The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted approval for Gilead Sciences ’ Trodelvy (sacituzumab govitecan-hziy) to treat unresectable locally advanced or metastatic hormone receptor (HR)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative (IHC 0, IHC 1+ or IHC 2+/ISH–) breast cancer adult patients.
According to the trial data, Enhertu lowered disease progression or mortality risk by 50% compared with chemotherapy according to the physician’s choice in HER2-low metastatic breast cancer patients with hormone receptor (HR)-positive disease or HR-negative disease. months compared with 5.1 months for the chemotherapy arm.
Along with data from its antibody-drug conjugates and oral selective oestrogen receptor degrader (SERD) camizestrant reported earlier, AZ presented results of the CAPItello trial of AKT inhibitor capivasertib in combination with injectable SERD Faslodex (fulvestrant) in hormone receptor positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer.
Hormone receptor-positive/human epidermal growth factor negative (HR+/HER2-) breast cancer accounts for approximately 70% of all breast cancers, with close to 40,000 new cases diagnosed each year worldwide. Trop-2 is highly expressed across multiple cancer types, with expression detected in more than 90% of breast cancers.
AstraZeneca and Daiichi Sankyo have received Priority Review for their supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), Enhertu (trastuzumab deruxtecan), to treat unresectable or metastatic HER2-low breast cancer in adults.
AstraZeneca and Daiichi Sankyo’s antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) Enhertu is already making waves in breast cancer, and clinical results presented at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS) suggest they may see success with a second.
At this year’s ASCO congress, the Trop2-targeting antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) was found to improve progression-free survival significantly in in patients with hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer who received multiple lines of prior treatment.
Nasdaq: GILD) today announced results from the Phase 3 TROPiCS-02 study evaluating Trodelvy ® (sacituzumab govitecan-hziy) in patients with HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer who received prior endocrine therapy, CDK4/6 inhibitors and two to four lines of chemotherapy. Gilead Sciences, Inc.
The Swiss pharma said in its update that the acelERA trial comparing giredestrant to physician’s choice of endocrine therapy for previously-treated hormone receptor (HR)-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer did not meet its primary endpoint of improving progression-free survival (PFS). Ocrevus rose 18% to CHF 1.4
HR+/HER2- breast cancer is the most common type of breast cancer, with the National Cancer Institute (NCI) estimating 287,850 new cases of female breast cancer in 2022 alone. Despite decades of advances, people living with pre-treated HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer need new treatment options. months vs. 11.2
Enhertu is a HER2-directed antibody drug conjugate (ADC) being jointly developed by AstraZeneca and Daiichi Sankyo. 1,2 HER2-low expression occurs in both HR-positive and HR-negative disease.3. The primary endpoint of DESTINY-Breast04 is PFS in patients with HR-positive disease based on blinded independent central review (BICR).
Gilead Sciences will hear back from the FDA in February next year about its marketing application for Trodelvy in hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer, billed by the drugmaker as a key new indication for the drug.
Prospects for Gilead Sciences’ Trodelvy in hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer continue to improve as data from the TROPiCs-02 trial strengthen, but the jury is still out on what that might mean for the drug commercially.
1-4 Low HER2 expression occurs in both HR-positive and HR-negative disease. 6 Currently chemotherapy remains the only treatment option for patients with HR-positive tumours following progression on endocrine (hormone) therapy. 7 Few targeted options are available for those who are HR-negative.
The trial evaluated Trodelvy (sacituzumab govitecan) in patients with HR-positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer who received multiple lines of prior treatment, and showed that the drug extended progression-free survival to 5.5 At ASCO the numbers have been revealed, and the picture isn’t much clearer.
It has the potential to be a sizeable new indication for Enhertu (trastuzumab deruxtecan), a HER2-targeting antibody-drug conjugate, and central to AZ and Daiichi Sankyo’s hopes of unlocking multibillion-dollar sales for the drug.
The biotech acquisition deal includes Five Prime’s prime asset bemarituzumab, which is a first-in-class anti-FGFR2b antibody. The antibody accrued promising data in a randomized, placebo-controlled Phase II study in frontline advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) cancer, and is now being prepared for Phase III trials.
Data will also be presented for two of our investigational hormone receptor (HR)-positive breast cancer treatments, both of which target the PI3K/AKT signalling pathway, a key driver of cancer cell growth and proliferation. HR-positive breast cancer. GDC-0077 is our next generation investigational PI3K? Ipatasertib.
This research provides a way for us to rapidly assess the ability of an existing vaccine to induce antibodies that neutralize a newly identified variant of concern. Contraception: Use of ritonavir may reduce the efficacy of combined hormonal contraceptives. No dosage adjustment is needed in patients with mild renal impairment.
5) Ibrance (palbociclib) Ibrance is a chemotherapy drug indicated for hormone receptor positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-) metastatic breast cancer. It is a CDK 4/6 inhibitor that is taken in combination with other hormonal therapies to stop the growth of cancer and healthy cells.
AstraZeneca has won its first-in-class approval for its AKT inhibitor Truqap (capivasertib) in combination with Faslodex (fulvestrant) for treating patients with hormone receptor (HR)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative advanced breast cancer. It was also given FDA priority review. billion to $1.28
1 With up to seven years of follow-up, progression-free survival (PFS) benefit with single-agent IMBRUVICA was sustained (Hazard Ratio [HR] 0.160 [95 percent Confidence Interval (CI): 0.111–0.230]). The BTK protein sends important signals that tell B cells to mature and produce antibodies. Isolated growth hormone deficiency. ?
months in median OS with Tecentriq plus nab-paclitaxel, compared with placebo plus nab-paclitaxel (hazard ratio [HR]=0.67; 95% CI: 0.53–0.86). The OS data showed a negative trend; however, the study was not powered for the secondary endpoint of OS, and OS data were immature at time of analysis (initial HR=1.55 [95% CI: 0.86-2.80]
months with Tecentriq alone; HR=0.30, 95% CI: 0.15–0.61). Tiragolumab is a monoclonal antibody designed to bind with TIGIT, a protein receptor on immune cells. Tecentriq is a monoclonal antibody designed to bind with a protein called PD-L1. Co-primary endpoints are overall response rate and progression-free survival.
