From 6 months postdose of last participant up to 3 years 5 months

Objective response rate (ORR) by independent central review was defined as the proportion of participants who achieve either complete response \[CR\] or partial response \[PR\] per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1. CR was defined as a disappearance of all target lesions and PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions. HER2-positive other solid tumors included participants with salivary/submandibular/parotid gland (8 participants), breast with HER2-mutation (2 participants), endometrial (2 participants), esophageal (2 participants), Paget's disease (2 participants), cholangiocarcinoma (1 participant), extraskeletal myxoide chondrosarcoma (1 participant), gallbladder (1 participant), pancreatic (1 participant), small intestine (1 participant), uterine cervix (1 participant) and HER2-low gastric/GEJ (1 participant who received 5.4 mg/kg) cancer.

Frequently asked questions about DS-8201a

What is DS-8201a?

DS-8201a is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) being developed for HER2-expressing cancers. It is being studied in breast cancer, gastric adenocarcinoma, advanced colorectal cancer, and other advanced solid tumors. AstraZeneca PLC (ticker AZN) is the developer. It is an investigational agent in clinical development.

What does DS-8201a target?

DS-8201a targets HER2, the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2. As an antibody-drug conjugate, it binds HER2-expressing tumor cells and delivers a cytotoxic payload. Its clinical program is biomarker-selected, enrolling patients whose tumors overexpress or express HER2, including breast, gastric, and colorectal cancers.

Who makes DS-8201a?

DS-8201a is developed by AstraZeneca PLC, which trades under the ticker AZN. The company is running the clinical program across HER2-positive breast cancer, HER2-overexpressing colorectal cancer, gastric adenocarcinoma, and advanced solid tumors.

What phase is DS-8201a in?

DS-8201a is in clinical development and is investigational. Its trial program spans Phase 1 through Phase 3, including a Phase 1 study in advanced solid tumors, Phase 2 studies in colorectal cancer, and the Phase 3 DESTINY-Breast05 trial in high-risk HER2-positive breast cancer.

What clinical trials is DS-8201a in?

DS-8201a has been studied in NCT04744831, a completed Phase 2 trial in HER2-overexpressing advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer; NCT03384940 (DESTINY-CRC01), a completed Phase 2 trial in HER2-expressing colorectal cancer; NCT03383692, a completed Phase 1 trial in advanced solid tumors; and NCT04622319 (DESTINY-Breast05), an active Phase 3 breast cancer trial.

Is DS-8201a the same as trastuzumab deruxtecan?

Yes. DS-8201a is also known as trastuzumab deruxtecan, and it has been referenced as DS-8201a (DP1) and by dosing descriptions such as DS-8201a 5.4 mg/kg Q3W. The names DS-8201a and trastuzumab deruxtecan refer to the same HER2-targeted antibody-drug conjugate developed by AstraZeneca.
