AstraZeneca will highlight momentum of practice-changing cancer medicines across its robust pipeline at ASCO 2023

TAGRISSO® (osimertinib) plenary presentation will demonstrate significantly improved overall survival for patients with early-stage resectable EGFR-mutated lung cancer

ENHERTU® (fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan-nxki) will show potential across a broad range of advanced HER2-expressing advanced cancers

LYNPARZA® (olaparib) and IMFINZI® (durvalumab) combination will demonstrate delay in progression in newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer without a tumor BRCA mutation

AstraZeneca advances its ambition to revolutionize cancer care with new data across its industry-leading portfolio of cancer medicines at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting, June 2 to 6, 2023.

More than 130 abstracts will feature 22 approved and potential new medicines across the Company’s diverse oncology portfolio and pipeline, including 11 oral presentations and a late-breaking plenary presentation of overall survival (OS) results from the ADAURA Phase III trial of TAGRISSO® (osimertinib) in the adjuvant treatment of patients with early-stage epidermal growth factor receptor-mutated (EGFRm) lung cancer.

Dave Fredrickson, Executive Vice President, Oncology Business Unit, AstraZeneca, said: “Our unwavering commitment to continually raising the standard of cancer care for patients with high unmet needs is evident in our data at ASCO this year. With our leading portfolio of medicines in lung cancer, our ambition is to have the right AstraZeneca medicine for more than half of all patients with this disease by 2030. We will showcase significant steps toward that goal with overall survival data from ADAURA that reinforce TAGRISSO as the backbone therapy in EGFR-mutated lung cancer.”

Susan Galbraith, Executive Vice President, Oncology R&D, AstraZeneca, said: “We are extending the benefits of our practice-changing cancer medicines, including TAGRISSO, IMFINZI and LYNPARZA, while also investing in new scientific platforms such as T-cell engagers and cell therapy to attack cancer from multiple angles and advance the next wave of options for patients. At ASCO, the extraordinary momentum for our antibody drug conjugate collaboration portfolio continues with data for ENHERTU underscoring its potential across many HER2-expressing tumor types beyond breast, lung and gastric, and updated results for datopotamab deruxtecan that reinforce our confidence in this TROP2-directed treatment.”

Improving outcomes across lung cancer settings

A late-breaking plenary presentation will showcase OS results from the ADAURA Phase III trial evaluating TAGRISSO in early-stage (IB, II and IIIA) EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Several posters will describe trials-in-progress of IMFINZI® (durvalumab) that further reinforce the Company’s progress toward moving lung cancer treatment to earlier stages of disease. These include NeoCOAST-2 evaluating IMFINZI in multiple novel immunotherapy combinations in resectable, early-stage NSCLC; PACIFIC-4 in combination with standard of care stereotactic body radiation therapy in medically unresectable Stage I/II NSCLC; PACIFIC-8 in combination with anti-TIGIT monoclonal antibody domvanalimab in unresectable Stage III NSCLC; and PACIFIC-9 in combination with novel immunotherapies oleclumab or monalizumab in patients with unresectable Stage III NSCLC.

Additionally, several presentations and posters will highlight the Company’s commitment to improving outcomes in advanced lung cancer with next-wave treatments and novel combinations. These include:

  • An oral presentation of updated results from the TROPION-Lung02 Phase Ib dose escalation and expansion trial of datopotamab deruxtecan (Dato-DXd) in combination with pembrolizumab with or without platinum chemotherapy in patients with previously untreated or pretreated, advanced or metastatic NSCLC without actionable genomic alterations. TROPION-Lung02 is the first trial to show results for an antibody drug conjugate (ADC) plus an immune checkpoint inhibitor combination with or without chemotherapy in this setting.
  • Interim results from the ARTEMIDE-01 Phase I trial assessing rilvegostomig (AZD2936), a PD-1/TIGIT bispecific antibody, in patients with advanced or metastatic NSCLC. The Company is advancing rilvegostomig into Phase III development this year.
  • A trial-in-progress poster describing the EGRET Phase I trial, a first-in-human study evaluating AZD9592, an EGFR/cMET bispecific ADC, in patients with advanced solid tumors including in combination with TAGRISSO in metastatic EGFRm NSCLC. This is the Company’s first bispecific ADC to enter the clinic and has shown a promising efficacy and safety profile in preclinical models.
  • A trial-in-progress poster describing the LATIFY Phase III trial of ceralasertib, an ataxia telangiectasia and rad3-related (ATR) kinase inhibitor, plus IMFINZI in patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC who progressed on or after anti-PD-(L)1 and platinum-based therapy. This combination has previously demonstrated promising efficacy in this setting in the ongoing HUDSON Phase II trial.
  • A trial-in-progress poster detailing the TROPION-Lung04 Phase Ib dose escalation and expansion study of datopotamab deruxtecan in various immunotherapy combinations with or without carboplatin in patients with previously untreated advanced or metastatic NSCLC, including recently initiated cohorts with bispecific immunotherapies rilvegostomig and volrustomig.

Showcasing the potential of ENHERTU® (fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan-nxki) across multiple HER2-expressing tumors

Several presentations will reinforce the potential of ENHERTU in a broad range of HER2-expressing tumors with significant unmet need, including gynecological, genitourinary, gastrointestinal and breast cancers.

A late-breaking oral presentation of interim results from the DESTINY-PanTumor02 Phase II trial will highlight the efficacy and safety of ENHERTU in heavily pretreated patients across multiple HER2-expressing advanced solid tumors including biliary tract, bladder, cervical, endometrial, ovarian, pancreatic, and rare cancers. In March, ENHERTU met the prespecified target for objective response rate and demonstrated durable responses across multiple HER2-expressing tumor types in this trial.

Additionally, an oral presentation of primary results from the DESTINY-CRC02 Phase II trial will be presented, demonstrating the safety and efficacy of ENHERTU in patients with HER2-positive advanced colorectal cancer with progression following standard-of-care treatment. This trial was initiated based on positive data for ENHERTU in the DESTINY-CRC01 Phase II trial.

Another oral presentation will feature a pooled benefit-risk analysis from the DESTINY-Breast01, 02 and 03 trials of ENHERTU in patients with breast cancer aged 65 and older compared to those younger than 65.

Potential to transform outcomes across tumors by attacking cancer from multiple angles

A late-breaking oral presentation will feature interim progression-free survival (PFS) results from the DUO-O Phase III trial evaluating a combination of LYNPARZA® (olaparib), IMFINZI, chemotherapy and bevacizumab in newly diagnosed patients with advanced high-grade epithelial ovarian cancer without tumor BRCA mutations. In April, it was announced that DUO-O demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in PFS for this LYNPARZA and IMFINZI combination versus chemotherapy plus bevacizumab alone.

Data will be also shared from a post-hoc exploratory analysis of the SERENA-2 Phase II trial in patients with advanced ER-positive breast cancer who have disease recurrence or progression after endocrine therapy. The analysis will show PFS data for patients treated with next-generation selective estrogen receptor degrader (ngSERD) camizestrant versus fulvestrant based on the type of ESR1 mutation at baseline, detected via circulating tumor DNA. Previously presented primary results from SERENA-2 demonstrated PFS benefit with camizestrant irrespective of ESR1 mutation status or prior treatment with CDK4/6 inhibitors.

Data will also be shared from a matching-adjusted indirect comparison (MAIC) of the efficacy and safety of CALQUENCE® (acalabrutinib) versus zanubrutinib in relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia, based on data from the ASCEND and ALPINE Phase III trials.

In addition, interim Phase I results evaluating AZD0486 (TNB-486), a CD19/CD3 next-generation T-cell engager, will show the potential of targeting CD19 in heavily pretreated patients with follicular lymphoma.

Results from a Phase Ib/II dose escalation and expansion trial of the novel immunotherapy oleclumab in combination with IMFINZI and chemotherapy will also be presented in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer, including those with high levels of CD73 expression.

A poster discussion will feature health-related quality-of-life results from the PROpel Phase III trial of LYNPARZA plus abiraterone in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

Two presentations will focus on immune-mediated adverse events (imAEs) in the HIMALAYA Phase III trial of IMFINZI plus IMJUDO® (tremelimumab-actl) in 1st-line unresectable liver cancer, including an oral presentation on outcomes by imAE occurrence and a poster on temporal patterns of imAE occurrence.

Collaboration in the scientific community is critical to improving outcomes for patients. AstraZeneca is collaborating with Daiichi Sankyo Company Limited to develop and commercialize ENHERTU and datopotamab deruxtecan; with Merck & Co., Inc., known as MSD outside of the US and Canada, to develop and commercialize LYNPARZA. AstraZeneca obtained full oncology rights to monalizumab from Innate Pharma in October 2018 through a co-development and commercialization agreement initiated in 2015.

  • Interstitial lung disease (ILD) and pneumonitis, including fatal cases, have been reported with ENHERTU. Monitor for and promptly investigate signs and symptoms including cough, dyspnea, fever, and other new or worsening respiratory symptoms. Permanently discontinue ENHERTU in all patients with Grade 2 or higher ILD/pneumonitis. Advise patients of the risk and to immediately report symptoms.
  • Exposure to ENHERTU during pregnancy can cause embryo-fetal harm. Advise patients of these risks and the need for effective contraception.
 

Contraindications

None.

Warnings and Precautions

Interstitial Lung Disease / Pneumonitis

Severe, life-threatening, or fatal interstitial lung disease (ILD), including pneumonitis, can occur in patients treated with ENHERTU. A higher incidence of Grade 1 and 2 ILD/pneumonitis has been observed in patients with moderate renal impairment. Advise patients to immediately report cough, dyspnea, fever, and/or any new or worsening respiratory symptoms. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of ILD. Promptly investigate evidence of ILD. Evaluate patients with suspected ILD by radiographic imaging. Consider consultation with a pulmonologist. For asymptomatic ILD/pneumonitis (Grade 1), interrupt ENHERTU until resolved to Grade 0, then if resolved in ≤28 days from date of onset, maintain dose. If resolved in >28 days from date of onset, reduce dose one level. Consider corticosteroid treatment as soon as ILD/pneumonitis is suspected (e.g., ≥0.5 mg/kg/day prednisolone or equivalent). For symptomatic ILD/pneumonitis (Grade 2 or greater), permanently discontinue ENHERTU. Promptly initiate systemic corticosteroid treatment as soon as ILD/pneumonitis is suspected (e.g., ≥1 mg/kg/day prednisolone or equivalent) and continue for at least 14 days followed by gradual taper for at least 4 weeks.

Metastatic Breast Cancer and HER2-Mutant NSCLC (5.4 mg/kg)

In patients with metastatic breast cancer and HER2-mutant NSCLC treated with ENHERTU 5.4 mg/kg, ILD occurred in 12% of patients. Fatal outcomes due to ILD and/or pneumonitis occurred in 1.0% of patients treated with ENHERTU. Median time to first onset was 5 months (range: 0.9 to 23).

Locally Advanced or Metastatic Gastric Cancer (6.4 mg/kg)

In patients with locally advanced or metastatic HER2-positive gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma treated with ENHERTU 6.4 mg/kg, ILD occurred in 10% of patients. Median time to first onset was 2.8 months (range: 1.2 to 21).

Neutropenia

Severe neutropenia, including febrile neutropenia, can occur in patients treated with ENHERTU. Monitor complete blood counts prior to initiation of ENHERTU and prior to each dose, and as clinically indicated. For Grade 3 neutropenia (Absolute Neutrophil Count [ANC] <1.0 to 0.5 x 109/L), interrupt ENHERTU until resolved to Grade 2 or less, then maintain dose. For Grade 4 neutropenia (ANC <0.5 x 109/L), interrupt ENHERTU until resolved to Grade 2 or less, then reduce dose by one level. For febrile neutropenia (ANC <1.0 x 109/L and temperature >38.3º C or a sustained temperature of ≥38º C for more than 1 hour), interrupt ENHERTU until resolved, then reduce dose by one level.

Metastatic Breast Cancer and HER2-Mutant NSCLC (5.4 mg/kg)

In patients with metastatic breast cancer and HER2-mutant NSCLC treated with ENHERTU 5.4 mg/kg, a decrease in neutrophil count was reported in 65% of patients. Sixteen percent had Grade 3 or 4 decreased neutrophil count. Median time to first onset of decreased neutrophil count was 22 days (range: 2 to 664). Febrile neutropenia was reported in 1.1% of patients.

Locally Advanced or Metastatic Gastric Cancer (6.4 mg/kg)

In patients with locally advanced or metastatic HER2-positive gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma treated with ENHERTU 6.4 mg/kg, a decrease in neutrophil count was reported in 72% of patients. Fifty-one percent had Grade 3 or 4 decreased neutrophil count. Median time to first onset of decreased neutrophil count was 16 days (range: 4 to 187). Febrile neutropenia was reported in 4.8% of patients.

Left Ventricular Dysfunction

Patients treated with ENHERTU may be at increased risk of developing left ventricular dysfunction. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) decrease has been observed with anti-HER2 therapies, including ENHERTU. Assess LVEF prior to initiation of ENHERTU and at regular intervals during treatment as clinically indicated. Manage LVEF decrease through treatment interruption. When LVEF is >45% and absolute decrease from baseline is 10-20%, continue treatment with ENHERTU. When LVEF is 40-45% and absolute decrease from baseline is <10%, continue treatment with ENHERTU and repeat LVEF assessment within 3 weeks. When LVEF is 40-45% and absolute decrease from baseline is 10-20%, interrupt ENHERTU and repeat LVEF assessment within 3 weeks. If LVEF has not recovered to within 10% from baseline, permanently discontinue ENHERTU. If LVEF recovers to within 10% from baseline, resume treatment with ENHERTU at the same dose. When LVEF is <40% or absolute decrease from baseline is >20%, interrupt ENHERTU and repeat LVEF assessment within 3 weeks. If LVEF of <40% or absolute decrease from baseline of >20% is confirmed, permanently discontinue ENHERTU. Permanently discontinue ENHERTU in patients with symptomatic congestive heart failure. Treatment with ENHERTU has not been studied in patients with a history of clinically significant cardiac disease or LVEF <50% prior to initiation of treatment.

Metastatic Breast Cancer and HER2-Mutant NSCLC (5.4 mg/kg)

In patients with metastatic breast cancer and HER2-mutant NSCLC treated with ENHERTU 5.4 mg/kg, LVEF decrease was reported in 3.6% of patients, of which 0.4% were Grade 3.

Locally Advanced or Metastatic Gastric Cancer (6.4 mg/kg)

In patients with locally advanced or metastatic HER2-positive gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma treated with ENHERTU 6.4 mg/kg, no clinical adverse events of heart failure were reported; however, on echocardiography, 8% were found to have asymptomatic Grade 2 decrease in LVEF.

Embryo-Fetal Toxicity

ENHERTU can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Advise patients of the potential risks to a fetus. Verify the pregnancy status of females of reproductive potential prior to the initiation of ENHERTU. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment and for 7 months after the last dose of ENHERTU. Advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with ENHERTU and for 4 months after the last dose of ENHERTU.

Additional Dose Modifications

Thrombocytopenia

For Grade 3 thrombocytopenia (platelets <50 to 25 x 109/L) interrupt ENHERTU until resolved to Grade 1 or less, then maintain dose. For Grade 4 thrombocytopenia (platelets <25 x 109/L) interrupt ENHERTU until resolved to Grade 1 or less, then reduce dose by one level.

Use in Specific Populations

  • Pregnancy: ENHERTU can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Advise patients of the potential risks to a fetus. There are clinical considerations if ENHERTU is used in pregnant women, or if a patient becomes pregnant within 7 months after the last dose of ENHERTU.
  • Lactation: There are no data regarding the presence of ENHERTU in human milk, the effects on the breastfed child, or the effects on milk production. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in a breastfed child, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with ENHERTU and for 7 months after the last dose.
  • Females and Males of Reproductive Potential: Pregnancy testing: Verify pregnancy status of females of reproductive potential prior to initiation of ENHERTU. Contraception: Females: ENHERTU can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with ENHERTU and for 7 months after the last dose. Males: Advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with ENHERTU and for 4 months after the last dose. Infertility: ENHERTU may impair male reproductive function and fertility.
  • Pediatric Use: Safety and effectiveness of ENHERTU have not been established in pediatric patients.
  • Geriatric Use: Of the 883 patients with breast cancer treated with ENHERTU 5.4 mg/kg, 22% were ≥65 years and 3.6% were ≥75 years. No overall differences in efficacy within clinical studies were observed between patients ≥65 years of age compared to younger patients. There was a higher incidence of Grade 3-4 adverse reactions observed in patients aged ≥65 years (60%) as compared to younger patients (48%). Of the 101 patients with unresectable or metastatic HER2-mutant NSCLC treated with ENHERTU 5.4 mg/kg, 40% were ≥65 years and 8% were ≥75 years. No overall differences in efficacy or safety were observed between patients ≥65 years of age compared to younger patients. Of the 125 patients with locally advanced or metastatic HER2-positive gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma treated with ENHERTU 6.4 mg/kg in DESTINY-Gastric01, 56% were ≥65 years and 14% were ≥75 years. No overall differences in efficacy or safety were observed between patients ≥65 years of age compared to younger patients.
  • Renal Impairment: A higher incidence of Grade 1 and 2 ILD/pneumonitis has been observed in patients with moderate renal impairment. Monitor patients with moderate renal impairment more frequently. The recommended dosage of ENHERTU has not been established for patients with severe renal impairment (CLcr <30 mL/min).
  • Hepatic Impairment: In patients with moderate hepatic impairment, due to potentially increased exposure, closely monitor for increased toxicities related to the topoisomerase inhibitor. The recommended dosage of ENHERTU has not been established for patients with severe hepatic impairment (total bilirubin >3 times ULN and any AST).

Severe and Fatal Immune-Mediated Adverse Reactions

Important immune-mediated adverse reactions listed under Warnings and Precautions may not include all possible severe and fatal immune-mediated reactions. Immune-mediated adverse reactions, which may be severe or fatal, can occur in any organ system or tissue. Immune-mediated adverse reactions can occur at any time after starting treatment or after discontinuation. Monitor patients closely for symptoms and signs that may be clinical manifestations of underlying immune-mediated adverse reactions. Evaluate clinical chemistries including liver enzymes, creatinine, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) level, and thyroid function at baseline and before each dose. In cases of suspected immune-mediated adverse reactions, initiate appropriate workup to exclude alternative etiologies, including infection. Institute medical management promptly, including specialty consultation as appropriate. Withhold or permanently discontinue IMFINZI and IMJUDO depending on severity. See USPI Dosing and Administration for specific details. In general, if IMFINZI and IMJUDO requires interruption or discontinuation, administer systemic corticosteroid therapy (1 mg to 2 mg/kg/day prednisone or equivalent) until improvement to Grade 1 or less.
