28 May 2024: AstraZeneca and Daiichi Sankyo’s ADC Falls Short in Phase III NSCLC Trial

  • AstraZeneca and Daiichi Sankyo’s Phase III TROPION-Lung01 study revealed that datopotamab deruxtecan (Dato-DXd), did not significantly improve overall survival in NSCLC patients

  • Dato-DXd, an investigational ADC, targets the TROP2 antigen, commonly overexpressed in various malignancies, including breast, colorectal, gastric, and lung cancers

  • The TROPION-Lung01 study showed that overall survival outcomes “numerically favored” datopotamab deruxtecan (Dato-DXd) over docetaxel, but the difference was not statistically significant

  • In a subset of patients with non-squamous NSCLC, Dato-DXd showed a “clinically meaningful improvement in overall survival

  • TROPION-Lung01 is a randomized, open-label trial involving over 600 adults with advanced or metastatic NSCLC needing systemic therapy after previous treatments
