastuzumab deruxtecan 5·4 mg/kg or trastuzumab emtansine 3·6 mg/kg, both administered by intravenous infusion every 3 weeks. Randomisation was stratified by hormone receptor status, previous treatment with pertuzumab, and history of visceral disease, and was managed through an interactive web-based system. Within each stratum, balanced block randomisation was used with a block size of four. Patients and investigators were not masked to the treatment received. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival by blinded independent central review. The key secondary endpoint was overall survival and this prespecified second overall survival interim analysis reports updated overall survival, efficacy, and safety results. Efficacy analyses were performed using the full analysis set. Safety analyses included all randomly assigned patients who received at least one dose of study treatment. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03529110.
FINDINGS
Between July 20, 2018, and June 23, 2020, 699 patients were screened for eligibility, 524 of whom were enrolled and randomly assigned to receive trastuzumab deruxtecan (n=261) or trastuzumab emtansine (n=263). Median duration of study follow-up was 28·4 months (IQR 22·1-32·9) with trastuzumab deruxtecan and 26·5 months (14·5-31·3) with trastuzumab emtansine. Median progression-free survival by blinded independent central review was 28·8 months (95% CI 22·4-37·9) with trastuzumab deruxtecan and 6·8 months (5·6-8·2) with trastuzumab emtansine (hazard ratio [HR] 0·33 [95% CI 0·26-0·43]; nominal p<0·0001). Median overall survival was not reached (95% CI 40·5 months-not estimable), with 72 (28%) overall survival events, in the trastuzumab deruxtecan group and was not reached (34·0 months-not estimable), with 97 (37%) overall survival events, in the trastuzumab emtansine group (HR 0·64; 95% CI 0·47-0·87]; p=0·0037). The number of grade 3 or worse treatment-emergent adverse events was similar in patients who received trastuzumab deruxtecan versus trastuzumab emtansine (145 [56%] patients versus 135 [52%] patients). Adjudicated drug-related interstitial lung disease or pneumonitis occurred in 39 (15%) patients treated with trastuzumab deruxtecan and eight (3%) patients treated with trastuzumab emtansine, with no grade 4 or 5 events in either group.
INTERPRETATION
Trastuzumab deruxtecan showed a significant improvement in overall survival versus trastuzumab emtansine in patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer, as well as the longest reported median progression-free survival, reaffirming trastuzumab deruxtecan as the standard of care in the second-line setting. A manageable safety profile of trastuzumab deruxtecan was confirmed with longer treatment duration.

Review
The long-sought discovery of HER2 as an actionable and highly sensitive therapeutic target was a major breakthrough for the treatment of highly aggressive HER2-positive breast cancer, leading to approval of the first HER2-targeted drug - the monoclonal antibody trastuzumab - almost 25 years ago. Since then, progress has been swift and the impressive clinical activity across multiple trials with monoclonal antibodies, tyrosine kinase inhibitors and antibody-drug conjugates that target HER2 has spawned extensive efforts to develop newer platforms and more targeted therapies. This Review discusses the current standards of care for HER2-positive breast cancer, mechanisms of resistance to HER2-targeted therapy and new therapeutic approaches and agents, including strategies to harness the immune system.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability of Pertuzumab, Trastuzumab, and Docetaxel for Patients With Early or Locally Advanced ERBB2-Positive Breast Cancer in Asia: The PEONY Phase 3 Randomized Clinical Trial.
IMPORTANCE
Prospective assessment of treatments known to benefit patients in global clinical trials in specific racial groups is essential.
OBJECTIVE
To compare the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of adding pertuzumab to trastuzumab and docetaxel vs placebo, trastuzumab, and docetaxel in Asian patients with ERBB2-positive early or locally advanced breast cancer.
DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS
This multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 3 trial enrolled 329 women with ERBB2-positive early (T2-3, N0-1, M0) or locally advanced breast cancer (T2-3, N2 or N3, M0; T4, any N, M0) and primary tumor larger than 2 cm from March 14, 2016, to March 13, 2017. Analysis of the primary end point was performed on an intention-to-treat basis.
INTERVENTIONS
Before surgery, patients received 4 cycles of intravenous pertuzumab (840-mg loading dose and 420-mg maintenance doses), trastuzumab (8-mg/kg loading dose and 6-mg/kg maintenance doses), and docetaxel (75 mg/m2) or intravenous placebo, trastuzumab, and docetaxel every 3 weeks. After surgery, patients received 3 cycles of intravenous fluorouracil, epirubicin, and cyclophosphamide followed by 13 cycles of the same intravenous anti-ERBB2 therapy (pertuzumab and trastuzumab or placebo and trastuzumab) for up to 1 year.
MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES
The primary end point was independent review committee-assessed total pathologic complete response rate. The 2-sided Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel test, stratified by disease category and hormone receptor status, was used to compare rates between treatment groups.
RESULTS
In total, 329 female patients were randomized (pertuzumab, 219; and placebo, 110; mean [SD] age, 48.8 [9.5] years). In the intention-to-treat population, total pathologic complete response rates were 39.3% (86 of 219) in the pertuzumab group and 21.8% (24 of 110) in the placebo group (difference, 17.5% [95% CI, 6.9%-28.0%]; P = .001). Of the most common grade 3 or higher adverse events, there was a higher incidence of neutropenia in the pertuzumab group (83 of 218 [38.1%] vs 36 of 110 [32.7%]). Serious adverse events were reported in 10.1% of patients (22 of 218) in the pertuzumab group and 8.2% of patients (9 of 110) in the placebo group.
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE
Treatment with pertuzumab, trastuzumab, and docetaxel resulted in a statistically significant improvement in the total pathologic complete response rate vs placebo, trastuzumab, and docetaxel for the neoadjuvant treatment of ERBB2-positive early or locally advanced breast cancer in Asian patients. Safety data were in line with the known pertuzumab safety profile and generally comparable between treatment groups. The PEONY trial adds to the totality of data showing the benefit of the pertuzumab regimen.

Review
A novel class of drugs, antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), are now rapidly emerging as highly effective treatments for solid tumours. ADCs conjugate conventional chemotherapeutics with highly selective targeted monoclonal antibodies. Anti-HER2 therapies selectively target cancer cells expressing human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), among them trastuzumab has been the first HER2-targeting monoclonal antibody to achieve successful results that made it the backbone of anti-HER2 therapies. Trastuzumab drug conjugates (T-DCs), use trastuzumab as a selective antibody to lead cytotoxic drugs inside cancer cells. Trastuzumab-emtansine (T-DM1) and trastuzumab-deruxtecan (T-Dxd) are the two approved T-DCs. T-Dxd along with other five T-DCs represents "second generation ADCs" that has been firstly tested in HER2 positive breast cancer (BC) and then in HER2-low BC and other cancers showing promising results thanks to extraordinary and innovative pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic characteristics. The evidence generated so far are establishing them as a completely new class of agents effective in solid cancer treatments but also warrants physicians against unconventional toxicity profiles. The role of T-DCs in HER2-positive BC has been largely reviewed, while in this review, we provided for the first time in literature an overview of trastuzumab drug conjugates (T-DCs) approved and/or in clinical development with a specific focus on their efficacy and safety profile in HER2-low BC and other solid tumours different from BC. We started by analysing T-DCs biological characteristics that underly the differences in T-DCs pharmacodynamics and safety profile, then presented the main evidence on the activity and efficacy of these emerging T-DCs in HER2-low BC and other HER2 overexpressing and/or mutated solid tumours and lastly, we provided an overview of the complex and still evolving scenario in which these compounds should be allocated. A specific focus on possible combination strategies with other drugs such as immunotherapy, chemotherapy and target therapy, to increase T-DCs activity and eventually overcome future upcoming resistance mechanisms, are here also critically reviewed.

Ferroptosis has been previously implicated in the pathological progression of cardiomyopathy. Herceptin (trastuzumab), which targets HER2, is commonly applied for the treatment of HER2 breast cancer. However, its clinical use is limited by its cardiotoxicity. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate if targeting ferroptosis could protect against Herceptin‑induced heart failure in an model of H9c2 cells after treatment of Herceptin, Herceptin + ferroptosis inhibitor ferrostatin‑1 (Fer‑1) or Herceptin + Deferoxamine. H9c2 cell viability was measured by MTT assay. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels were detected by measuring the fluorescence of DCFH‑DA‑A and MitoSOX™ Red. Glutathione (GSH)/oxidized glutathione (GSSG) ratio was measured using the GSH/GSSG Ratio Detection Assay kit. Mitochondrial membrane potential and ATP content were evaluated by JC‑1 staining and bioluminescent assay kits, respectively. Protein expressions of glutathione peroxidase 4, recombinant solute carrier family 7 member 11, mitochondrial optic atrophy1‑1/2, mitofusin, Acyl‑CoA synthetase long chain family member 4, cytochrome , voltage‑dependent anion‑selective channel, dynamin‑related protein, mitochondrial fission 1 protein and mitochondrial ferritin were evaluated by western blotting. It was found that Herceptin reduced H9c2 cell viability whilst increasing intracellular and mitochondrial ROS levels in a dose‑ and time‑dependent manner. Furthermore, Herceptin decreased glutathione peroxidase (GPX) protein expression and the GSH/ GSSG ratio in H9c2 cells in a dose‑ and time‑dependent manner. The Fer‑1 abolished this Herceptin‑induced reduction in cell viability, GSH/GSSG ratio, mitochondrial membrane potential and ATP content. Fer‑1 also reversed the suppressive effects of Herceptin on the protein expression levels of GPX4, recombinant solute carrier family 7 member 11, mitochondrial optic atrophy1‑1/2 and mitofusin in H9c2 cells. Subsequently, Fer‑1 was found to reverse the Herceptin‑induced increase in mitochondrial ROS and iron levels in H9c2 cells, as well as the increased protein expression levels of Acyl‑CoA synthetase long chain family member 4, cytochrome , voltage‑dependent anion‑selective channel, dynamin‑related protein, mitochondrial fission 1 protein and mitochondrial ferritin in H9c2 cells. However, compared with deferoxamine, an iron chelator, the effects of Fer‑1 were less effective. Collectively, these findings provided insights into the pathogenic mechanism that underlie Herceptin‑induced cardiomyopathy, which potentially provides a novel therapeutic target for the prevention of cardiotoxicity in HER2 breast cancer treatment.

The 'Antibodies to Watch' article series provides an annual summary of commercially sponsored monoclonal antibody therapeutics currently in late-stage clinical development, regulatory review, and those recently granted a first approval in any country. In this installment, we discuss key details for 16 antibody therapeutics granted a first approval in 2023, as of November 17 (lecanemab (Leqembi), rozanolixizumab (RYSTIGGO), pozelimab (VEOPOZ), mirikizumab (Omvoh), talquetamab (Talvey), elranatamab (Elrexfio), epcoritamab (EPKINLY), glofitamab (COLUMVI), retifanlimab (Zynyz), concizumab (Alhemo), lebrikizumab (EBGLYSS), tafolecimab (SINTBILO), narlumosbart (Jinlitai), zuberitamab (Enrexib), adebrelimab (Arelili), and divozilimab (Ivlizi)). We briefly review 26 product candidates for which marketing applications are under consideration in at least one country or region, and 23 investigational antibody therapeutics that are forecast to enter regulatory review by the end of 2024 based on company disclosures. These nearly 50 product candidates include numerous innovative bispecific antibodies, such as odronextamab, ivonescimab, linvoseltamab, zenocutuzumab, and erfonrilimab, and antibody-drug conjugates, such as trastuzumab botidotin, patritumab deruxtecan, datopotamab deruxtecan, and MRG002, as well as a mixture of two immunocytokines (bifikafusp alfa and onfekafusp alfa). We also discuss clinical phase transition and overall approval success rates for antibody therapeutics, which are crucial to the biopharmaceutical industry because these rates inform decisions about resource allocation. Our analyses indicate that these molecules have approval success rates in the range of 14-32%, with higher rates associated with antibodies developed for non-cancer indications. Overall, our data suggest that antibody therapeutic development efforts by the biopharmaceutical industry are robust and increasingly successful.

Meta-Analysis Review
Trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) is a novel antibody-drug-conjugate (ADC), primarily used in the treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer. This study aimed to conduct a systematic review to evaluate the efficacy and safety of T-DXd in treating breast cancer, based on clinical trials. A systematic search of the literature was conducted to identify clinical trials investigating the efficacy and safety of T-DXd in breast cancer. Clinical trials of any phase were included. Outcome measures were any adverse events and survival. Meta-analysis was conducted where possible. Pooled prevalence for each adverse event of any grade and grade 3 or greater were estimated. Progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and objective response rates (ORRs) were also reported to evaluate the efficacy of T-DXd in breast cancer. A total of 1593 patients from 6 clinical trials were included. Common adverse events of any grade were nausea, anemia, neutropenia, vomiting, fatigue, constipation and diarrhea, occurring in greater than 30% of cases. In terms of adverse events of grade 3 or more, only anemia and neutropenia occurred at a relatively high rate. Median PFS ranged from 11.1 to 22.1 months. There was evidence of a benefit of T-DXd compared to controls in terms of both PFS (OR: 0.38; 95% CI: 0.32, 0.45) and OS (OR: 0.61; 95% CI: 0.48, 0.78). ORRs ranged from 37% to 79.9%. The present systematic review shows evidence that T-DXd is a safe and effective agent in the treatment of breast cancer based on currently available data. The most common adverse events affected the blood, lymphatic and gastrointestinal systems. Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a notable and potentially serious adverse event.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Pyrotinib versus placebo in combination with trastuzumab and docetaxel as first line treatment in patients with HER2 positive metastatic breast cancer (PHILA): randomised, double blind, multicentre, phase 3 trial.
OBJECTIVE
To assess the efficacy and safety of pyrotinib (an irreversible pan-HER (human epidermal growth factor receptor) inhibitor), trastuzumab, and docetaxel compared with placebo, trastuzumab, and docetaxel for untreated HER2 positive metastatic breast cancer.
DESIGN
Randomised, double blind, placebo controlled, multicentre, phase 3 trial.
SETTING
40 centres in China between 6 May 2019 and 17 January 2022.
PARTICIPANTS
590 female patients (median age 52 (interquartile range 46-58) years) with untreated HER2 positive metastatic breast cancer.
INTERVENTIONS
Eligible patients were randomised 1:1 to receive either oral pyrotinib (400 mg once daily) or placebo, both combined with intravenous trastuzumab (8 mg/kg in cycle 1 and 6 mg/kg in subsequent cycles) and docetaxel (75 mg/m) on day 1 of each 21 day cycle. Randomisation was stratified by treatment history of trastuzumab in the (neo)adjuvant setting and hormone receptor status. Patients, investigators, and the sponsor's study team were masked to treatment assignment.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES
The primary endpoint was progression-free survival as assessed by the investigator.
RESULTS
Of the 590 randomised patients, 297 received pyrotinib, trastuzumab, and docetaxel treatment (pyrotinib group), and 293 received placebo, trastuzumab, and docetaxel treatment (placebo group). At data cut-off on 25 May 2022, the median follow-up was 15.5 months. The median progression-free survival according to the investigator was significantly longer in the pyrotinib group than in the placebo group (24.3 (95% confidence interval 19.1 to 33.0) months versus 10.4 (9.3 to 12.3) months; hazard ratio 0.41 (95% confidence interval 0.32 to 0.53); one sided P<0.001). Treatment related adverse events of grade 3 or higher were reported in 267 (90%) of the 297 patients in the pyrotinib group and 224 (76%) of the 293 patients in the placebo group. No treatment related deaths occurred in the pyrotinib group, and one (<1%; diabetic hyperosmolar coma) treatment related death occurred in the placebo group. Survival and toxicities are still under assessment with longer follow-up.
CONCLUSIONS
Pyrotinib, trastuzumab, and docetaxel showed superiority by significantly improving progression-free survival compared with placebo, trastuzumab, and docetaxel in patients with untreated HER2 positive metastatic breast cancer. The toxicity was manageable. The findings support this dual anti-HER2 regimen as an alternative first line treatment option in this patient population.

HER2-targeted therapies are approved only for HER2-positive breast and gastric cancers. We assessed the safety/tolerability and activity of the novel HER2-targeted antibody-drug conjugate trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) in 60 patients with pretreated, HER2-expressing (IHC ≥ 1+), non-breast/non-gastric or -mutant solid tumors from a phase I trial (NCT02564900). Most common (>50%) treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAE) were nausea, decreased appetite, and vomiting. Two drug-related TEAEs were associated with fatal outcomes. The confirmed objective response rate (ORR) was 28.3% (17/60). Median progression-free survival (PFS) was 7.2 [95% confidence interval (CI), 4.8-11.1] months. In -mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), ORR was 72.7% (8/11), and median PFS was 11.3 (95% CI, 8.1-14.3) months. Confirmed responses were observed in six tumor types, including HER2-expressing NSCLC, colorectal cancer, salivary gland cancer, biliary tract cancer, endometrial cancer, and -mutant NSCLC and breast cancer. Results suggest T-DXd holds promise for HER2-expressing/mutant solid tumors. SIGNIFICANCE: T-DXd demonstrated promising activity in a heterogeneous patient population with heavily pretreated HER2-expressing or -mutant solid tumors, especially -mutant NSCLC. The safety profile was generally acceptable. Interstitial lung disease can be severe and requires prompt monitoring and intervention. Further research of T-DXd is warranted to address these unmet medical needs...

Review
Multidisciplinary clinical guidance on trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd)-related interstitial lung disease/pneumonitis-Focus on proactive monitoring, diagnosis, and management.
Trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd; DS-8201) is an antibody-drug conjugate targeting human epidermal growth factor receptor 2. Interstitial lung disease (ILD)/pneumonitis is an adverse event associated with T-DXd; in most cases, it is low grade (grade ≤ 2) and can be treated effectively but may develop to be fatal in some instances. It is important to increase patient and provider understanding of T-DXd-related ILD/pneumonitis to improve patient outcomes. Drug-related ILD/pneumonitis is a diagnosis of exclusion; other possible causes of lung injury/imaging findings must be ruled out for an accurate diagnosis. Symptoms can be nonspecific, and identifying early symptoms is challenging; therefore, diagnosis is often delayed. We reviewed characteristics of patients who developed T-DXd-related ILD/pneumonitis and its patterns, produced multidisciplinary guidelines on diagnosis and management, and described areas for future investigation. Ongoing studies are collecting data on T-DXd-related ILD/pneumonitis to further our understanding of its clinical patterns and mechanisms. SEARCH STRATEGY AND SELECTION CRITERIA: References were identified based on the guidelines used by the authors in treating interstitial lung disease and pneumonitis. Searches of the authors' own files were also completed. A search of PubMed with the search terms (trastuzumab deruxtecan) AND (interstitial lung disease) AND (guidelines) was conducted on November 1, 2021, with no restrictions based on publication date, and the two articles yielded by the search were included.
