Datroway Extends Survival Over Chemotherapy in First-Line Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

The topline Phase 3 readout positions the TROP2-targeting antibody-drug conjugate to challenge chemotherapy as first-line care for immunotherapy-ineligible triple-negative disease.

Overview

  • High-level results from the Phase 3 TROPION-Breast02 trial show statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements in overall survival and progression-free survival versus investigator’s-choice chemotherapy.
  • The study enrolled previously untreated patients with locally recurrent inoperable or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer who were not candidates for immunotherapy, including those with PD-L1–negative tumors.
  • The companies reported a safety profile consistent with prior Datroway breast cancer studies.
  • AstraZeneca and Daiichi Sankyo said full data will be presented at a medical meeting and submitted to global regulators as soon as possible.
  • Company leaders said this is the first trial to demonstrate a survival benefit over chemotherapy in this first-line, immunotherapy-ineligible population, setting up competition with Gilead’s Trodelvy, which had not shown an overall survival benefit to date.
