Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Progression-free survival (PFS)
Approximately 2.5 years

PFS is defined as the time from randomization until radiological progression per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors, Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) as assessed by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR), or death due to any cause.

Progression free survival (PFS) response (Substudy 4C only)
From baseline to progressive disease or death (approximately 1 year)

PFS is defined as time from start of treatment until progression per RECIST 1.1 as assessed by the investigator or death due to any cause.

Frequently asked questions about Datopotamab deruxtecan

What is Datopotamab deruxtecan?

Datopotamab deruxtecan is an investigational antibody-drug conjugate being developed by AstraZeneca PLC (ticker AZN) for oncology indications. It is being studied in advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer, breast cancer including triple negative breast cancer, and endometrial cancer. It is an antibody-drug conjugate, or ADC, and remains in clinical development.

What is Datopotamab deruxtecan used for?

Datopotamab deruxtecan is being studied for advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer, breast cancer including triple negative breast cancer, and endometrial cancer. It is an investigational therapy and is not yet established as a treatment outside of clinical trials. Studies include previously treated non-squamous NSCLC and treatment-naive brain metastases from NSCLC.

What does Datopotamab deruxtecan target?

Datopotamab deruxtecan targets TROP2, a protein expressed on tumor cells. It is an antibody-drug conjugate built on an antibody component, meaning the antibody portion binds TROP2 and delivers a cytotoxic payload to those cells. This targeted delivery approach is the basis for its study across multiple solid tumor types.

Who makes Datopotamab deruxtecan?

Datopotamab deruxtecan is developed by AstraZeneca PLC, which trades under the ticker AZN. AstraZeneca is running the clinical development program, which includes Phase 2 and Phase 3 studies in non-small cell lung cancer and breast cancer. The drug is also referred to as Dato-DXd.

What phase is Datopotamab deruxtecan in?

Datopotamab deruxtecan is in clinical development, with studies spanning Phase 2 and Phase 3. It is investigational and has not been established as an approved therapy. The program includes three recruiting studies and one active, not recruiting study, with a combined planned enrollment of roughly 1,350 participants across the listed trials.

What clinical trials is Datopotamab deruxtecan in?

Datopotamab deruxtecan is being studied in several trials, including NCT07291037, a Phase 3 study versus docetaxel in previously treated TROP2-positive advanced or metastatic non-squamous NSCLC; NCT07069595, a Phase 2 ctDNA surveillance study in triple negative breast cancer with residual disease; and NCT06822543, a Phase 2 study with carboplatin and pembrolizumab in treatment-naive NSCLC brain metastases. NCT06564844 is a Phase 3 adjuvant study in Stage I adenocarcinoma NSCLC.

Is Datopotamab deruxtecan the same as Dato-DXd?

Yes, Datopotamab deruxtecan is also known as Dato-DXd. Dato-DXd is a shortened name used for the same antibody-drug conjugate developed by AstraZeneca PLC. Searches for either name refer to the same investigational TROP2-targeting agent being studied in non-small cell lung cancer, breast cancer, and endometrial cancer.
