A Phase IV, Open-Label, Single-Arm Study of Prophylaxis for Datopotamab Deruxtecan-related Stomatitis in Eligible Patients With Metastatic or Inoperable Locally Recurrent Breast Cancer or Locally Advanced or Metastatic Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor-Mutated Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (TROPION-SWISH)

This is a multicenter, open-label, single-arm study of prophylaxis for Dato-DXd-related stomatitis in eligible patients with metastatic or inoperable locally recurrent breast cancer or locally advanced or metastatic Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor-Mutated (EGFRm) non-small cell lung cancer.

Detailed Description

The purpose of this Phase IV study is to describe the incidence and severity of Dato-DXd treatment-emergent grade ≥ 2 stomatitis in participants receiving prophylactic dexamethasone mouthwash within the first 12 weeks of study treatment (ie, Dato-DXd dosing).

The study will enroll an estimated 100 participants across approximately 35 sites in the U.S. Enrollment of participants is planned to occur over approximately 18 months, with a minimum of 12 weeks of follow-up for each participant after the first Dato-DXd dose.

This study has one arm, and the study population will consist of 2 independent cohorts (approximately 50 participants in each cohort):

  • Breast cohort (Cohort 1)
  • Lung cohort (Cohort 2)

Participants will receive the study intervention, dexamethasone mouthwash, throughout the duration of their standard of care treatment with Dato-DXd.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Incidence and severity of Dato-DXd treatment-emergent grade ≥ 2 stomatitis in patients receiving prophylactic dexamethasone mouthwash within first 12 weeks of study treatment
Time Frame: From date of first dose of study treatment until 12 weeks after date of first dose of study treatment

Incidence is defined as the proportion of participants who develop National Cancer Institute-Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) v5.0 grade ≥ 2 stomatitis accompanied by either a Normalcy of Diet Subscale score ≤ 50 and/or a Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) oral-pain score of 7 on 2 consecutive days or 8, 9, or 10 on any one day.

Severity will be based on the highest NCI-CTCAE v5.0 grade of stomatitis experienced by each participant.

CTCAE displays Grades 1-5 with descriptions of severity for each adverse event (AE). Grade 1 for mild symptoms and Grade 5 for death related to AE.

The Normalcy of Diet Subscale assesses the degree to which a patient can eat a normal diet and drink liquids. The scale is a ranking of 10 food categories, from easy-to-eat to difficult-to-eat.

The Numeric Rating Scale is a scale for self-reporting of pain. Scores range from 0-10, with higher scores meaning the worst pain possible (0=no pain to 10=worst possible pain).

From date of first dose of study treatment until 12 weeks after date of first dose of study treatment

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Incidence and severity of Dato-DXd treatment-emergent grade ≥ 2 stomatitis
Time Frame: From date of first dose of study treatment until 6 and 9 weeks after date of first dose of study treatment
This will be determined using the composite stomatitis definition in the primary outcome. Will be repeated within 6 weeks and within 9 weeks of study treatment.
From date of first dose of study treatment until 6 and 9 weeks after date of first dose of study treatment
Incidence and severity of treatment-emergent stomatitis overall, by maximum CTCAE grade, and CTCAE grade ≥ 2
Time Frame: From date of first dose of study treatment until 6, 9 and 12 weeks after date of first dose of study treatment
This will be determined using stomatitis CTCAE grade only. Will be analysed at 6, 9 and 12 weeks.
From date of first dose of study treatment until 6, 9 and 12 weeks after date of first dose of study treatment
Time to onset of grade ≥ 2 stomatitis
Time Frame: From date of first dose until earliest of diagnosis of grade ≥2 stomatitis, Dato-DXD discontinuation and death, whichever occurs first, assessed up to approximately 21 months
The time (in days) from the date of the first dose of Dato-DXd to the date of first onset to a grade ≥ 2 stomatitis event. The measure of primary interest is median time to onset.
From date of first dose until earliest of diagnosis of grade ≥2 stomatitis, Dato-DXD discontinuation and death, whichever occurs first, assessed up to approximately 21 months
Time to resolution of Dato-DXd-related grade ≥ 2 stomatitis
Time Frame: From date of diagnosis of grade ≥2 stomatitis until the earliest date of event resolved or reduced in severity to grade 1, assessed up to approximately 21 months
Number of days from the date of onset of stomatitis grade ≥ 2 until the earliest date of event resolved or reduced in severity to grade 1. The measure of primary interest is median time to resolution.
From date of diagnosis of grade ≥2 stomatitis until the earliest date of event resolved or reduced in severity to grade 1, assessed up to approximately 21 months
Proportion of participants with a dose modification for Dato-DXd due to stomatitis
Time Frame: From date of first dose until earliest of Dato-DXD discontinuation and death, assessed up to approximately 21 months
Dose modification is defined as dose reduction, delay, or discontinuation due to stomatitis Treatment-Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE).
From date of first dose until earliest of Dato-DXD discontinuation and death, assessed up to approximately 21 months
Participant adherence to dexamethasone mouthwash
Time Frame: From date of first dose of study treatment until 12 weeks after date of first dose of study treatment
Adherence to dexamethasone mouthwash will be assessed by cohort using the Daily Activities Diary. The measure of primary interest is the median number of swished mouthwashes per day.
From date of first dose of study treatment until 12 weeks after date of first dose of study treatment
Safety and tolerability of Dato-DXd in participants receiving prophylactic dexamethasone mouthwash
Time Frame: From date of first dose of study intervention until 28 days after the last dose (Safety Follow-up), approximately 21 months

Safety and tolerability will be evaluated by cohort in terms of AEs (graded by NCI-CTCAE v5.0) and in terms of the following:

  • Incidence and severity of TEAEs and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), including oral infections (such as fungal infections) associated with the use of the dexamethasone mouthwash
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status
  • Vital signs and physical examination
  • Clinical chemistry, hematology, urinalysis, and coagulation assessments
  • Use of antifungal medication for treating dexamethasone-related fungal infection.
From date of first dose of study intervention until 28 days after the last dose (Safety Follow-up), approximately 21 months
