Brief Summary  

This is a Phase III, randomised, open-label, 2-arm, multicentre, international study assessing the efficacy and safety of Dato-DXd compared with ICC in participants with locally recurrent inoperable or metastatic TNBC who are not candidates for PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor therapy.

The primary purpose of the study is to determine the efficacy and safety of Dato -DXd compared with investigator’s choice single agent chemotherapy in the target population.

Approximately 800 participants with TNBC will be screened/enrolled to achieve

approximately 600 randomised to study intervention ({andomised 1:1 to either Dato-DXd 6.0 mg/kg IV Q3W or ICC (Paclitaxel, Nab-paclitaxel, Capecitabine, Eribulin mesylate, Carboplatin)} .

 

Randomisation will be stratified by the following prognostic factors:

 Geographic region (Region 1 [US, Canada, Europe] versus Region 2 [Rest of World])

 DFI history (de novo versus prior DFI ï‚£ 12 months versus prior DFI > 12 months)

 PD-L1 status (positive [CPS ≥ 10] versus negative [CPS < 10])

A recruitment cap of 20% of the randomised participants will be applied to participants who have a DFI ≤ 12 months.

A recruitment cap of approximately 10% of the randomised participants will be applied to participants who have PD-L1-positive (CPS ≥ 10) tumours who would otherwise be eligible for pembrolizumab but do not have regulatory access to pembrolizumab (participant’s country does not have regulatory approval at the time of screening).

 

All participants will receive study intervention until investigator-defined disease progression according to RECIST 1.1, or until unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or another criterion for discontinuation is met. Intervention beyond RECIST 1.1-defined radiological progression is not permitted in this study. No crossover between study treatment arms will be allowed. Switching between ICC chemotherapy agents is not permitted.

 

Tumor evaluation scan will be performed at screening (as baseline) followed by every 6 weeks (± 7 days) from randomisation for 48 weeks, then every 9 weeks

(±7 days) thereafter until RECIST 1.1 disease progression (as assessed by the

investigator), regardless of study intervention discontinuation or start of subsequent anti-cancer therapy. Following disease progression, 1 additional follow-up tumour imaging assessment should be performed per imaging schedule (ie, either 6 weeks or 9 weeks later).

 

The study will compare PFS, OS and other measures of efficacy between the study treatment groups and further characterize the safety and tolerability profile of Dato DXt.

 

Duration of Treatment: Unless specific treatment discontinuation criteria are met or the patient withdraws consent, all patients will continue receiving treatment until disease progression. For patients randomized to the investigator’s choice single agent chemotherapy arm, crossover to Dato-DXd will not be permitted.

 

Follow-up of Participants Post-discontinuation of Study Intervention: After study intervention discontinuation, all participants will undergo an end-of-treatment visit (within 7 days of the decision to discontinue treatment) and will be followed up for safety assessments 28 + 7 days after their last dose of study intervention (ie, the safety follow-up visit).

Participants who have discontinued study intervention in the absence of RECIST 1.1-defined radiological progression (by investigator assessment) will be followed up with tumour assessments according to the SoA until RECIST 1.1-defined PD (as assessed by the investigator) or death regardless of whether or not the participant started a subsequent anti-cancer therapy, unless they have withdrawn all consent to study-related assessments.

 

In addition, all participants will be followed up for survival status after intervention discontinuation every 3 months ± 14 days from the date of the safety follow-up visit until death, withdrawal of consent, or the end of the study (ie, progression/survival follow-up), per the SoA.

 

Participants may also be followed up for time to second progression or death (PFS2) and subsequent anti-cancer therapy use after intervention discontinuation every 3 months (± 14 days) from the date of the safety follow-up visit until death, withdrawal of consent, or  the end of the study (ie, progression/survival follow-up), per the SoA.
