Abstract 433TiP
Background
Trophoblast cell surface antigen 2 (TROP2) is commonly overexpressed in patients (pts) with HR+/HER2- mBC and is associated with poor prognosis. Sac-TMT (also known as MK-2870/SKB264) is a novel anti-TROP2 antibody-drug conjugate composed of an anti-TROP2 antibody coupled to a cytotoxic belotecan derivative via a novel linker (average drug/antibody ratio, 7.4). In a phase 1/2 study, IV sac-TMT alone had antitumor activity in pts with previously treated HR+/HER2- mBC (ORR, 36.8%). TroFuse-010 evaluates sac-TMT alone or with pembrolizumab (pembro) vs TPC in pts with HR+/HER2- unresectable locally advanced or mBC.
Trial design
This phase 3, randomized, open-label study (NCT06312176) is enrolling pts ≥18 y with HR+/HER2- unresectable locally advanced or mBC, ECOG PS ≤1, and a tumor sample for central assessment of TROP2 expression and HR, HER2, and PD-L1 status. Pts are candidates for chemotherapy (ChT) and had either (a) PD after ≥1 line of endocrine therapy (ET), 1 of which was with a CDK4/6 inhibitor (CKD4/6i), (b) PD ≤6 mo after starting 1L ET + CDK4/6i where the CDK4/6i was discontinued before the PD, (c) PD >6 mo after starting 1L ET + CKD4/6i (where the CDK4/6i was discontinued before the PD) and PD on an additional ET (either as monotherapy or combined with a PI3K or mTOR inhibitor), or (d) relapse during or ≤12 mo after completing CDK4/6i given as adjuvant therapy together with ET. Key exclusion criteria are prior treatment with ChT in the metastatic setting and, if treated with prior (neo)adjuvant ChT, recurrence ≤6 mo after completion of ChT. Pts are randomized 3:3:2 to receive IV sac-TMT 4 mg/kg Q2W, IV sac-TMT 4 mg/kg Q2W + pembro 400 mg Q6W, or TPC (paclitaxel, nab-paclitaxel, capecitabine, or liposomal doxorubicin) until radiographic PD, unacceptable toxicity, pt withdrawal, or discontinuation criteria are met. Primary endpoints are PFS per RECIST v1.1 by BICR with sac-TMT vs TPC and sac-TMT + pembro vs TPC. Secondary endpoints include OS, PFS per RECIST v1.1 by BICR with sac-TMT + pembro vs sac-TMT, ORR, DOR, PROs, and safety. Recruitment began in April 2024.
