Abstract LBA55

Background

Overexpression and/or amplification of HER2 occurs in ∼20% of gastric or GEJ cancers. In DESTINY-Gastric01, the HER2-targeted antibody-drug conjugate T-DXd improved response and overall survival vs physician’s choice irinotecan/paclitaxel in pts from Japan/Korea with locally advanced or metastatic HER2+ gastric/GEJ cancer who progressed on ≥2L therapy including trastuzumab. Here, we report data from the single-arm, phase 2 DESTINY-Gastric02 trial, the first 2L study of T-DXd in Western pts with HER2+ gastric/GEJ cancer.

Methods

Pts with centrally confirmed HER2+ (IHC3+ or IHC2+/ISH+ biopsy after trastuzumab-based therapy) unresectable/metastatic gastric/GEJ cancer who progressed on or after trastuzumab-containing 1L therapy were treated with T-DXd 6.4 mg/kg intravenously every 3 weeks. The primary endpoint was confirmed objective response rate (ORR) per RECIST v1.1 by independent central review (ICR). Progression-free survival (PFS), duration of response (DoR) by ICR, and safety were secondary endpoints.

Results

Between Dec 2019 and Apr 2021, 79 pts from the US/EU with a median 1.0 (range 1-2) prior therapies were treated with T-DXd for a median of 4.3 mo (range 0.7-15.9). Median duration of follow-up was 5.7 mo (range 0.7-15.2). Median age was 61 years (range 20-78). Confirmed ORR, median PFS, median DoR, and treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) are shown (Table). The most common TEAEs were nausea (66%), vomiting (42%) and fatigue (41%). Adjudicated drug-related interstitial lung disease occurred in 6 (7.6%) pts (grade 1-2, 5 pts; grade 5, 1 pt). Table: LBA55
