Treatment and study plan

Trastuzumab Deruxtecan

Drug

Intravenous administration, 5.4 mg/kg on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle until radiographic disease progression as assessed by the investigator, unacceptable toxicity, other discontinuation criteria are met, or 2 years after first dose of study drug

Other names: T-DXd, DS-8201a (trastuzumab derextecan), Enhertu®

Primary outcomes

  1. Time From the Start of T-DXd to Initiation of Subsequent Anticancer Treatment (TTNT)

    Time frame: Until subsequent therapy or death, assessed up to 24 months

    TTNT is defined as the time interval from the date of first dose of T-DXd to the initiation of the next anticancer treatment or death due to any cause.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Real-World Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    Time frame: Until progression or death, assessed up to 24 months

    Real-world PFS is defined as time from date of first dose of T-DXd to time of disease progression per investigator assessment based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 or death due to any cause.

  2. Time From Start of T-DXd to Discontinuation of T-DXd or Death (TTD)

    Time frame: Until treatment discontinuation or death, up to 24 months

    TTD is defined as the time interval from the date of first dose of T-DXd to the date of discontinuation of T-DXd or death due to any cause.

  3. Objective Response Rate (ORR)

    Time frame: Until progression, assessed up to 24 months

    ORR is defined as the proportion of participants with a best overall response (BOR) of confirmed complete response (CR) or confirmed partial response (PR) according to the investigator and per RECIST version 1.1 criteria.

  4. Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    Time frame: Up to follow up period, up to 24 months

    TEAEs are graded according to National Cancer Institute-Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) v5.0. A TEAE is defined as an adverse event (AE) that occurs, having been absent before the first dose of study drug, or has worsened in severity or seriousness after initiating the study drug until 47 days after the last dose of the study drug.

  5. Mean Change from Baseline in European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaires (EORTC-QLQ)-C30 Score

    Time frame: Assessed up to 24 months

    Change from baseline in the EORTC-QLQ-C30 scale scores range from 0-100. For functioning and global health status/ QoL scales, higher scores indicate better functioning or global health status/QoL. For symptom scales, higher scores indicate greater symptom burden.

  6. Mean Change from Baseline in European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaires (EORTC-QLQ)-BR45 Score

    Time frame: Assessed up to 24 months

    Change from baseline in the EORTC QLQ-BR45 scale scores range from 0-100. For functioning and global health status/ QoL scales, higher scores indicate better functioning or global health status/QoL. For symptom scales, higher scores indicate greater symptom burden.

  7. Time to First and Definitive Deterioration in European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaires (EORTC-QLQ) Scales

    Time frame: Assessed up to 24 months

    Time to first and definitive deterioration in EORTC-QLQ scales. Scale scores range from 0-100. For functioning and global health status/ QoL scales, higher scores indicate better functioning or global health status/QoL. For symptom scales, higher scores indicate greater symptom burden.

  8. Mean Change from Baseline in EuroQol Questionnaire-5 Dimensions-5 Levels (EQ-5D-5L)

    Time frame: Assessed up to 24 months

    Change from baseline in EQ-5D-5L. The EQ-5D-5L is a health-related QoL questionnaire based on five dimensions of health: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. Each dimension contains five levels: no problems, slight, moderate, severe, and extreme problems. The EQ-5D-5L results can be converted into a single utility value. Utility values range from 0 to 1, with 1 corresponding to perfect health and 0 corresponding to a health status equivalent to death. In addition, participants can provide an overall rating of their current health status using a visual analog scale ranging from 0 (worse) to 100 (better).

  9. Mean Change From Baseline in EuroQol Questionnaire-5 Dimensions-5 Levels (EQ-5D-5L) Index Score

    Time frame: Assessed up to 24 months

    Change from baseline in EQ-5D-5L index score. The EQ-5D-5L index score ranges from less than 0 (worse) to 1 (better), with higher scores representing a better health status.

  10. Mean Change From Baseline in EuroQol Questionnaire-5 Dimensions-5 Levels (EQ-5D-5L) Visual Analog Scale (VAS)

    Time frame: Assessed up to 24 months

    Change from baseline in EQ-5D-5L VAS. The EQ-5D-5L VAS ranging from 0 (worse) to 100 (better) is used to assess an overall rating of participant's current health status. Higher scores indicate better clinical outcomes.

  11. Time to First and Definitive Deterioration in EuroQol Questionnaire-5 Dimensions-5 Levels (EQ-5D-5L) Visual Analog Scale (VAS)

    Time frame: Assessed up to 24 months

    Time to first and definitive deterioration in EQ-5D-5L VAS. The EQ-5D-5L VAS ranging from 0 (worse) to 100 (better) is used to assess an overall rating of participant's current health status. Higher scores indicate better clinical outcomes.

  12. Patient's Global Impression of Change (PGI-C) Response

    Time frame: Assessed up to 24 months

    The PGI-C is a single-item questionnaire asking for the participant's overall impression of changes in clinical condition from baseline (prior to study drug initiation), where 1 is "Normal" and 7 is "Severely ill". Lower scores indicate better clinical outcome.

  13. Patient's Global Impression of Severity (PGI-S) Response

    Time frame: Assessed up to 24 months

    The PGI-S is a single-item questionnaire asking for the subject's overall impression of symptoms assessed over the past week, where 1 is "Normal" and 4 is "Severe". Lower scores indicate better clinical outcome.

  14. Patient's Global Impression of Treatment Tolerability (PGI-TT) Response

    Time frame: Assessed up to 24 months

    The PGI-TT is a single-item questionnaire asking for the subject's overall impression of treatment tolerability over the past week, where 1 is "Not at all" and 5 is "Very much". Higher scores indicate a worse outcome.
