1. Indications
HER2-Positive Early Breast Cancer
ENHERTU (trastuzumab deruxtecan for injection) as monotherapy is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with high risk HER2-positive (IHC 3+ or ISH+) breast cancer who have residual invasive disease after neoadjuvant taxane-based chemotherapy and HER2-targeted treatment (trastuzumab-based treatment) (see 14 Clinical Trials).
HER2-Positive Metastatic Breast Cancer
ENHERTU as monotherapy is indicated for:
the treatment of adult patients with unresectable or metastatic human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer who have received at least one prior anti-HER2-based regimen either
- in the metastatic setting, or
- in the neoadjuvant or adjuvant setting and developed disease recurrence during or within 6 months of completing neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy.
- the treatment of adult patients with unresectable or metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer who have received prior treatment with trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1).
HER2-Low and HER2-Ultralow Breast Cancer
ENHERTU as monotherapy is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with unresectable or metastatic:
- hormone receptor (HR)-positive, HER2-low (IHC 1+ or IHC 2+/ISH-) or HER2-ultralow (IHC 0 with membrane staining) breast cancer who have received at least one endocrine therapy in the metastatic setting and are not considered suitable for endocrine therapy as the next line of treatment.
HER2-low (IHC 1+ or IHC 2+/ISH-) breast cancer who have received at least one prior line of chemotherapy in the metastatic setting or developed disease recurrence during or within 6 months of completing adjuvant chemotherapy.
- Patients with hormone receptor positive (HR+) breast cancer should have received at least one and be no longer considered eligible for endocrine therapy.
HER2-Positive Gastric and Gastroesophageal Junction Cancer
ENHERTU as monotherapy is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic HER2-positive gastric or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma who have received a prior trastuzumab-based regimen.
HER2-Positive (IHC 3+) Solid Tumours
ENHERTU as monotherapy is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with unresectable or metastatic HER2-positive (IHC 3+) solid tumours who have received prior systemic treatment and have no satisfactory alternative treatment options.
Marketing authorization with conditions was based on confirmed objective response rate (ORR) and duration of response (DOR) from three single-arm studies (see 14 Clinical Trials). An improvement in survival has not yet been established.

4. Dosage and Administration
4.1. Dosing Considerations
There is a risk of medication errors between ENHERTU (trastuzumab deruxtecan) and trastuzumab or trastuzumab emtansine. In order to prevent medicinal product errors, it is important to check the vial labels to ensure that the medicinal product being prepared and administered is ENHERTU (trastuzumab deruxtecan) and not trastuzumab or trastuzumab emtansine.
HER2-Positive Breast Cancer
ENHERTU should only be used in patients with documented HER2-positive tumour status (immunohistochemistry [IHC] 3+ or in-situ hybridization [ISH] positive tumour status) (see 14 Clinical Trials).
HER2-Low or HER2-Ultralow Breast Cancer
ENHERTU should only be used in patients with documented HER2-low tumour status (IHC 1+ or IHC 2+ / ISH negative tumour status), or HER2-ultralow tumour status (IHC 0 with membrane staining (IHC >0<1+) tumour status) based on validated assays (see 14 Clinical Trials).
Unclassified / Non classifié
HER2-Positive Gastric and Gastroesophageal Junction Cancer
ENHERTU should only be used in patients with documented HER2-positive tumour status (see 14 Clinical Trials).
HER2-Positive (IHC 3+) Solid Tumours
ENHERTU should only be used in patients with documented HER2-positive (IHC 3+) tumour status (see 14 Clinical Trials).
Premedication
ENHERTU is emetogenic, which includes delayed nausea and/or vomiting (see 8 Adverse Reactions). Prior to each dose of ENHERTU, patients should be premedicated with a combination regimen of two or three medicinal products (e.g., dexamethasone with either a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist and/or an NK1 receptor antagonist, as well as other medicinal products as indicated) for prevention of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting per institutional guidelines.

Special Populations
Pediatrics (<18 years of age): The safety and efficacy in children and adolescents below 18 years of age have not been established as there is no relevant use in the pediatric population.
Geriatrics (≥65 years of age): No dose adjustment of ENHERTU is required in patients aged 65 years or older.
Renal Impairment: No dose adjustment is required in patients with mild (creatinine clearance [CrCL] ≥60 and <90 mL/min) or moderate (CrCL ≥30 and <60 mL/min) renal impairment at baseline. A higher incidence of adverse events leading to dosage discontinuation (including ILD) has been observed in patients with moderate renal impairment. Patients with moderate renal impairment should be monitored carefully for adverse reactions including ILD/pneumonitis (see 7 Warnings and Precautions, Respiratory). Limited data are available in patients with severe renal impairment.
Hepatic Impairment: No dose adjustment is required in patients with mild (total bilirubin ≤ upper limit of normal [ULN] and any aspartate aminotransferase [AST] >ULN or total bilirubin >1 to 1.5 times ULN and any AST) hepatic impairment at baseline. There are limited data to make
Unclassified / Non classifié a recommendation on dose adjustment in patients with moderate (total bilirubin >1.5 to 3 times ULN and any AST) hepatic impairment, as there was a limited number of patients enrolled in the ENHERTU clinical trials. In patients with moderate hepatic impairment, due to potentially increased exposure, closely monitor for increased toxicities related to the topoisomerase inhibitor. No data are available in patients with severe (total bilirubin >3 times ULN and any AST) hepatic impairment.
4.3. Reconstitution
- ENHERTU does not contain preservative. Reconstitute immediately before dilution.
- More than one vial may be needed for a full dose. Calculate the dose (mg), the total volume of reconstituted ENHERTU solution required, and the number of vial(s) of ENHERTU needed.
- Reconstitute each 100 mg vial using a sterile syringe to slowly inject 5 mL of sterile water for injection into each vial to obtain a final concentration of 20 mg/mL.
- Swirl the vial gently until completely dissolved. Do not shake.
- If not used immediately, in-use storage times and conditions prior to use are the responsibility of the user and would normally not be longer than 24 hours at 2°C to 8°C.
- If reconstitution takes place in controlled and validated aseptic conditions, the reconstituted ENHERTU vials may be stored in a refrigerator at 2°C to 8°C for up to 48 hours from the time of reconstitution, protected from light. Do not freeze (see 11 Storage, Stability, and Disposal). Discard unused ENHERTU vials after 48 hours of refrigeration.
Table 4 – Reconstitution
| Vial Size | Volume of Diluent To Be Added to Vial | Approximate Available Volume | Concentration Per mL |
| 100 mg | 5 mL | 5 mL | 20 mg/mL |
Instructions for Dilution
Calculation to determine the volume of reconstituted ENHERTU (mL) to be further diluted:

- Withdraw the calculated amount from the vial(s) using a sterile syringe. Inspect the reconstituted solution for particulates and discolouration. The solution should be clear and colourless to light yellow. Do not use if visible particles are observed or if the solution is cloudy or discoloured.
- Dilute the calculated volume of reconstituted ENHERTU in an infusion bag containing 100 mL of 5% dextrose solution. Do NOT use sodium chloride solution. An infusion bag made of polyvinylchloride or polyolefin (copolymer of ethylene and polypropylene) is recommended.
- Gently invert the infusion bag to thoroughly mix the solution. Do not shake.
- Cover the infusion bag to protect from light.
If not used immediately, store at room temperature for up to 4 hours including preparation and infusion or in a refrigerator at 2°C to 8°C for up to 24 hours, protected from light. Do not
Unclassified / Non classifié
- freeze (see 11 Storage, Stability, and Disposal). Discard if storage time exceeds these limits.
- Discard any unused portion left in the vial.
4.4. Administration
Do not replace ENHERTU with trastuzumab or trastuzumab emtansine.
The initial dose should be administered as a 90-minute intravenous infusion. If the prior infusion was well tolerated, subsequent doses of ENHERTU may be administered as 30-minute infusions.
The infusion rate of ENHERTU should be slowed or interrupted if the patient develops infusion-related symptoms. ENHERTU should be permanently discontinued in case of severe infusion-related reactions.
ENHERTU is for intravenous use. It must be reconstituted and diluted by a healthcare professional and administered as an intravenous infusion. Administer ENHERTU as an intravenous infusion only with a 0.20 or 0.22 micron in line polyethersulfone (PES) or polysulfone (PS) filter. ENHERTU must NOT be administered as an intravenous push or bolus.
If the prepared infusion solution was stored refrigerated (2°C to 8°C), it is recommended that the solution be allowed to equilibrate to room temperature prior to administration protected from light.
Do not mix ENHERTU with other medicinal products or administer other medicinal products through the same intravenous line.
See 12 Special Handling Instructions for additional recommendations.
4.5. Missed Dose
If a planned dose is delayed or missed, it should be administered as soon as possible without waiting until the next planned cycle. The schedule of administration should be adjusted to maintain a 3-week interval between doses. The infusion should be administered at the dose and rate the patient tolerated in the most recent infusion.
5. Overdose
There is limited information on overdose with trastuzumab deruxtecan. In clinical studies, the highest dose administered was 8.0 mg/kg. Incidence of severe adverse events appeared higher in patients administered doses higher than the recommended dose. In the event of overdose, patients should be monitored, and appropriate supportive care should be given. There is no antidote for trastuzumab deruxtecan.

7. Warnings and Precautions
Please see 3 Serious Warnings and Precautions Box.
Cardiovascular
Left Ventricular Dysfunction
Patients treated with ENHERTU may be at increased risk of developing left ventricular dysfunction (LVD). LVD has been observed with anti-HER2 therapies, including ENHERTU (see 8 Adverse Reactions).
Treatment with ENHERTU has not been studied in patients with a history of clinically significant cardiac disease or left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) less than 50% prior to initiation of treatment.
LVEF should be assessed prior to initiation of ENHERTU and at regular intervals during treatment as clinically indicated. LVEF decrease should be managed through treatment interruption. ENHERTU should be permanently discontinued if LVEF of less than 40% or absolute decrease from baseline of greater than 20% is confirmed. ENHERTU should be permanently discontinued in patients with symptomatic congestive heart failure (CHF) (see 4 Dosage and Administration, Table 3).
Driving and Operating Machinery
ENHERTU may impair the ability to drive and use machines as adverse reactions including fatigue, headache and dizziness have been reported. Exercise caution when driving or operating a vehicle or potentially dangerous machinery.
Hematologic
Anemia/Thrombocytopenia
In patients with gastric cancer treated with ENHERTU 6.4 mg/kg, anemia and thrombocytopenia requiring transfusion were reported in clinical studies (see 8 Adverse Reactions). Transfusions were primarily for anemia. Based on the severity of thrombocytopenia, ENHERTU may require dose interruption or reduction (see 4 Dosage and Administration, Table 3).
Neutropenia
Cases of neutropenia, including febrile neutropenia, were reported in clinical studies of ENHERTU.
Complete blood counts should be monitored prior to initiation of ENHERTU and prior to each dose, and as clinically indicated. Based on the severity of neutropenia, ENHERTU may require dose interruption or reduction (see 4 Dosage and Administration, Table 3).
| Route of Administration | Dosage Form/ Strength/Composition | Non-Medicinal Ingredients |
| Intravenous infusion | Powder for concentrate for solution for infusion/100 mg/vial | L-histidine, L-histidine hydrochloride monohydrate, polysorbate 80, sucrose |
Unclassified / Non classifié
Immune
Infusion-Related Reactions
Cases of infusion-related reactions (IRRs), including a serious case of hypersensitivity were reported in clinical studies of ENHERTU (see 8.3 Less Common Clinical Trial Adverse Reactions). ENHERTU has not been studied in patients with a history of severe hypersensitivity reactions to other monoclonal antibodies.
Patients should be monitored for IRRs. ENHERTU may require dose interruption or discontinuation, based on the severity of the IRR (see 4 Dosage and Administration).
Race
In clinical studies, no relevant differences in exposure or efficacy were observed between patients of different ethnic groups. The following differences in safety were noted in the Asian population: Asian patients (328 (60.1%) subjects in pool) with gastric cancer receiving ENHERTU 6.4 mg/kg had a higher incidence (≥10% difference) of neutropenia (61.9% vs. 36.2%), anaemia (61.6% vs. 41.7%), leukopenia (50.3% vs. 13.3%), and thrombocytopenia (47.3% vs. 17.9%) compared to non-Asian patients (218 (39.9%) subjects in pool). In Asian patients, 3.4% experienced a bleeding event within 14 days after onset of thrombocytopenia compared to 0.5% of non-Asian patients. A total of 73 (22.3%) of Asian patients received a transfusion within 28 days after onset of anemia or thrombocytopenia compared to 32 (14.7%) of non-Asian patients.
Asian patients (130 (41.8%) subjects in pool) with HER2-positive (IHC 3+) solid tumours receiving ENHERTU 5.4 mg/kg had a higher incidence (≥10% difference) of neutropenia (36.2% vs. 12.9%) and platelet count decreased (25.4% vs. 9.6%) compared to non-Asian patients (178 (58.2%) subjects in pool).
Asian patients (681 (39.1%) subjects in pool) with unresectable or metastatic breast cancer receiving ENHERTU 5.4 mg/kg had a higher incidence (≥10% difference) of neutropenia (44.5% vs. 30.5%), leukopenia (34.8% vs. 16.7%) and thrombocytopenia (30.8% vs. 18.5%) compared to White patients (878 (50.4%) subjects in pool).
Reproductive Health
Fertility
No fertility studies in women and men have been conducted with ENHERTU. Based on results from animal toxicity studies, ENHERTU may impair male reproductive function and fertility (see 16 Non-Clinical Toxicology).
Teratogenic Risk
ENHERTU can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Exposure to ENHERTU to a pregnant woman should be avoided (see 7.1.1 Pregnancy).
Pregnancy status of females of reproductive potential should be verified prior to initiation of ENHERTU (see 7.1 Special Populations).
Female patients of reproductive potential should be informed of the potential risks to the fetus. Female patients of reproductive potential should be advised to use effective contraception during treatment with ENHERTU and for at least 7 months following the last dose (see 7.1 Special Populations).
Unclassified / Non classifié
Male patients with female partners of reproductive potential should be advised to use effective contraception during treatment with ENHERTU and for at least 4 months following the last dose.
It is not known whether trastuzumab deruxtecan or its metabolites are found in seminal fluid. Before starting treatment, male patients should be advised to seek counseling on sperm storage. Male patients must not freeze or donate sperm throughout the treatment period, and for at least 4 months after the final dose of ENHERTU.
Respiratory
Interstitial Lung Disease/Pneumonitis
Cases of interstitial lung disease (ILD), and/or pneumonitis, have been reported with ENHERTU (see 8 Adverse Reactions). Fatal outcomes have been observed.
ILD was more frequently reported in patients with moderate renal impairment (CrCL ≥30 and <60 mL/min) at baseline (see 8 Adverse Reactions).
Patients should be advised to immediately report cough, dyspnea, fever, and/or any new or worsening respiratory symptoms. Patients should be monitored for signs and symptoms of ILD/pneumonitis. Evidence of ILD/pneumonitis should be promptly investigated. Patients with suspected ILD should be evaluated by radiographic imaging. Consultation with a pulmonologist should be considered. For asymptomatic (Grade 1) ILD/pneumonitis, consider corticosteroid treatment (e.g. >0.5 mg/kg/day prednisolone or equivalent). ENHERTU should be withheld until recovery to Grade 0 and may be resumed according to instructions in Table 3 (see 4 Dosage and Administration). For symptomatic ILD/pneumonitis (Grade 2 or greater), promptly initiate systemic corticosteroid treatment (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. ENHERTU should be permanently discontinued in patients who are diagnosed with symptomatic (Grade 2 or greater) ILD/pneumonitis (see 4 Dosage and Administration). Patients with a history of ILD/pneumonitis or patients with moderate or severe renal impairment may be at increased risk of developing ILD/pneumonitis and should be monitored carefully (see 4 Dosage and Administration).
7.1. Special Populations
7.1.1. Pregnancy
ENHERTU can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. There are no available data on the use of ENHERTU in pregnant women. However, in post marketing reports, use of trastuzumab, a HER2 receptor antagonist, during pregnancy resulted in cases of oligohydramnios manifesting as fatal pulmonary hypoplasia, skeletal abnormalities, and neonatal death. Based on findings in animals and its mechanism of action, the topoisomerase I inhibitor component of ENHERTU can also cause embryo fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman (see 16 Non-Clinical Toxicology).
ENHERTU should not be administered to pregnant women and patients should be informed of the potential risks to the fetus before they become pregnant. If a patient becomes pregnant during treatment with ENHERTU or within 7 months following the last dose of ENHERTU, the patient must immediately contact her doctor and should be apprised of the possibility of harm to the fetus. See 7 Warnings and Precautions, Reproductive Health for recommendations on pregnancy test and contraception.
Unclassified / Non classifié
7.1.2. Breastfeeding
There are no data regarding the presence of ENHERTU in human milk. As human IgG is excreted in human milk, ENHERTU, a humanized IgG1 conjugated to deruxtecan (see 13 Pharmaceutical Information), may be excreted in human milk. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in breastfeeding infants, women should discontinue breastfeeding prior to initiating treatment with ENHERTU. Women may begin breastfeeding 7 months after concluding treatment.
7.1.3. Pediatrics
Pediatrics (< 18 years of age): No data are available to Health Canada; therefore, Health Canada has not authorized an indication for pediatric use.
7.1.4. Geriatrics
Of the 4146 patients in clinical studies across multiple tumour types treated with ENHERTU 5.4 mg/kg, 946 (22.8%) patients were 65 years or older and 186 (4.5%) patients were 75 years or older. No overall difference in efficacy within clinical trials was observed based on age. The incidence of Grade 3-4 adverse reactions observed in patients aged 65 years or older (46.1%) and younger patients (42.5%) was similar.
Of the 546 patients with gastric cancer, treated with ENHERTU 6.4 mg/kg, 45.8% were 65 years or older and 9.3% were 75 years or older. The incidence of Grade 3-4 adverse reactions observed in patients aged 65 years or older was 63.2% and in younger patients was 62.8%. The incidence of serious adverse reactions leading to drug interruptions in patients 65 years or older was 8.4% compared to 3.0% in younger patients. See 7 Warnings and Precautions, Respiratory.
Population pharmacokinetic analysis indicates that age does not have an effect on the parameters of population pharmacokinetics of trastuzumab deruxtecan.

8.2. Clinical Trial Adverse Reactions
Clinical trials are conducted under very specific conditions. Therefore, the frequencies of adverse reactions observed in the clinical trials may not reflect frequencies observed in clinical practice and should not be compared to frequencies reported in clinical trials of another drug.
HER2-Positive Early Breast Cancer
DESTINY-Breast05
The safety of ENHERTU was evaluated in DESTINY-Breast05 in 806 patients with HER2-positive breast cancer with residual invasive disease following neoadjuvant therapy who received at least one dose of ENHERTU 5.4 mg/kg. The median duration of treatment was 9.8 months (range 0.7 to 16.2) in the ENHERTU group and 9.7 months (range 0.5 to 16.6) in the trastuzumab emtansine group.
The most common adverse reactions (frequency ≥20%) in patients treated with 5.4 mg/kg ENHERTU were nausea, fatigue, neutropenia, leukopenia, constipation, vomiting, transaminase increased, anemia, thrombocytopenia, diarrhea, musculoskeletal pain, and decreased appetite. The most common serious adverse reactions (frequency ≥1%) were ILD/pneumonitis (2.6%), and thrombocytopenia (1.1%) in the ENHERTU arm. There were 2 (0.2%) patients with adverse reactions leading to death due to ILD/pneumonitis, and 1 patient (0.1%) with treatment-emergent adverse event leading to death due to respiratory tract infection.
Dose interruption due to adverse reactions occurred in 30.5% of patients treated with 5.4 mg/kg of ENHERTU. The most frequent adverse reactions (>2%) associated with dose interruptions were neutropenia (14.1%), leukopenia (6.2%), thrombocytopenia (3.6%), upper respiratory tract infection (3.1%), ILD (2.4%), fatigue (2.2%) and pyrexia (2.1%). Dose reduction occurred in 22.3% of patients treated with ENHERTU. The most frequent adverse reactions (>2%) associated with dose reduction were nausea (6.1%), fatigue (6.0%), neutropenia (4.0%) and thrombocytopenia (3.3%). Discontinuation of therapy due to an adverse reaction occurred in 8.7% of patients treated with ENHERTU. The most frequent adverse reaction (>2%) associated with permanent discontinuation was ILD (5.6%).
Among patients receiving sequential or concurrent adjuvant radiotherapy, radiation pneumonitis occurred in 31.4% of patients receiving ENHERTU 5.4 mg/kg (N=757) and 30.5% of patients receiving trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) 3.6 mg/kg (N=750), as reported by the investigator. Of these patients, serious radiation pneumonitis events occurred in 1.3% of patients receiving ENHERTU and 0.9% of patients receiving T-DM1. All cases in patients receiving ENHERTU and adjuvant radiotherapy were either Grade 1 (26.6%) or Grade 2 (4.9%). All cases in patients receiving T-DM1 and adjuvant radiotherapy were either Grade 1 (23.6%) or Grade 2 (6.9%).

HER2-Positive Metastatic Breast Cancer
DESTINY-Breast03
The safety of ENHERTU was evaluated in DESTINY-Breast03 in 257 patients with unresectable or metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer who received at least one dose of ENHERTU 5.4 mg/kg. The median duration of treatment was 14.3 months (range: 0.7 to 29.8) in the ENHERTU group and 6.9 months (range: 0.7 to 25.1) in the trastuzumab emtansine group.
The most common adverse reactions (frequency ≥20%) were nausea, fatigue, vomiting, neutropenia, alopecia, constipation, anemia, transaminases increased, musculoskeletal pain, leukopenia, decreased appetite, diarrhea, thrombocytopenia, headache, and abdominal pain. The most common serious adverse reactions (frequency >1%) were interstitial lung disease and vomiting. Fatalities due to adverse reactions occurred in 0.8% of patients including COVID-19 and sudden death (one patient each).
In DESTINY-Breast03, dose interruptions due to adverse reactions occurred in 34.2% of patients treated with ENHERTU. The most frequent adverse reactions (>2%) associated with dose interruption were neutropenia (16.7%), leukopenia (5.1%), thrombocytopenia (4.3), fatigue (4.3%), anemia (3.5%), nausea (3.1%) and interstitial lung disease (2.7%). Dose reductions occurred in 19.8% of patients treated with ENHERTU. The most frequent adverse reactions (>2%) associated with dose reduction were nausea (6.2%) neutropenia (3.5%) and fatigue (3.1%).

Unclassified / Non classifié
The median duration of treatment was 9.8 months (range: 0.7 to 37.1).
The most common adverse reactions (frequency ≥20%) were nausea, fatigue, vomiting, alopecia, constipation, decreased appetite, anemia, neutrophil count decreased, diarrhea, cough, leukopenia, headache and platelet count decreased (Table 9). Serious adverse reactions occurred in 20% of patients receiving ENHERTU. Serious adverse reactions in >1% of patients who received ENHERTU were interstitial lung disease, vomiting, nausea, and hypokalemia. Fatalities due to adverse events occurred in 5.1% of patients including interstitial lung disease (2.6%).
Dose interruptions due to adverse reactions occurred in 25% of patients treated with ENHERTU. The most frequent adverse reactions (>2%) associated with dose interruption were neutropenia (14.5%), anemia (3.4%), upper respiratory tract infection (3.0%), leukopenia (3.0%), interstitial lung disease (2.6%), thrombocytopenia (2.6%), and fatigue (2.1%). Dose reductions occurred in 15% of patients treated with ENHERTU. The most frequent adverse reactions (>2%) associated with dose reduction were fatigue (3.8%), nausea (3.4%), and neutropenia (3.4%). Discontinuation of therapy due to an adverse reaction occurred in 11% of patients treated with ENHERTU. The most frequent adverse reaction (>2%) associated with permanent discontinuation was interstitial lung disease (9.4%).
Table 9 lists adverse reactions, with incidences regardless of investigators assessment of causality, reported in this patient population.

DESTINY-Breast04
The safety of ENHERTU was evaluated in DESTINY-Breast04 in 371 patients with unresectable or metastatic HER2-low (IHC 1+ or IHC 2+/ISH-) breast cancer who received at least one dose of ENHERTU 5.4 mg/kg. The median duration of treatment was 8.2 months (range: 0.2 to 33.3) in the ENHERTU group and 3.5 months (range: 0.3 to 17.6) in the chemotherapy group.
The most common adverse reactions (frequency ≥20%) were nausea, fatigue, vomiting, alopecia, anemia, constipation, neutropenia, transaminases increased, decreased appetite, diarrhea, musculoskeletal pain, thrombocytopenia, and leukopenia. The most common serious adverse reactions (frequency >1%) were ILD/pneumonitis, dyspnea, musculoskeletal pain, anemia, febrile neutropenia, nausea, pyrexia, and vomiting. There were 5 (1.3%) patients with adverse reactions leading to death, 3 attributed to ILD (0.8%) and 1 (0.3%) each for dyspnea and febrile neutropenia.
Dose interruptions due to adverse reactions occurred in 26% of patients treated with ENHERTU. The most frequent adverse reactions (>2%) associated with dose interruption were neutropenia (9.2%), fatigue (5.1%), anemia (4.6%), leukopenia (3.5%), ILD/pneumonitis (3.0%), transaminases increased (3.0%), and blood bilirubin increased (2.2%). Dose reductions occurred in 20% of patients treated with ENHERTU. The most frequent adverse reactions (>2%) associated with dose reduction were fatigue (4.6%), nausea (4.6%), thrombocytopenia (3.5%), and neutropenia (3.0%). Discontinuation of therapy due to an adverse reaction occurred in 11% of patients treated with ENHERTU. The most frequent adverse reaction (>2%) associated with permanent discontinuation was ILD/pneumonitis (8.4%).

HER2-Positive (IHC 3+) Solid Tumours
The safety of ENHERTU was evaluated in a pooled subgroup analysis of 311 patients with unresectable or metastatic HER2-positive (IHC 3+) solid tumours who received at least one dose of ENHERTU 5.4 mg/kg from four Phase 2, multicenter, open-label studies: DESTINY-PanTumor02 (N=75), DESTINY-Lung01 (N=17), DESTINY-CRC02 (N=65), and DESTINY-Breast01 (N=154). The studies excluded patients with a history of ILD/pneumonitis requiring treatment with steroids or ILD/pneumonitis at screening, and patients with a history of clinically significant cardiac disease. The demographic and baseline characteristics of the pooled
Unclassified / Non classifié subgroup were as follows: the median age was 59 years (range 25 to 96); 76.8% were female; 50.2% were White, 41.8% were Asian, 2.9% were Black or African American; and 53.4% had an ECOG performance status 0 and 46.3% had an ECOG performance status of 1. The median duration of treatment was 8.4 months (range 0.7 to 29.5).
The safety of ENHERTU 5.4 mg/kg was evaluated in a pooled subgroup analysis of 311 patients with unresectable or metastatic HER2-positive (IHC 3+) solid tumours in DESTINY-PanTumor02, DESTINY-Lung01, DESTINY-CRC02, and DESTINY-Breast01.
In the pooled studies, the most common adverse reactions (frequency ≥20%) were nausea (70.4%), fatigue (60.1%), neutropenia (38.3%), vomiting (35.7%), alopecia (35.4%), decreased appetite (34.7%), anemia (32.8%), diarrhea (32.2%), constipation (29.9%), thrombocytopenia (23.2%), upper respiratory tract infection (20.9%) and musculoskeletal pain (20.6%). The most common serious adverse reactions (frequency >1%) were interstitial lung disease (4.8%), vomiting (2.6%), nausea (2.3%), pneumonia (1.9%), fatigue (1.3%), and abdominal pain (1.3%). There were 10 (3.2%) patients with adverse reactions leading to death: 9 attributed to ILD (2.9%), and 1 attributed to pneumonia (0.3%).
Dose interruptions due to adverse reactions occurred in 32.5% of patients treated with ENHERTU. The most frequent adverse reactions (>2%) associated with dose interruption were neutropenia (14.1%), anemia (4.8%), upper respiratory tract infection (4.8%), fatigue (3.9%), interstitial lung disease (3.5%), leukopenia (3.5%) and thrombocytopenia (2.6%). Dose reductions occurred in 24.8% of patients treated with ENHERTU. The most frequent adverse reactions (>2%) associated with dose reductions were fatigue (5.8%), nausea (5.1%), neutropenia (4.8%) and interstitial lung disease (2.6%). Discontinuation of therapy due to an adverse reaction occurred in 11.9% of patients treated with ENHERTU. The most frequent adverse reactions (>2%) associated with permanent discontinuation was interstitial lung disease (10%).

10. Clinical Pharmacology
10.1. Mechanism of Action
ENHERTU (trastuzumab deruxtecan) is a HER2 targeted antibody drug conjugate (ADC) composed of three components: 1) a humanized anti-HER2 IgG1 monoclonal antibody (mAb) with the same amino acid sequence as trastuzumab, covalently linked to 2) a topoisomerase I inhibitor (DXd), an exatecan derivative, via 3) a tetrapeptide based cleavable linker. Deruxtecan is composed of the linker and the topoisomerase I inhibitor. Stability studies have demonstrated that < 5% of the intact ADC dissociates into the released DXd form within 21 days.
Following binding to HER2 on tumour cells, trastuzumab deruxtecan undergoes internalization and intracellular linker cleavage by lysosomal enzymes that are upregulated in cancer cells. Upon release, the membrane permeable topoisomerase I inhibitor causes DNA damage and apoptotic cell death.
10.2. Pharmacodynamics
Cardiac Electrophysiology
In a phase 1, open-label, single-arm study of ENHERTU administered to patients with unresectable and/or metastatic HER2-expressing breast cancer, no large mean increase from baseline in QTc interval (i.e. >20 ms) was detected following treatment with ENHERTU at 6.4 mg/kg every 3 weeks (1.2 fold higher than recommended dose) on Cycle 1 or Cycle 3, 7 hours post-dose (N=49).
10.3. Pharmacokinetics
The pharmacokinetics of trastuzumab deruxtecan was evaluated in patients with cancer. Following a single dose, exposures (Cmax and AUC) of trastuzumab deruxtecan and released topoisomerase inhibitor (DXd) increased proportionally over a dose range of 3.2 mg/kg to 8 mg/kg (approximately 0.6 to 1.5 times the recommended dose). Trastuzumab deruxtecan and DXd pharmacokinetics were similar between patients with HER2-low breast cancer and HER2-positive (IHC 3+) solid tumours.

Distribution
Based on noncompartmental analysis, the volume of distribution at steady state (Vss) is 3.66L.
In vitro, the mean human plasma protein binding of the topoisomerase I inhibitor was approximately 97%.
In vitro, the blood to plasma concentration ratio of the topoisomerase I inhibitor was approximately 0.6.
Metabolism
Trastuzumab deruxtecan undergoes intracellular cleavage by lysosomal enzymes to release the active topoisomerase I inhibitor.
The humanized HER2 IgG1 monoclonal antibody is expected to be degraded into small peptides and amino acids via catabolic pathways in the same manner as endogenous IgG.
In vitro metabolism studies in human liver microsomes indicate that the topoisomerase I inhibitor is metabolized mainly by CYP3A4 via oxidative pathways and does not undergo significant metabolism by UGT or other CYP enzymes.
Elimination
Based on noncompartmental analysis, following intravenous administration of trastuzumab deruxtecan in patients with metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer, the clearance parameter of trastuzumab deruxtecan was estimated to be 10.4 mL/day/kg. The apparent elimination half life (t1/2) of trastuzumab deruxtecan and released topoisomerase I inhibitor was approximately 5.6 days. Based on the population pharmacokinetic analysis, a clinically meaningful increase in trastuzumab deruxtecan clearance was observed in patients with locally advanced or metastatic HER2-positive gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma than in patients with metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer.
In vitro, topoisomerase I inhibitor was a substrate of P gp, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, MATE2 K, MRP1, and BCRP. Moderate accumulation (approximately 35% in cycle 3 compared to cycle 1) of trastuzumab deruxtecan was observed.
Following intravenous administration of the topoisomerase I inhibitor to rats, the major excretion pathway was feces via the biliary route. The topoisomerase I inhibitor was the most abundant component in urine, feces, and bile. Following single intravenous administration of trastuzumab deruxtecan (6.4 mg/kg) to monkeys, unchanged released topoisomerase I inhibitor was the most abundant component in urine and feces.
Linearity/Nonlinearity: The exposure of trastuzumab deruxtecan and released topoisomerase I inhibitor when administered intravenously increased in proportion to dose in the 3.2 mg/kg to 8.0 mg/kg dose range (approximately 0.6 to 1.5 times the recommended dose) with low to moderate interindividual variability.
Special populations and conditions
Based on population pharmacokinetic analysis, age (20-96 years), race, ethnicity, sex and body weight did not have a clinically significant effect on pharmacokinetic parameters of trastuzumab deruxtecan or released topoisomerase I inhibitor.
Hepatic Insufficiency
The pharmacokinetics of trastuzumab deruxtecan or DXd in patients with moderate to severe hepatic impairment is unknown.

Renal Insufficiency
The pharmacokinetics of trastuzumab deruxtecan or DXd in patients with severe renal impairment is unknown.
10.4. Immunogenicity
All therapeutic proteins have the potential for immunogenicity.
The detection of antibody formation is highly dependent on the sensitivity and specificity of the assay. Additionally, the observed incidence of antibody (including neutralizing antibody) positivity in an assay may be influenced by several factors including assay methodology, sample handling, timing of sample collection, concomitant medications, and underlying disease. For these reasons, comparison of incidence of antibodies in the studies described below with the incidences of antibodies in other studies or to other products may be misleading.
Across 5.4 mg/kg and 6.4 mg/kg doses evaluated in clinical studies, 2.2% (70/3124) of evaluable patients developed antibodies against trastuzumab deruxtecan following treatment with ENHERTU. The incidence of treatment-emergent neutralizing antibodies against trastuzumab deruxtecan was 0.1% (3/3124). The development of antibodies against trastuzumab deruxtecan has no apparent effect on the pharmacokinetics, efficacy, and safety of ENHERTU.

Patients were eligible if they met at least one high risk criterion: inoperable at disease presentation (clinical stages T4, N0-3, M0 or T1-3, N2-3, M0) with residual invasive disease in the breast or axillary lymph nodes or operable at disease presentation (clinical stages T1-3, N0-1, M0) with positive pathological node status (ypN1-3) after neoadjuvant therapy.
The study excluded patients with history of ILD/pneumonitis requiring treatment with steroids or ILD/pneumonitis at screening, or ECOG performance status >1.
Patients received concurrent or sequential adjuvant radiotherapy as per investigator discretion and hormonal therapy as per local guidelines. All patients received computed tomography (CT) scans of the chest at screening, patients receiving radiotherapy also received regular CT scans of the chest during treatment period and after end of treatment.
Patients were stratified by operative status at disease presentation (operable, inoperable), post neoadjuvant pathological nodal status (positive, negative), tumour hormone receptor status (positive, negative), and HER2-targeted neoadjuvant therapy (single, dual).
Treatment with ENHERTU was administered for a maximum of 14 cycles or until disease recurrence, death, withdrawal of consent, or unacceptable toxicity.

The primary efficacy outcome measure was invasive disease-free survival (IDFS), defined as the time from randomization to first occurrence of ipsilateral local or regional invasive breast cancer recurrence, distant recurrence, contralateral invasive breast cancer, or death from any cause. The key secondary efficacy outcome measure was disease-free survival (DFS), defined as the time between randomization and the date of the first occurrence of an IDFS event, including a secondary primary non-breast cancer event or contralateral or ipsilateral ductal carcinoma in situ. Additional secondary endpoints were brain metastases-free interval (BMFI), distant recurrence-free interval (DRFI), and overall survival (OS).
Demographic and baseline disease characteristics were similar across treatment arms. Of the 1635 patients randomized, the median age was 50.5 years (range: 21 to 83), 10.0% age 65 or older; 99.6% female; 38.8% White, 48.0% Asian, and 2.1% Black or African American. Tumor characteristics were: 71.2% had HR+ status and 28.8% had HR- status; 52.3% had inoperable tumors at disease presentation (T4, N0-3, M0 or T1-3, N2-3, M0); 80.6% had post-neoadjuvant pathological nodal status (ypN1-3). Neoadjuvant treatment characteristics were: 21.2% of patients received single HER2-targeted neoadjuvant therapy; 78.8% received dual HER2-targeted neoadjuvant therapy; 50.3% of patients received anthracyclines and 100% received taxanes as part of neoadjuvant regimen. Characteristics of adjuvant radiotherapy were: 37.0% of patients received sequential adjuvant radiotherapy (RT), 56.1% of patients received concurrent adjuvant RT.

Trial Design and Study Demographics (DESTINY-Breast03)
The efficacy and safety of ENHERTU were demonstrated in a Phase 3, randomized, multicenter, open-label, active-controlled study: DESTINY-Breast03.
The study included adult patients with unresectable or metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer who received prior trastuzumab and taxane therapy for metastatic disease or developed disease recurrence during or within 6 months of completing neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy involving trastuzumab and taxane. Archival breast tumour samples were required to show HER2 positivity defined as HER2 IHC 3+ or ISH-positive. The study excluded patients with a history of ILD/pneumonitis requiring treatment with steroids or ILD/pneumonitis at screening, patients with untreated and symptomatic brain metastases, patients with a history of clinically significant pulmonary or cardiac disease and patients with prior treatment with an anti-HER2 antibody-drug conjugate in the metastatic setting. Patients were randomized 1:1 to receive either ENHERTU 5.4 mg/kg (N=261) or trastuzumab emtansine 3.6 mg/kg (N=263) by intravenous infusion every three weeks. Randomization was stratified by hormone receptor status, prior treatment with pertuzumab, and history of visceral disease. Treatment was administered until disease progression, death, withdrawal of consent, or unacceptable toxicity.
The primary efficacy outcome measure was progression-free survival (PFS) as assessed by a blinded independent central review (BICR) based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST) v1.1. Overall survival (OS) was a key secondary efficacy outcome measure. Confirmed objective response rate (ORR) was a secondary endpoint.
Demographic and baseline disease characteristics were generally similar between treatment arms. Of the 524 patients randomized, the median age was 54 years (range 20.2 to 83.1); female (99.6%); Asian (59.9%), White (27.3%), Black or African American (3.6%); Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0 (62.8%) or 1 (36.8%); hormone receptor status (positive: 51.9%); presence of visceral disease (73.3%); presence of stable brain metastases at baseline (15.6%), and 253 (48.3%) patients received one line of prior systemic therapy in the metastatic setting. The percentage of patients who had not received prior treatment for metastatic disease was 9.5%, and 6.7% of patients had received exactly one prior anti-HER2 therapy that was intended for the neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy and experienced
Unclassified / Non classifié disease progression during or within 6 months of completing treatment (12 months for pertuzumab). The most common prior anti-HER2 cancer therapies received by patients included trastuzumab (99.6%), pertuzumab (61.1%), and an anti-HER2 tyrosine kinase inhibitor (14.9%). Forty-two percent of patients had received prior hormone therapy.
Study Results (DESTINY-Breast03)
At the prespecified interim analysis for PFS based on 245 events (73% of total events planned for final analysis), the study demonstrated a clinically meaningful and statistically significant improvement in PFS in patients randomized to ENHERTU compared to trastuzumab emtansine. A statistically significant improvement in OS was demonstrated at the prespecified second interim analysis of OS.

Trial Design and Study Demographics (DESTINY-Breast02)
The efficacy and safety of ENHERTU were evaluated in study DESTINY Breast02, a Phase 3, randomized, multicenter, open-label, active-controlled study that enrolled patients with unresectable or metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer who were previously treated with trastuzumab emtansine.
Archival breast tumour samples were required to show HER2 positivity defined as HER2 IHC 3+ or ISH-positive. The study excluded patients with a history of ILD/pneumonitis requiring treatment with steroids or ILD/pneumonitis at screening, patients with untreated and symptomatic brain metastases and patients with a history of clinically significant cardiac disease. Patients were randomized 2:1 to receive either ENHERTU 5.4 mg/kg (N=406) by intravenous infusion every three weeks or treatment of physician’s choice (TPC; N=202, trastuzumab plus capecitabine or lapatinib plus capecitabine). Randomization was stratified by hormone receptor status, prior treatment with pertuzumab, and history of visceral disease. Treatment was administered until disease progression, death, withdrawal of consent, or unacceptable toxicity.
The primary efficacy outcome measure was PFS as assessed by BICR based on RECIST v1.1.
Unclassified / Non classifié
OS was a key secondary efficacy outcome measure. Confirmed ORR and duration of response (DOR), were secondary endpoints.
Demographic and baseline disease characteristics were similar between treatment arms. Of the 608 patients randomized, the median age was 54 years (range 22 to 88); female (99.2%); White (63.2%), Asian (29.3%), Black or African American (2.8%); ECOG performance status 0 (57.4%) or 1 (42.4%); hormone receptor status (positive: 58.6%); presence of visceral disease (78.3%); presence of brain metastases at baseline (18.1%); one line of prior systemic therapy in the metastatic setting (4.9%); and prior pertuzumab therapy (78.0%).
Study Results (DESTINY-Breast02)
The median duration of follow-up for patients was 21.5 months (range 0.1-45.6) in the ENHERTU arm and 18.6 months (range 0.0-45.7) in the TPC arm. The study demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in PFS per BICR and OS in patients randomized to ENHERTU compared to TPC.

Trial Design and Study Demographics (DESTINY-Breast01)
The efficacy and safety of ENHERTU were demonstrated in a Phase 2, single-agent, open-label, multicenter study: DESTINY-Breast01.
The study enrolled adult patients with unresectable or metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer
Unclassified / Non classifié who had received prior treatment with trastuzumab emtansine. Patients had received two or more prior anti-HER2 regimens, including trastuzumab emtansine (100%), trastuzumab (100%), and pertuzumab (65.8%). Archival breast tumour samples were required to show HER2 positivity defined as HER2 IHC 3+ or ISH-positive. The study excluded patients with a history of treated ILD or ILD at screening, patients with untreated, symptomatic brain metastases and patients with a history of clinically significant cardiac disease. ENHERTU was administered by intravenous infusion at 5.4 mg/kg once every three weeks until disease progression, death, withdrawal of consent, or unacceptable toxicity.
The primary efficacy outcome measure was confirmed objective response rate (ORR) according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST v1.1) in the intent-to-treat (ITT) population as evaluated by independent central review. Duration of response (DOR) was a secondary efficacy measure.
DESTINY-Breast01 (N=184) baseline demographic and disease characteristics were: median age 55 years (range 28 to 96); female (100%); White (54.9%), Asian (38.0%), Black or African American (2.2%); ECOG performance status 0 (55.4%) or 1 (44.0%); hormone receptor status (positive: 52.7%); presence of visceral disease (91.8%); stable brain metastases (13%); median number of prior therapies in the metastatic setting: 5 (range: 2 to 17); prior pertuzumab therapy (65.8%); sum of diameters of target lesions (<5 cm: 42.4%, ≥5 cm: 50.0%).

Study: DESTINY-Breast06
Trial Design and Study Demographics (DESTINY-Breast06)
The efficacy of ENHERTU were evaluated in study DESTINY-Breast06, a randomized, multicenter, open-label, phase 3 study that randomized 866 adult patients with advanced or metastatic HR+ breast cancer with HER2-low (IHC 1+ or IHC 2+/ISH-) or HER2-ultralow (IHC 0 with membrane staining, described as IHC >0<1+ in the study) expression as evaluated at a central laboratory using Ventana’s PATHWAY antiHER2/neu (4B5) Rabbit Monoclonal Primary Antibody assay and a validated HER2 ISH assay. HER2-ultralow is defined as faint and
Unclassified / Non classifié incomplete membrane HER2 staining that is seen in >0% and ≤10% of tumour cells. Patients were eligible if they had disease progression on (a) at least 2 lines of endocrine therapy in the metastatic setting or (b) one line of endocrine therapy in the metastatic setting and demonstrated progression within 24 months from the start of adjuvant endocrine therapy, or within 6 months of starting first line endocrine therapy in combination with a CDK 4/6 inhibitor in the metastatic setting. Patients with prior chemotherapy in the neo-adjuvant or adjuvant setting were eligible if they had a disease-free interval greater than 12 months. The study excluded patients with prior chemotherapy for advanced or metastatic disease, patients with a history of ILD/pneumonitis requiring treatment with steroids or ILD/pneumonitis at screening, uncontrolled or significant cardiovascular disease, untreated and symptomatic brain metastases, or ECOG performance status >1.
Patients were randomized 1:1 to receive either ENHERTU 5.4 mg/kg (N=436) by intravenous infusion every three weeks or physician’s choice of single agent chemotherapy (N=430, capecitabine 60%, nab-paclitaxel 24%, or paclitaxel 16%). Randomization was stratified by prior CDK4/6 inhibitor use (yes or no), prior taxane use in the non-metastatic setting (yes or no), and HER2 IHC status of tumour samples (IHC 2+/ISH- vs. IHC 1+ vs. IHC >0 <1+). Treatment with ENHERTU was administered until disease progression, death, withdrawal of consent, or unacceptable toxicity.
The primary efficacy endpoint was PFS in patients with HER2-low breast cancer assessed by BICR based on RECIST v1.1. Key secondary efficacy endpoints were PFS assessed by BICR based on RECIST v1.1 in the overall population (HER2-low and HER2-ultralow), OS in HER2-low patients, and OS in the overall population. Additional secondary endpoints included ORR and DOR.
Demographics and baseline tumour characteristics were similar between treatment arms. Of the 866 patients randomized, the median age was 57 years (range: 28 to 87); 31% were age 65 or older; 99.9% were female; 53% were White, 35% were Asian, and 1% were Black or African American. Patients had an ECOG performance status of 0 (59%) or 1 (39%) at baseline; 18% were HER2 IHC >0<1+, 55% were IHC 1+, 27% were IHC 2+/ISH-; 67% had liver metastases, 32% had lung metastases, 8% had brain metastases, and 3% had bone-only metastases. Patients had a median of 2 prior lines of endocrine therapy in the metastatic setting (range: 1 to 5) with 17% having 1 and 68% having 2. Eighty-nine percent of patients had prior endocrine therapy in combination with CDK4/6i treatment in the metastatic setting, 41% had prior taxane use in the non-metastatic setting.
Study Results (DESTINY-Breast06)
The median duration of follow-up for patients was 18.6 months in the ENHERTU arm and 17.8 months in the chemotherapy arm. The study demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in PFS in the patients randomized to ENHERTU compared to chemotherapy in both the HER2-low cohort and the overall population. At the time of the PFS final analysis, overall survival data were immature. Efficacy results are summarized in Table 34, Figure 7 and Figure 8.

Study: DESTINY-Breast04
Trial Design and Study Demographics (DESTINY-Breast04)
The efficacy and safety of ENHERTU were evaluated in study DESTINY-Breast04, a Phase 3, randomized, multicenter, open-label study that enrolled 557 adult patients with unresectable or metastatic HER2-low breast cancer.
The study included 2 cohorts: 494 hormone receptor-positive (HR+) patients and 63 hormone receptor-negative (HR-) patients. HER2-low expression was defined as IHC 1+ or IHC 2+/ISH- according to the College of American Pathologists (CAP) 2018 HER2 Testing in breast cancer guideline evaluated at a central laboratory using Ventana’s PATHWAY anti-HER2-/neu (4B5) Rabbit Monoclonal Primary Antibody assay and INFORM HER2 Dual ISH assay. Patients should have received at least one prior line (no more than two prior lines) of chemotherapy in the metastatic setting or have developed disease recurrence during or within 6 months of completing adjuvant chemotherapy. Patients with HR+ breast cancer should be refractory to prior endocrine therapy (ET), defined as having progressed on at least 1 ET and determined by the investigator that the patient would no longer benefit from further treatment with ET.
Patients were randomized 2:1 to receive either ENHERTU 5.4 mg/kg (N=373) by intravenous infusion every three weeks or physician’s choice of chemotherapy (N=184; eribulin, capecitabine, gemcitabine, nab-paclitaxel, or paclitaxel). Randomization was stratified by HER2 IHC status of tumour samples (IHC 1+ or IHC 2+/ISH-), number of prior lines of chemotherapy in the metastatic setting (1 or 2), and HR status/prior CDK4/6i treatment (HR+ with prior CDK4/6 inhibitor treatment, HR+ without prior CDK4/6 inhibitor treatment, or HR-). Treatment was administered until disease progression, death, withdrawal of consent, or unacceptable toxicity. The study excluded patients with a history of ILD/pneumonitis requiring treatment with steroids or ILD/pneumonitis at screening and clinically significant cardiac disease. Patients were also excluded for untreated or symptomatic brain metastases or ECOG performance status >1.
The primary efficacy outcome measure was PFS in patients with HR+ breast cancer assessed by BICR based on RECIST v1.1. Key secondary efficacy outcome measures were PFS assessed by BICR based on RECIST v1.1 in the overall population (all randomized HR+ and HR- patients), OS in HR+ patients, and OS in the overall population. ORR and DOR were secondary endpoints.
Demographics and baseline tumour characteristics were generally similar between treatment arms. Of the 557 patients randomized, the median age was 56.5 years (range: 28.4 to 80.5); 23.5% were age 65 or older; 99.6% were female and 0.4% were male; 47.9% were White, 40.0% were Asian, and 1.8% were Black or African American. Patients had an ECOG performance status of 0 (54.8%) or 1 (45.2%) at baseline; 57.6% were IHC 1+, 42.4% were IHC 2+/ISH-; 69.8% had liver metastases; 32.9% had lung metastases; 5.7% had stable brain metastases; and 51.9%, 34.5% and 11.5% had normal, mild and moderate renal functions, respectively. In the metastatic setting, patients had a median of 3 prior lines of systemic therapy (range: 1 to 9) with 57.6% having 1 and 40.9% having 2 prior chemotherapy regimens, median
Unclassified / Non classifié of 2 prior lines of endocrine therapy (range: 0 to 7) with 28.5% having 1 and 30.3% having 2 prior lines, and 3.9% were early progressors (defined as having disease recurrence during or within 6 months of completing neo/adjuvant chemotherapy). In the neo/adjuvant setting, the number of patients that received anthracyclines was 46.3%. In the metastatic setting, patients had received the following cytotoxic agents: taxane (55.1%), capecitabine (49.4%), anthracyclines (19.4%) and eribulin (9.2%). In HR+ patients, the median number of prior lines of endocrine therapy was 2 (range: 0 to 9) and 70.4% had prior CDK4/6i inhibitor treatment.
Study Results (DESTINY-Breast04)
The median duration of follow-up for patients was 16.1 months (range 0.3-33.1) in the ENHERTU arm and 13.5 months (range 0.0-27.8) in the chemotherapy arm. The study demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in OS and PFS in patients randomized to ENHERTU compared to chemotherapy in both the HR+ cohort and the overall population.

IHC 3+ or IHC 2+/ISH-positive. The study excluded patients with a history of ILD/pneumonitis requiring treatment with steroids or ILD/pneumonitis at screening, patients with a history of clinically significant cardiac disease, and patients with active brain metastases. Treatment was administered until disease progression, death, or unacceptable toxicity. The primary efficacy outcome measure was overall survival (OS). PFS, confirmed ORR, and DOR were secondary outcome measures.
Demographic and baseline disease characteristics were similar between treatment arms. Of the 494 patients enrolled in DESTINY-Gastric04, the median age was 63.7 years (range 21.1 to 87.0); 79.4% were male; 49.8% were White, 40.1% were Asian, and 0.4% were Black or African American.

DESTINY-PanTumor02 was a Phase 2, multicenter, open-label study that enrolled 267 adult patients with locally advanced, unresectable, or metastatic HER2-expressing (IHC 3+, IHC 2+) solid tumours who have progressed following at least one prior systemic regimen or who have no satisfactory alternative treatment option. Patients received ENHERTU 5.4 mg/kg by intravenous infusion every three weeks. Treatment was administered until disease progression, death, withdrawal of consent, or unacceptable toxicity. The study excluded patients with a history of ILD/pneumonitis requiring treatment with steroids or ILD/pneumonitis at screening and clinically significant cardiac disease. Patients were also excluded for untreated and symptomatic brain metastases or ECOG performance status >1.
Efficacy was assessed in the subgroup of patients (N=75) with centrally confirmed HER2-positive (IHC 3+) solid tumours. The primary efficacy outcome measure was confirmed objective response rate (ORR) and secondary efficacy outcome measures included duration of response (DOR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). All outcomes were assessed by independent central review (ICR) based on RECIST v1.1.
Of the 75 patients in the HER2-positive (IHC 3+) subgroup, demographic and baseline disease characteristics were: median age 64 years (range 31 to 85); 37.3% were male; 58.7% were White, 32.0% were Asian, and 4.0% were Black or African American. Patients had an ECOG
Unclassified / Non classifié performance status of either 0 (56%) or 1 (44%) at baseline. The median number of prior regiments was 2.
Study Results (DESTINY-PanTumor02)
The median duration of follow-up for patients was 12.8 months (range 0.4 to 31.6). The confirmed ORR was 61.3% (95% CI: 49.4, 72.4) and median DOR with confirmed response was 20.1 months (95% CI: 9.9, NE).
Efficacy results are summarized in Table 41 and Table 42.
Study: DESTINY-Lung01
Trial Design and Study Demographics (DESTINY-Lung01)
DESTINY-Lung01 was a Phase 2, multicenter, open-label, 2-cohort study that enrolled 181 patients with previously treated, unresectable or metastatic, HER2-expressing (IHC 3+ or IHC 2+) or HER2-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Patients received ENHERTU 5.4 mg/kg or 6.4 mg/kg by intravenous infusion every three weeks. Treatment was administered until disease progression, death, withdrawal of consent, or unacceptable toxicity. The study excluded patients with a history of ILD/pneumonitis requiring treatment with steroids or ILD/pneumonitis at screening and clinically significant cardiac disease. Patients were also excluded for untreated and symptomatic brain metastases or ECOG performance status >1.
Efficacy was assessed in the subgroup of patients (N=17) with centrally-confirmed HER2-positive (IHC 3+) NSCLC who received ENHERTU 5.4 mg/kg. The primary efficacy outcome measure was confirmed objective response rate (ORR) and secondary efficacy outcome measures were duration of response (DOR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). All outcomes were assessed by independent central review (ICR) based on RECIST v1.1.
Of the 17 patients in the HER2-positive (IHC 3+) subgroup, demographic and baseline disease characteristics were: median age 59 years (range 31 to 74); 58.8% were male; 64.7% were White, 17.6% were Asian, and 11.8% were Black or African American. Patients had an ECOG performance status of either 0 (11.8%) or 1 (88.2%) at baseline. The median number of prior regimens was 3.
Study Results (DESTINY-Lung01)
The median duration of follow-up for patients was 11.2 months (range 1.9 to 16.0). The confirmed ORR was 52.9% (95% CI: 27.8, 77.0) and median DOR with confirmed response was 6.9 months (95% CI: 4.0, 9.8).
Efficacy results are summarized in Table 41 and Table 42.
Study: DESTINY-CRC02
Trial Design and Study Demographics (DESTINY-CRC02)
DESTINY-CRC02 was a Phase 2, multicenter, randomized, 2-arm study that enrolled 122 patients with previously treated, unresectable or metastatic HER2-expressing (IHC 3+ or IHC 2+/ISH+) colorectal cancer (CRC). Patients received ENHERTU 5.4 mg/kg or 6.4 mg/kg by intravenous infusion every three weeks. Treatment was administered until disease progression, death, withdrawal of consent, or unacceptable toxicity. The study excluded patients with a
Unclassified / Non classifié history of ILD/pneumonitis requiring treatment with steroids or ILD/pneumonitis at screening and clinically significant cardiac disease. Patients were also excluded for untreated and symptomatic brain metastases or ECOG performance status >1.
Efficacy was assessed in the subgroup of patients (N=64) with centrally-confirmed HER2-positive (IHC 3+) CRC who received ENHERTU 5.4 mg/kg. The primary efficacy outcome measure was confirmed objective response rate (ORR) and secondary efficacy outcome measures were duration of response (DOR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). All outcomes were assessed by independent central review (ICR) based on RECIST v1.1.
Of the 64 patients in the HER2-positive (IHC 3+) subgroup, demographic and baseline disease characteristics were: median age 58 years (range 25 to 78); 53.1% were male; 54.7 % were Asian, and 40.6% were White. Patients had an ECOG performance status of either 0 (57.8%) or 1 (42.2%) at baseline. The median number of prior regimens was 4.
Study Results (DESTINY-CRC02)
The median duration of follow-up for patients was 9.3 months (range 0.5 to 17.1). The confirmed ORR was 46.9% (95% CI: 34.3, 59.8) and median DOR with confirmed response was 5.5 months (95% CI: 4.2, 8.1).
Efficacy results are summarized in Table 41 and Table 42.

§ Calculated using the Kaplan-Meier technique
Among the 2 patients with HER2-positive (IHC 3+) pancreatic cancer, there were no responders based on RECIST v1.1. However, efficacy results should be interpreted with caution given the limited number of patients investigated in some tumour types. In addition, ENHERTU has not been studied in patients with primary central nervous system (CNS) tumours or sarcoma.
16. Non-Clinical Toxicology
General toxicology
Rats
In a six week repeat-dose toxicity study, trastuzumab deruxtecan was administered to rats once every three weeks at doses up to 197 mg/kg (approximately 31 times the clinical dose of 5.4 mg/kg based on AUC). Toxicities were observed in intestines, lymphatic/hematopoietic organs (thymus, lymph nodes, bone marrow), kidneys, skin, testes, and incisor teeth. All changes observed, except for testicular and incisor teeth changes, were reversible following a nine week recovery period.
Cynomolgus Monkeys
In a three month repeat-dose toxicity study, trastuzumab deruxtecan was administered to monkeys once every three weeks at doses up to 30 mg/kg (approximately 9 times the clinical dose of 5.4 mg/kg based on AUC). Toxicities were observed in intestines, testes, skin, bone marrow, kidneys, and lungs. Pulmonary toxicity was observed at the highest dose (30 mg/kg) and histopathologically characterized by aggregation of foamy alveolar macrophages and focal alveolus and/or interstitial inflammation which showed reversibility after a three month recovery period. Changes observed in other organs, except for those in the skin and kidney, also showed
Unclassified / Non classifié reversibility or a trend toward reversibility by the end of a three month recovery period.
Carcinogenicity
Carcinogenicity studies have not been conducted with trastuzumab deruxtecan.
The topoisomerase I inhibitor component of trastuzumab deruxtecan was clastogenic in both an in vivo rat bone marrow micronucleus assay and an in vitro Chinese hamster lung chromosome aberration assay and was not mutagenic in an in vitro bacterial reverse mutation assay.
Reproductive and developmental toxicology
Impairment of Fertility
Dedicated fertility studies have not been conducted with trastuzumab deruxtecan. Based on results from general animal toxicity studies, trastuzumab deruxtecan may impair male reproductive function and fertility.
Developmental Toxicity
There were no animal reproductive or developmental toxicity studies conducted with trastuzumab deruxtecan. Based on results from general animal toxicity studies, trastuzumab deruxtecan and the topoisomerase I inhibitor component were toxic to rapidly dividing cells (lymphatic/hematopoietic organs, intestine, or testes), and the topoisomerase I inhibitor was genotoxic, suggesting the potential for embryotoxicity and teratogenicity.
Juvenile toxicity
No juvenile toxicity studies have been conducted.
