Effect of Trastuzumab Deruxtecan on QT/QTc Interval and Pharmacokinetics in HER2-Positive or HER2-Low Metastatic/Unresectable Breast Cancer.

ABSTRACT: HER2-targeted anticancer therapies may be associated with cardiovascular adverse events. This study evaluated effects of the HER2-targeted antibody-drug conjugate trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd, DS-8201a) on QT/QTc interval and its pharmacokinetics. Patients with heavily pretreated, metastatic HER2-expressing breast cancer were enrolled at seven study sites in Japan. T-DXd was administered intravenously at 6.4 mg/kg on day 1 of each 21-day cycle. Primary end points were baseline-adjusted QTcF interval and pharmacokinetics parameters. Key secondary end points included safety events, serum concentration of T-DXd and DXd at the time of electrocardiographic measurements, and antitumor activity parameters. Among 51 total patients, 47 (92.2%) had HER2-low breast cancer (immunohistochemistry 1+ or
