Insights

The new clinical data from AstraZeneca, including Phase III trials for TAGRISSO® and IMFINZI®, highlights significant progress in treating lung and breast cancer. For retail investors, the potential market expansion due to these results is noteworthy. In particular, $10 billion in annual revenue could be driven by positive outcomes in early and metastatic cancer treatments.

The short-term impact includes potential stock price appreciation as market sentiment reacts positively to the trial results. Clearly, the company is advancing its goal to dominate oncology treatments, indicated by the extensive research and promising trial data.

Long-term implications involve increased market share and revenue stability. However, investors should stay cautious of regulatory risks and the significant competition within the oncology market.

Investors should understand terms like progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS), which refer to the length of time patients live without disease progression and the time from treatment until death, respectively. These metrics are important for assessing drug efficacy.

The results from the LAURA and ADRIATIC Phase III trials are particularly promising. TAGRISSO® showed a significant progression-free survival (PFS) benefit in patients with unresectable, Stage III EGFR-mutated NSCLC after chemoradiotherapy. This suggests a move towards more effective early-stage treatment, potentially altering treatment guidelines and improving patient outcomes.

IMFINZI® also demonstrated notable benefits in limited-stage small cell lung cancer (LS-SCLC), with clinically meaningful improvements in overall survival (OS). For the medical community, this indicates a shift from traditional chemotherapy to more targeted immunotherapy, improving survival rates and patient quality of life.

The data also highlights the potential for ENHERTU® in treating HR-positive, HER2-low and HER2-ultralow breast cancer, expanding the treatment landscape. Understanding these clinical indicators helps investors grasp the medical efficacy and potential adoption rates of these treatments.

AstraZeneca’s presentation at ASCO 2024 showcases the breadth of its oncology pipeline. The focus on novel therapies like datopotamab deruxtecan and the innovative CAR-T therapy highlights the company’s commitment to leading-edge cancer treatments.

Investors should note the emphasis on antibody drug conjugates (ADCs), which combine the targeting capabilities of antibodies with the cancer-killing ability of cytotoxic drugs. This approach is gaining traction due to its precision and reduced side effects compared to traditional chemotherapy.

The development of AZD5851 and collaboration with AbelZeta Pharmaceuticals for a CAR-T therapy targeting GPC3 in liver cancer demonstrates AstraZeneca's investment in next-generation therapies, potentially leading to substantial long-term revenue streams. Understanding these advanced treatment modalities and their market potential can help investors appreciate the company’s future growth prospects.

Back-to-back plenary presentations from LAURA and ADRIATIC Phase III trials reinforce the potential of TAGRISSO^® (osimertinib) and IMFINZI^® (durvalumab) in early lung cancer settings

DESTINY-Breast06 data underscore potential of ENHERTU^® (fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan-nxki) earlier in HR-positive, HER2-low breast cancer treatment, and in a broader population including HER2-ultralow

WILMINGTON, Del.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- AstraZeneca advances its ambition to redefine cancer care with new data across its industry-leading portfolio and pipeline at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting, May 31 to June 4, 2024.

More than 100 abstracts will feature 25 approved and potential new medicines across the Company’s diverse oncology portfolio and pipeline, including two late-breaking plenary presentations, a special late-breaking abstract session presentation and 15 oral presentations. Highlights include:

LAURA Phase III trial of TAGRISSO^® (osimertinib) in unresectable, Stage III epidermal growth factor receptor-mutated (EGFRm) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after chemoradiotherapy (CRT) (Plenary LBA4).
ADRIATIC Phase III trial of IMFINZI^® (durvalumab) in patients with limited-stage small cell lung cancer (LS-SCLC) who had not progressed following concurrent CRT (cCRT) (Plenary LBA5).
DESTINY-Breast06 Phase III trial of ENHERTU^® (fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan-nxki) in patients with metastatic hormone receptor (HR)-positive HER2-low and HER2-ultralow metastatic breast cancer following one or more lines of endocrine therapy (LBA1000).
First-in-human, investigator-initiated trial of C-CAR031, a novel autologous armored Glypican 3 (GPC3) targeting chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) therapy, in patients with liver cancer. The CAR-T is based on AZD5851, a novel cell therapy designed by AstraZeneca (Rapid Oral Abstract 4019).
Two late-breaking presentations from the externally sponsored I-SPY2.2 Phase II trial of neoadjuvant datopotamab deruxtecan (Dato-DXd), alone and in combination with IMFINZI, in patients with breast cancer (LBA501 and LBA509).

Dave Fredrickson, Executive Vice President, Oncology Business Unit, AstraZeneca, said: “Our plenary data at ASCO show the pioneering role of our medicines in curative-intent lung cancer treatment and highlight progress toward our continued ambition to have a medicine for more than half of all patients treated for lung cancer by 2030. The overwhelming efficacy in the LAURA trial will add to the extensive body of evidence for TAGRISSO in EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer, and the impressive survival data from ADRIATIC will show the potential of IMFINZI to transform outcomes in limited-stage small cell lung cancer.”

Susan Galbraith, Executive Vice President, Oncology R&D, AstraZeneca, said: “Data from our antibody drug conjugates at ASCO underscore the opportunity to replace traditional chemotherapy with these medicines for many patients as we expand their use to new populations. DESTINY-Breast06 results will demonstrate the potential to treat patients across a broader spectrum of HR-positive metastatic breast cancer with ENHERTU, including those with HER2-ultralow expression who have never had access to HER2-directed therapy before. We're also excited by the I-SPY2.2 efficacy and tolerability data for datopotamab deruxtecan plus IMFINZI, which will show the potential of combining antibody drug conjugates with immunotherapy in the early-stage setting.”

Transforming treatment expectations across earlier-stage lung cancer settings
Several presentations will reinforce the Company’s progress toward moving lung cancer treatment to earlier stages of disease. These include:

A late-breaking plenary presentation showcasing progression-free survival (PFS) results from the LAURA Phase III trial evaluating TAGRISSO in unresectable, Stage III EGFRm NSCLC after CRT. In February, high-level results showed a statistically significant and highly clinically meaningful PFS benefit for TAGRISSO in this setting.
A late-breaking plenary presentation highlighting overall survival (OS) and PFS results from the ADRIATIC Phase III trial of IMFINZI in patients with LS-SCLC who had not progressed following cCRT. In April, high-level results from an interim analysis showed a statistically significant and clinically meaningful OS and PFS benefit for IMFINZI in this setting.
An oral presentation of an analysis from the ADAURA Phase III trial of TAGRISSO in the adjuvant treatment of early-stage (IB, II and IIIA) EGFRm NSCLC, assessing the potential for circulating tumor DNA-based molecular residual disease to predict disease recurrence.
A rapid oral presentation of an exploratory analysis from the AEGEAN Phase III trial of IMFINZI-based treatment before and after surgery in patients with resectable early-stage (IIA-IIIB) NSCLC, evaluating efficacy in patients with N2 disease (cancer in the lymph nodes on the same side as the affected lung or between the lungs).
A poster presentation of updated OS, PFS and safety results from the COAST Phase II trial of IMFINZI in combination with novel immunotherapies oleclumab, an anti-CD73 monoclonal antibody, and monalizumab, an anti-NKG2A monoclonal antibody, in unresectable, Stage III NSCLC, supporting the PACIFIC-9 Phase III trial in this patient population.

In metastatic lung cancer, the Company will present data that underscore its commitment to extending the benefits of antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) to more patients. A poster presentation will share updated safety and efficacy results, including PD-L1 expression, from the TROPION-Lung02 Phase Ib trial of datopotamab deruxtecan plus pembrolizumab with or without platinum chemotherapy as 1st-line treatment for patients with advanced NSCLC without actionable genomic alterations. These data build on previously presented results from the TROPION-Lung-1 Phase III trial demonstrating the potential of this novel ADC in advanced disease. Datopotamab deruxtecan in combination with immunotherapies is being further explored in multiple Phase III trials in this setting, including AVANZAR, TROPION-Lung07 and TROPION-Lung08.

Redefining the breast cancer treatment landscape with ADCs across subtypes and stages of disease
A late-breaking presentation will showcase efficacy and safety outcomes from the DESTINY-Breast06 Phase III trial. In April, high-level results showed ENHERTU demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in PFS versus standard-of-care chemotherapy in patients with HR-positive, HER2-low metastatic breast cancer. A clinically meaningful PFS improvement was also seen in patients with HER2-ultralow expression.

An oral presentation will spotlight data from an interim analysis of the dose-expansion phase of the DESTINY-Breast07 Phase 1b/II trial assessing ENHERTU alone or in combination with pertuzumab as 1st-line treatment in HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer. These regimens are being further explored in the DESTINY-Breast09 Phase III clinical trial.

Additionally, a poster presentation will share updated OS and PFS results from the DESTINY-Breast03 Phase III trial of ENHERTU versus trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) in patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer previously treated with trastuzumab and a taxane.

An oral presentation will feature patient-reported outcomes data from the TROPION-Breast01 Phase III trial of datopotamab deruxtecan in patients with inoperable or metastatic HR-positive, HER2-low or negative breast cancer previously treated with endocrine-based therapy and at least one systemic therapy. Previously presented primary results from TROPION-Breast01 showed datopotamab deruxtecan demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in PFS versus investigator’s choice of chemotherapy.

Two late-breaking presentations of results from the externally sponsored I-SPY2.2 Phase II trial will highlight the rates of pathological complete response associated with neoadjuvant datopotamab deruxtecan, alone and in combination with IMFINZI, across breast cancer subtypes.

Advancing the next wave of medicines and combination therapies to attack cancer from multiple angles
A rapid oral presentation will spotlight safety and preliminary efficacy results from an investigator-initiated Trial of C-CAR031, a novel autologous armored Glypican 3 (GPC3) targeting chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) therapy that is being investigated for hepatocellular carcinoma. The CAR-T is based on AZD5851, a novel cell therapy designed by AstraZeneca using their transforming growth factor-beta receptor II (TGFβRII) dominant negative armoring platform and is manufactured by AbelZeta Pharmaceuticals Inc. C-CAR031 is being developed in China under a co-development agreement between AbelZeta and AstraZeneca. AstraZeneca’s TGFβRII dominant negative armoring is designed to resist the immuno-suppressive tumor microenvironment and enhance the potential effectiveness of CAR-Ts in solid tumors.

A rapid abstract update will feature updated efficacy data from a Phase I trial of AZD0901, a potential first-in-class ADC targeting Claudin 18.2, which has shown promise as a therapeutic target in gastric cancer. First results were presented at the ASCO Plenary Series 2023.

Additionally, a clinical science symposium presentation of the externally sponsored CAPRI Phase II trial will share efficacy and safety results for ceralasertib, an ataxia telangiectasia and rad3-related (ATR) kinase inhibitor, plus LYNPARZA (olaparib) in patients with platinum-sensitive recurrent high-grade serious ovarian cancer.

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, and with Merck & Co., Inc. (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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION FOR TAGRISSO^®(osimetinib)

There are no contraindications for TAGRISSO
Interstitial lung disease (ILD)/pneumonitis occurred in 4% of the 1813 TAGRISSO-treated patients; 0.4% of cases were fatal. In the FLAURA2 study, ILD/pneumonitis occurred in 3.3% of the 276 patients who received TAGRISSO in combination with pemetrexed and platinum-based chemotherapy; 0.4% of cases were fatal. Withhold TAGRISSO and promptly investigate for ILD in patients who present with worsening of respiratory symptoms which may be indicative of ILD (eg, dyspnea, cough and fever). Permanently discontinue TAGRISSO if ILD/pneumonitis is confirmed
Heart rate-corrected QT (QTc) interval prolongation occurs in TAGRISSO-treated patients. Of the 1813 TAGRISSO monotherapy-treated patients in clinical trials, 1.1% were found to have a QTc >500 msec, and 4.3% of patients had an increase from baseline QTc >60 msec. Of the 276 patients treated with TAGRISSO in combination with pemetrexed and platinum-based chemotherapy in the FLAURA2 study, 1.8% were found to have a QTc >500 msec, and 10.5% of patients had an increase from baseline QTc >60 msec. No QTc-related arrhythmias were reported. Conduct periodic monitoring with ECGs and electrolytes in patients with congenital long QTc syndrome, congestive heart failure, electrolyte abnormalities, or those who are taking medications known to prolong the QTc interval. Permanently discontinue TAGRISSO in patients who develop QTc interval prolongation with signs/symptoms of life-threatening arrhythmia
Cardiomyopathy occurred in 3.8% of the 1813 TAGRISSO-treated patients; 0.1% of cardiomyopathy cases were fatal. In the FLAURA2 study, cardiomyopathy occurred in 9% of the 276 patients who received TAGRISSO in combination with pemetrexed and platinum-based chemotherapy; 1.1% of cardiomyopathy cases were fatal. A decline in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥10% from baseline and to <50% LVEF occurred in 4.2% of 1557 patients who had baseline and at least one follow-up LVEF assessment.In the ADAURA study, 1.5% (5/325) of TAGRISSO-treated patients experienced LVEF decreases ≥10% from baseline and a drop to <50%. In the FLAURA2 study, 8% (21/262) of patients treated with TAGRISSO in combination with pemetrexed and platinum-based chemotherapy, who had baseline and at least one follow-up LVEF assessment, experienced LVEF decreases ≥10% and a drop to less than 50%. For patients receiving TAGRISSO monotherapy, conduct cardiac monitoring in patients with cardiac risk factors, including assessment of LVEF at baseline and during treatment. For patients receiving TAGRISSO in combination with pemetrexed and platinum-based chemotherapy, conduct cardiac monitoring in all patients, including assessment of LVEF at baseline and during treatment. Assess LVEF in patients who develop relevant cardiac signs or symptoms during treatment. For symptomatic congestive heart failure, permanently discontinue TAGRISSO
Keratitis was reported in 0.6% of 1813 patients treated with TAGRISSO monotherapy in clinical trials. Promptly refer patients with signs and symptoms suggestive of keratitis (such as eye inflammation, lacrimation, light sensitivity, blurred vision, eye pain and/or red eye) to an ophthalmologist
Postmarketing cases consistent with erythema multiforme major (EMM), Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) have been reported in patients receiving TAGRISSO. Withhold TAGRISSO if EMM, SJS, or TEN is suspected and permanently discontinue if confirmed
Postmarketing cases of cutaneous vasculitis including leukocytoclastic vasculitis, urticarial vasculitis, and IgA vasculitis have been reported in patients receiving TAGRISSO. Withhold TAGRISSO if cutaneous vasculitis is suspected, evaluate for systemic involvement, and consider dermatology consultation. If no other etiology can be identified, consider permanent discontinuation of TAGRISSO based on severity
Aplastic anemia has been reported in patients treated with TAGRISSO in clinical trials (0.06% of 1813) and postmarketing. Some cases had a fatal outcome. Inform patients of the signs and symptoms of aplastic anemia including but not limited to, new or persistent fevers, bruising, bleeding, and pallor. If aplastic anemia is suspected, withhold TAGRISSO and obtain a hematology consultation. If aplastic anemia is confirmed, permanently discontinue TAGRISSO. Perform complete blood count with differential before starting TAGRISSO, periodically throughout treatment, and more frequently if indicated
Verify pregnancy status of females of reproductive potential prior to initiating TAGRISSO. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with TAGRISSO and for 6 weeks after the final dose. Advise males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception for 4 months after the final dose
Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in breastfed infants from TAGRISSO, women should not breastfeed during treatment with TAGRISSO and for 2 weeks after the final dose
Most common (≥20%) adverse reactions, including laboratory abnormalities, were:
- TAGRISSO monotherapy: leukopenia, lymphopenia, thrombocytopenia, anemia, diarrhea, rash, musculoskeletal pain, neutropenia, nail toxicity, dry skin, stomatitis, and fatigue
- TAGRISSO in combination with pemetrexed and platinum-based chemotherapy: leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, lymphopenia, rash, diarrhea, stomatitis, nail toxicity, dry skin, and increased blood creatinine

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION FOR IMFINZI^® (durvalumab)

There are no contraindications for IMFINZI^® (durvalumab) or IMJUDO^® (tremelimumab-actl).

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. Upon improvement to Grade 1 or less, initiate corticosteroid taper and continue to taper over at least 1 month. Consider administration of other systemic immunosuppressants in patients whose immune-mediated adverse reactions are not controlled with corticosteroid therapy.

Immune-Mediated Pneumonitis
IMFINZI and IMJUDO can cause immune-mediated pneumonitis, which may be fatal. The incidence of pneumonitis is higher in patients who have received prior thoracic radiation.

IMFINZI as a Single Agent
- In patients who did not receive recent prior radiation, the incidence of immune-mediated pneumonitis was 2.4% (34/1414), including fatal (<0.1%), and Grade 3-4 (0.4%) adverse reactions. In patients who received recent prior radiation, the incidence of pneumonitis (including radiation pneumonitis) in patients with unresectable Stage III NSCLC following definitive chemoradiation within 42 days prior to initiation of IMFINZI in PACIFIC was 18.3% (87/475) in patients receiving IMFINZI and 12.8% (30/234) in patients receiving placebo. Of the patients who received IMFINZI (475), 1.1% were fatal and 2.7% were Grade 3 adverse reactions.
- The frequency and severity of immune-mediated pneumonitis in patients who did not receive definitive chemoradiation prior to IMFINZI were similar in patients who received IMFINZI as a single agent or with ES-SCLC or BTC when given in combination with chemotherapy.
IMFINZI with IMJUDO
- Immune‑mediated pneumonitis occurred in 1.3% (5/388) of patients receiving IMFINZI and IMJUDO, including fatal (0.3%) and Grade 3 (0.2%) adverse reactions.
IMFINZI with IMJUDO and Platinum-Based Chemotherapy
- Immune-mediated pneumonitis occurred in 3.5% (21/596) of patients receiving IMFINZI in combination with IMJUDO and platinum-based chemotherapy, including fatal (0.5%), and Grade 3 (1%) adverse reactions.

Immune-Mediated Colitis
IMFINZI with IMJUDO and platinum-based chemotherapy can cause immune-mediated colitis, which may be fatal.

IMFINZI and IMJUDO can cause immune-mediated colitis that is frequently associated with diarrhea. Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection/reactivation has been reported in patients with corticosteroid-refractory immune-mediated colitis. In cases of corticosteroid-refractory colitis, consider repeating infectious workup to exclude alternative etiologies.

IMFINZI as a Single Agent
- Immune-mediated colitis occurred in 2% (37/1889) of patients receiving IMFINZI, including Grade 4 (<0.1%) and Grade 3 (0.4%) adverse reactions.
IMFINZI with IMJUDO
- Immune‑mediated colitis or diarrhea occurred in 6% (23/388) of patients receiving IMFINZI and IMJUDO, including Grade 3 (3.6%) adverse reactions. Intestinal perforation has been observed in other studies of IMFINZI and IMJUDO.
IMFINZI with IMJUDO and Platinum-Based Chemotherapy
- Immune-mediated colitis occurred in 6.5% (39/596) of patients receiving IMFINZI in combination with IMJUDO and platinum-based chemotherapy including fatal (0.2%) and Grade 3 (2.5%) adverse reactions. Intestinal perforation and large intestine perforation were reported in 0.1% of patients.

Immune-Mediated Hepatitis
IMFINZI and IMJUDO can cause immune-mediated hepatitis, which may be fatal.

IMFINZI as a Single Agent
- Immune-mediated hepatitis occurred in 2.8% (52/1889) of patients receiving IMFINZI, including fatal (0.2%), Grade 4 (0.3%) and Grade 3 (1.4%) adverse reactions.

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.

WARNING: INTERSTITIAL LUNG DISEASE and EMBRYO-FETAL TOXICITY

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.

HER2-Positive or HER2-Low Metastatic Breast Cancer, HER2-Mutant NSCLC, and Solid Tumors (Including IHC 3+) (5.4 mg/kg)
In patients with metastatic breast cancer, HER2-mutant NSCLC, and other solid tumors treated with ENHERTU 5.4 mg/kg, ILD occurred in 12% of patients. Median time to first onset was 5.5 months (range: 0.9 to 31.5). Fatal outcomes due to ILD and/or pneumonitis occurred in 1.0% of patients treated with ENHERTU.

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.

HER2-Positive or HER2-Low Metastatic Breast Cancer, HER2-Mutant NSCLC, and Solid Tumors (Including IHC 3+) (5.4 mg/kg)
In patients with metastatic breast cancer, HER2-mutant NSCLC, and other solid tumors treated with ENHERTU 5.4 mg/kg, a decrease in neutrophil count was reported in 63% of patients. Seventeen percent had Grade 3 or 4 decreased neutrophil count. Median time to first onset of decreased neutrophil count was 22 days (range: 2 to 939). Febrile neutropenia was reported in 1% of patients.

HER2-Positive 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.

HER2-Positive 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 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. There was a higher incidence of Grade 3-4 adverse reactions observed in patients aged ≥65 years (59%) as compared to younger patients (49%). Of the 101 patients with HER2-mutant unresectable or metastatic 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 HER2-positive locally advanced or metastatic 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. Of the 192 patients with HER2-positive (IHC 3+) unresectable or metastatic solid tumors treated with ENHERTU 5.4 mg/kg in DESTINY-PanTumor02, DESTINY-Lung01, or DESTINY-CRC02, 39% were 65 years or older and 9% were 75 years or older. 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, DXd. The recommended dosage of ENHERTU has not been established for patients with severe hepatic impairment (total bilirubin >3 times ULN and any AST).
