TPS9127 Background: Treatment options are limited for patients with advanced/metastatic NSCLC without driver genomic alterations after failure of a platinum-based chemotherapy and immunotherapy; median survival is < 1 year. Datopotamab deruxtecan (Dato-DXd; DS-1062) is an antibody-drug conjugate consisting of a humanized anti-TROP2 IgG1 monoclonal antibody attached to a topoisomerase I inhibitor payload via a tetrapeptide-based cleavable linker. Results from the ongoing phase 1 study (TROPION-PanTumor01; Spira, WCLC 2020) demonstrated an overall response rate (ORR) of 21%, a disease control rate (DCR) of 67%, and a preliminary median progression-free survival (PFS) of 8.2 months (all by blinded independent central review [BICR]), with a manageable safety profile, in patients with NSCLC who were treated with 6 mg/kg of Dato-DXd. This phase 3 study (NCT04656652) will compare the efficacy of Dato-DXd with that of docetaxel as 2/3L therapy in patients with advanced/metastatic NSCLC. Methods: TROPION-Lung01 is an open-label, phase 3, randomized study of Dato-DXd vs docetaxel in patients with advanced/metastatic NSCLC without EGFR, ALK, or other actionable genomic alterations. Patients must have been previously treated with platinum-based chemotherapy and a PD-(L)1 monoclonal antibody in combination or sequentially and have radiographic disease progression on or after the most recent therapy. Those with asymptomatic and stable/treated brain metastases are eligible. A tumor specimen is required for biomarker analyses. Patients (N = 590) are randomized 1:1 to either Dato-DXd 6 mg/kg or docetaxel 75 mg/m2 given intravenously on day 1 of each 3-week cycle. Randomization is stratified by histology (squamous vs nonsquamous), immunotherapy in last regimen (yes vs no), and region (US/Japan/Western Europe vs rest of world). Treatment continues until disease progression or intolerance or other discontinuation criteria are met. The study will be conducted globally at approximately 184 study sites. Dual primary endpoints are PFS by BICR and overall survival. Secondary outcome measures include PFS by investigator, ORR, duration of response, DCR, and time to response (all assessed by BICR and by investigator per RECIST version1.1), patient-reported outcomes, safety, pharmacokinetics, and proportion of patients who develop antidrug antibodies. Biomarkers will be evaluated for potential associations with efficacy. Clinical trial information: NCT04656652.
