Daiichi Sankyo will present new clinical research across its antibody drug conjugate (ADC) portfolio with more than 25 abstracts across multiple types of cancer at the IASLC 2024 World Conference on Lung Cancer hosted by the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (#WCLC24) and the 2024 European Society for Medical Oncology (#ESMO24).
Data at WCLC and ESMO showcasing Daiichi Sankyo’s progress towards its goal of creating new standards of care for patients with cancer will include six late-breaking presentations, including two back-to-back presentations during Presidential Symposium 1 featuring datopotamab deruxtecan (Dato-DXd) data at WCLC, and the first presentation of clinical data of DS-9606, a CLDN6 directed modified pyrrolobenzodiazepine (PBD) ADC from Daiichi Sankyo’s second ADC platform, at ESMO.
“New data in lung, breast, gastric, ovarian, endometrial and other cancers from several of our DXd antibody drug conjugates demonstrates how we are making substantial progress toward creating new standards of care for patients with cancer,” said Ken Takeshita, MD, global head, R&D, Daiichi Sankyo. “We look forward to presenting initial clinical data from our second antibody drug conjugate platform at ESMO, which underscores how Daiichi Sankyo is applying our expertise in this technology to craft new innovation for patients.”
Progress in Lung Cancer at WCLC and ESMO Late-breaking data at WCLC to be reported during back-to-back presentations at Presidential Symposium 1 will highlight the first interim results from the NeoCOAST-2 phase 2 platform trial evaluating novel perioperative treatment combinations including one arm studying datopotamab deruxtecan with durvalumab and chemotherapy as neoadjuvant treatment followed by adjuvant treatment with durvalumab in patients with resectable early-stage (IIA to IIIB) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
The second Presidential Symposium 1 presentation will feature results from the application of quantitative continuous scoring (QCS), AstraZeneca’s proprietary computational pathology platform, to measure TROP2 in tissue samples collected in the TROPION-Lung01 phase 3 trial that evaluated datopotamab deruxtecan versus docetaxel in patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC treated with at least one prior line of therapy.
Overall survival results from TROPION-Lung01 also will be presented as a late-breaking oral presentation.
Other data at WCLC include two oral presentations featuring the interim results from the dose optimization part of the IDeate-Lung01 phase 2 trial of ifinatamab deruxtecan (I-DXd) in patients with pretreated extensive-stage small cell lung cancer and results from the Enhertu (trastuzumab deruxtecan) monotherapy arm of the DESTINY-Lung03 phase 1b trial in patients with previously treated HER2 overexpressing unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC. A trial-in-progress poster from the NSCLC cohort of a phase 1b trial evaluating the combination of datopotamab deruxtecan and valemetostat, a dual inhibitor of EZH1 and EZH2, in previously treated locally advanced, unresectable or metastatic nonsquamous NSCLC with or without actionable genomic alterations also will be highlighted.
At ESMO, additional data in lung cancer being reported include poster presentations featuring a post-hoc analysis of patients with nonsquamous NSCLC by baseline brain metastases status in the TROPION-Lung01 phase 3 trial of datopotamab deruxtecan and intracranial responses seen in the IDeate-Lung01 phase 2 trial of ifinatamab deruxtecan, as well as a trial-in-progress poster featuring the design of the IDeate-Lung03 phase 1b/2 trial of ifinatamab deruxtecan in combination with atezolizumab with or without carboplatin as first-line induction or maintenance therapy in patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer.
Late-breaking presentations in breast cancer at ESMO will include a proffered paper session featuring the primary results of the DESTINY-Breast12 phase 3b/4 trial evaluating Enhertu in patients with HER2 positive advanced or metastatic breast cancer with or without brain metastases, and two mini oral sessions highlighting patient reported outcomes and determination of the HER2 low and HER2 ultralow status of tumours from the DESTINY-Breast06 phase 3 trial in patients with HR positive, HER2 low and HER2 ultralow metastatic breast cancer.
Two proffered paper sessions will highlight results from the ICARUS-BREAST01 phase 2 study of patritumab deruxtecan (HER3-DXd) in patients with HR positive, HER2 negative advanced breast cancer with disease progression following two or more treatments and the investigator-initiated ERICA phase 2 trial evaluating olanzapine-based triplet antiemetic therapy for prevention of nausea and vomiting in combination with Enhertu in patients with metastatic breast cancer. A mini oral session will feature a supplementary biomarker analysis from the DAISY phase 2 trial evaluating Enhertu in three cohorts of patients with HER2 expressing metastatic breast cancer and a poster presentation will report on an exploratory biomarker analysis of Enhertu in patients with HR positive, HER2 low metastatic breast cancer from the DESTINY-Breast04 phase 3 trial. A poster reporting on exposure-adjusted incidence rates of adverse events from the TROPIONBreast01 phase 3 trial of datopotamab deruxtecan versus chemotherapy in patients with previously treated HR positive, HER2 negative metastatic breast cancer also will be featured.
At ESMO, a proffered paper session will highlight preliminary results from a phase 1 trial of DS-9606, a CLDN6 directed modified PBD ADC from Daiichi Sankyo’s second ADC platform, in patients with solid tumours known to express CLDN6. Results from the DESTINY-Gastric03 phase 1b/2 trial evaluating Enhertu monotherapy or Enhertu combinations with chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy in patients with HER2 expressing advanced/metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal junction carcinoma also will be presented at a proffered paper session.
A mini oral session will feature results from the TROPION-PanTumor03 phase 2 trial of datopotamab deruxtecan in patients with previously treated recurrent endometrial or ovarian cancer. Trial-in-progress poster presentations will highlight the HERTHENA-PanTumor01 phase 2 trial evaluating patritumab deruxtecan in patients with a broad range of solid tumours including bladder, cervical, endometrial, esophageal, gastric, head and neck, melanoma, ovarian, pancreatic and prostate and a phase 1 trial of DS-1471, a CD147 monoclonal antibody, in patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid cancers.
The Daiichi Sankyo ADC portfolio consists of seven ADCs in clinical development crafted from two distinct ADC technology platforms discovered in-house by Daiichi Sankyo.
The ADC platform furthest in clinical development is Daiichi Sankyo’s DXd ADC Technology where each ADC consists of a monoclonal antibody attached to a number of topoisomerase I inhibitor payloads (an exatecan derivative, DXd) via tetrapeptide-based cleavable linkers. The DXd ADC portfolio currently consists of Enhertu, a HER2 directed ADC, and datopotamab deruxtecan (Dato-DXd), a TROP2 directed ADC, which are being jointly developed and commercialized globally with AstraZeneca. Patritumab deruxtecan (HER3-DXd), a HER3 directed ADC, ifinatamab deruxtecan (I-DXd), a B7-H3 directed ADC, and raludotatug deruxtecan (R-DXd), a CDH6 directed ADC, are being jointly developed and commercialized globally with Merck. DS-3939, a TA-MUC1 directed ADC, is being developed by Daiichi Sankyo.
The second Daiichi Sankyo ADC platform consists of a monoclonal antibody attached to a modified PBD payload. DS-9606, a CLDN6 directed PBD ADC, is the first of several planned ADCs in clinical development utilizing this platform.
Datopotamab deruxtecan, ifinatamab deruxtecan, patritumab deruxtecan, raludotatug deruxtecan, DS-3939 and DS-9606 are investigational medicines that have not been approved for any indication in any country. Safety and efficacy have not been established.
