Presidential Symposium will demonstrate how proprietary computational pathology biomarker for TROP2 enhances patient selection and potentially predicts patient outcomes in advanced lung cancer

Presidential Symposium for NIAGARA will highlight practice-changing impact of a perioperative IMFINZI® (durvalumab)-based regimen in bladder cancer

WILMINGTON, Del.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- AstraZeneca advances its ambition to revolutionize cancer care with new data across its diverse, industry-leading portfolio and pipeline at the IASLC 2024 World Conference on Lung Cancer (WCLC) hosted by the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer, September 7 to 10, 2024 and the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress, September 13 to 17, 2024.

Across the two meetings, more than 130 abstracts will feature 17 approved and potential new medicines from AstraZeneca including five Presidential Symposia and 41 oral presentations.

Susan Galbraith, Executive Vice President, Oncology R&D, AstraZeneca, said: “The presentations across these two congresses advance our long-term strategy to revolutionize cancer care. We will show results from our computational pathology platform at WCLC which we are using across our antibody drug conjugate portfolio to develop predictive biomarkers to enhance patient selection and improve outcomes for patients. We will also share data on the use of our TROP2 antibody drug conjugate datopotamab deruxtecan in combination with IMFINZI in early-stage lung cancer, a promising first look at clinical activity from two of our own pipeline antibody drug conjugates and important progress for our next-generation immunotherapies.”

Dave Fredrickson, Executive Vice President, Oncology Business Unit, AstraZeneca, said: “Our data featured at WCLC and ESMO will exhibit AstraZeneca’s progress in advancing several of the biggest trends transforming cancer treatment today and potentially in the future. Positive results for IMFINZI from the NIAGARA trial in muscle-invasive bladder cancer will show the importance of integrating perioperative immunotherapy in this setting, and data for datopotamab deruxtecan and ENHERTU in several lung cancer settings will highlight how antibody drug conjugates have the potential to replace traditional chemotherapy approaches in many cancer settings.”

Key trend: early intervention and transforming outcomes in early-stage disease

A Presidential Symposium at ESMO will showcase the results from the NIAGARA Phase III trial of IMFINZI® (durvalumab) in combination with neoadjuvant chemotherapy before cystectomy (surgery to remove the bladder) followed by IMFINZI as adjuvant monotherapy in patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer. High-level results for this IMFINZI-based regimen showed a statistically significant and clinically meaningful event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) benefit, making it the first perioperative immunotherapy regimen to show extended survival in bladder cancer in a Phase III trial.

In lung cancer, several presentations at both meetings will reinforce the Company’s progress toward moving treatment to earlier stages of disease. These include:

  • A late-breaking Presidential Symposium at WCLC that will feature efficacy and safety data from the NeoCOAST-2 Phase II platform trial. This trial evaluates IMFINZI in multiple novel combinations, before and after surgery, in patients with resectable, early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), including a combination with datopotamab deruxtecan (Dato-DXd). Results will build on the proven efficacy of perioperative IMFINZI as demonstrated in the AEGEAN Phase III trial, which was recently approved in the US.
  • A late-breaking oral presentation at WCLC sharing results from the second interim analysis of the AEGEAN Phase III trial of perioperative IMFINZI-based treatment in patients with resectable early-stage (IIA-IIIB) NSCLC. The data include EFS in subgroups of patients who did or did not achieve pathologic complete response, as well as new disease-free survival and OS results. An additional late-breaking oral presentation at ESMO sharing AEGEAN circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) data will provide insights on how patients respond to treatment.
  • A late-breaking mini-oral presentation at WCLC highlighting patient-reported outcomes from the ADRIATIC Phase III trial of IMFINZI in patients with limited-stage small cell lung cancer whose disease did not progress on concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CRT). Additionally, an oral presentation at ESMO will share outcomes in key patient subgroups.
  • A mini-oral presentation at ESMO of results from the LAURA Phase III trial including analyses of central nervous system metastases and distant progression with TAGRISSO® (osimertinib) in unresectable, Stage III EGFRm NSCLC after CRT. Additional data from LAURA will include a safety analysis at WCLC and a poster presentation at ESMO of efficacy and safety results in a cohort of patients in China.

Key trend: novel ADCs replacing systemic chemotherapy

A late-breaking Presidential Symposium at WCLC of exploratory results from the application of AstraZeneca’s proprietary computational pathology platform, quantitative continuous scoring (QCS), to tissue samples collected in TROPION-Lung01 will demonstrate the potential of TROP2, as measured by QCS, as a predictive biomarker for datopotamab deruxtecan.

Additionally, a late-breaking oral presentation will showcase OS data from the TROPION-Lung01 Phase III trial evaluating datopotamab deruxtecan in patients with previously treated locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC. In May, high-level results showed that datopotamab deruxtecan demonstrated a clinically meaningful OS improvement versus docetaxel, the current standard-of-care chemotherapy, in patients with advanced nonsquamous NSCLC previously treated with immunotherapy or targeted therapy.

Also, at WCLC, an oral presentation will highlight efficacy and safety data from Part 1 of the DESTINY-Lung03 Phase Ib trial of ENHERTU® (fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan-nxki) in patients with previously treated HER2-overexpressing unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC, building on data from the DESTINY-Lung01 Phase II trial.

At ESMO, a late-breaking oral presentation from the DESTINY-Breast12 Phase IIIb/IV trial of ENHERTU in patients with previously treated metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer with and without brain metastases will showcase the potential benefits of this important medicine in this patient population. Additionally, an oral presentation of the DESTINY-Gastric03 Phase Ib/II trial will feature safety and efficacy data for the combination of ENHERTU, chemotherapy and pembrolizumab as a 1st-line treatment in HER2-positive gastric and gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) cancers.

A mini-oral presentation at ESMO will highlight first results from the endometrial and ovarian cancer cohorts of the TROPION-PanTumor03 Phase II trial of datopotamab deruxtecan.

Several presentations at ESMO will showcase the strength of the Company’s emerging proprietary antibody drug conjugate (ADC) technology. These include:

  • A proffered paper presentation sharing dose escalation results from the BLUESTAR Phase I/IIa trial of B7-H4 ADC AZD8205 in patients with B7-H4-expressing advanced solid tumors. B7-H4 is a promising ADC target which is highly expressed in several solid tumors. AZD8205 is the first ADC bearing a novel proprietary topoisomerase I inhibitor (TOP1i) linker payload to enter the clinic. Robust AZD8205 anti-tumor response has previously been reported in B7-H4-expressing preclinical models across multiple tumor types.
  • A poster presentation sharing dose escalation results from the FONTANA Phase I/IIa first-in-human trial of AZD5335 demonstrating clinical activity, favorable pharmacokinetic and manageable safety profiles in patients with platinum-resistant recurrent ovarian cancer. This ADC has a FRα-targeting antibody linked to a proprietary TOP1i warhead. A robust anti-tumor response has previously been reported in FRα-expressing preclinical models that are resistant to another FRα ADC with a microtubule inhibitor warhead.

Key trend: advancing next wave of immunotherapy agents

Several presentations will underscore the Company’s commitment to advancing its comprehensive bispecific antibody program:

  • A poster presentation sharing the first report of overall response rate and safety data from Substudy 2 of the GEMINI-Gastric Phase II trial, testing rilvegostomig (AZD2936), a PD-1/TIGIT bispecific immune checkpoint inhibitor, plus chemotherapy as a 1st-line treatment in patients with HER2-negative, locally advanced unresectable or metastatic GEJ cancers.
  • Additionally, two late-breaking oral presentations at WCLC will highlight efficacy and safety results from the ARTEMIDE-01 Phase I trial of rilvegostomig in patients with metastatic NSCLC, as well as from a Phase Ib/II trial of volrustomig (PD-1/CTLA-4) in combination with chemotherapy in the 1st-line for patients with advanced NSCLC.

Key trend: powerful combinations to attack cancer from multiple angles

In addition to the novel regimens evaluated in DESTINY-Lung03, DESTINY-Gastric03 and NeoCOAST-2, we are assessing further combination treatment approaches below to improve outcomes for patients:

  • A late-breaking, Presidential Symposium presentation for TAGRISSO from the externally sponsored FLOWERS Phase II trial of TAGRISSO with or without savolitinib in patients with EGFRm advanced NSCLC with MET aberrations will evaluate the potential of this novel combination to overcome mechanisms of resistance in the 1st-line setting.
  • Two late-breaking mini-oral presentations at WCLC will highlight new data from the FLAURA2 Phase III trial of TAGRISSO plus chemotherapy in advanced EGFRm NSCLC, including efficacy in patients with high tumor burden and those whose cancers harbour TP53 mutations at baseline.
  • A mini-oral presentation featuring five-year OS data from an exploratory analysis of the HIMALAYA Phase III trial of STRIDE (Single Tremelimumab-actl Regular Interval Durvalumab) in patients with unresectable liver cancer who have not received prior systemic therapy and are not eligible for localized treatment. These data represent the longest survival follow-up reported to date for a Phase III trial in this setting.

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, collaborating with Merck & Co., Inc. (known as MSD outside the US and Canada) to develop and commercialize LYNPARZA® (olaparib), and collaborating with HUTCHMED to develop and commercialize savolitinib. Rilvegostomig is a PD-1/TIGIT bispecific antibody where the TIGIT component is derived from Compugen’s clinical stage anti-TIGIT antibody, COM902. AstraZeneca obtained full oncology rights to monalizumab from Innate Pharma in October 2018 through a co-development and commercialisation agreement initiated in 2015.

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.

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 1287 patients with HER2-positive or HER2-low breast cancer treated with ENHERTU 5.4 mg/kg, 22% were ≥65 years and 3.8% were ≥75 years. No overall differences in efficacy within clinical studies were observed between patients ≥65 years of age compared to younger patients.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION FOR LYNPARZA® (olaparib)

CONTRAINDICATIONS

There are no contraindications for LYNPARZA.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

Myelodysplastic Syndrome/Acute Myeloid Leukemia (MDS/AML): Occurred in approximately 1.2% of patients with various BRCAm, gBRCAm, HRR gene-mutated or HRD-positive cancers who received LYNPARZA as a single agent or as part of a combination regimen, consistent with the approved indications, and the majority of events had a fatal outcome. The median duration of therapy in patients who developed MDS/AML was approximately 2 years (range: <6 months to >4 years). All of these patients had previous chemotherapy with platinum agents and/or other DNA-damaging agents, including radiotherapy.

In SOLO-1, patients with newly diagnosed advanced BRCAm ovarian cancer, the incidence of MDS/AML was 1.9% (5/260) in patients who received LYNPARZA and 0.8% (1/130) in patients who received placebo based on an updated analysis. In PAOLA-1, of patients with newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer with HRD-positive status, the incidence of MDS/AML was 1.6% (4/255) in patients who received LYNPARZA and 2.3% (3/131) in the control arm.

In SOLO-2, patients with BRCAm platinum-sensitive relapsed ovarian cancer, the incidence of MDS/AML was 8% (15/195) in patients who received LYNPARZA and 4% (4/99) in patients who received placebo. The duration of LYNPARZA treatment prior to the diagnosis of MDS/AML ranged from 0.6 years to 4.5 years.

Do not start LYNPARZA until patients have recovered from hematological toxicity caused by previous chemotherapy (≤Grade 1). Monitor complete blood count for cytopenia at baseline and monthly thereafter for clinically significant changes during treatment. For prolonged hematological toxicities, interrupt LYNPARZA and monitor blood count weekly until recovery.

If the levels have not recovered to Grade 1 or less after 4 weeks, refer the patient to a hematologist for further investigations, including bone marrow analysis and blood sample for cytogenetics. Discontinue LYNPARZA if MDS/AML is confirmed.

Pneumonitis: Occurred in 0.8% of patients exposed to LYNPARZA monotherapy, and some cases were fatal. If patients present with new or worsening respiratory symptoms such as dyspnea, cough, and fever, or a radiological abnormality occurs, interrupt LYNPARZA treatment and initiate prompt investigation. Discontinue LYNPARZA if pneumonitis is confirmed and treat patient appropriately.

Venous Thromboembolism (VTE): Including severe or fatal pulmonary embolism (PE) occurred in patients treated with LYNPARZA. In the combined data of two randomized, placebo-controlled clinical studies (PROfound and PROpel) in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (N=1180), VTE occurred in 8% of patients who received LYNPARZA, including pulmonary embolism in 6%. In the control arms, VTE occurred in 2.5%, including pulmonary embolism in 1.5%. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, and treat as medically appropriate, which may include long-term anticoagulation as clinically indicated.

Embryo-Fetal Toxicity: Based on its mechanism of action and findings in animals, LYNPARZA can cause fetal harm. Verify pregnancy status in females of reproductive potential prior to initiating treatment.

Females

Advise females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus and to use effective contraception during treatment and for 6 months following the last dose.

Males

Advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential or who are pregnant to use effective contraception during treatment and for 3 months following the last dose of LYNPARZA and to not donate sperm during this time.

DRUG INTERACTIONS

Anticancer Agents: Clinical studies of LYNPARZA with other myelosuppressive anticancer agents, including DNA-damaging agents, indicate a potentiation and prolongation of myelosuppressive toxicity.

CYP3A Inhibitors: Avoid coadministration of strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitors when using LYNPARZA. If a strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitor must be coadministered, reduce the dose of LYNPARZA. Advise patients to avoid grapefruit, grapefruit juice, Seville oranges, and Seville orange juice during LYNPARZA treatment.

CYP3A Inducers: Avoid coadministration of strong or moderate CYP3A inducers when using LYNPARZA.

USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS

Lactation: No data are available regarding the presence of olaparib in human milk, its effects on the breastfed infant or on milk production. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in the breastfed infant, advise a lactating woman not to breastfeed during treatment with LYNPARZA and for 1 month after receiving the final dose.

Pediatric Use: The safety and efficacy of LYNPARZA have not been established in pediatric patients.

Hepatic Impairment: No adjustment to the starting dose is required in patients with mild or moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh classification A and B). There are no data in patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh classification C).

Renal Impairment: No dosage modification is recommended in patients with mild renal impairment (CLcr 51-80 mL/min estimated by Cockcroft-Gault). In patients with moderate renal impairment (CLcr 31-50 mL/min), reduce the dose of LYNPARZA to 200 mg twice daily. There are no data in patients with severe renal impairment or end-stage renal disease (CLcr ≤30 mL/min).
