Patritumab Deruxtecan

Recommendation based on TROPION-Breast02 phase 3 trial where Daiichi Sankyo and AstraZeneca’s Datroway showed a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement for the dual primary endpoints of overall survival and progression-free survival If approved, Datroway has potential to be the first TROP2 directed antibody drug conjugate for patients in EU with a demonstrated overall survival benefit as first-line treatment TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Datroway ® (datopotamab deruxtecan) has been recommended for approval in the European Union (EU) as monotherapy for the first-line treatment of adult patients with unresectable or metastatic triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) who are not candidates for PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor therapy. Datroway is a specifically engineered TROP2 directed DXd antibody drug conjugate (ADC) discovered by Daiichi Sankyo (TSE: 4568) and being jointly developed and commercialized by Daiichi Sankyo and AstraZeneca (LSE/STO/NYSE: AZN). The Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) based its positive opinion on results from the TROPION-Breast02 phase 3 trial, which were presented at the 2025 European Society for Medical Oncology Congress and published in Annals of Oncology . The recommendation will now be reviewed by the European Commission, which has the authority to grant marketing authorizations for medicines in the EU. In TROPION-Breast02, Datroway demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful 5.0-month improvement in median overall survival (OS) versus investigator’s choice of chemotherapy (hazard ratio [HR]=0.79; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.64-0.98; p=0.0291). Median OS was 23.7 months for patients treated with Datroway versus 18.7 months for those treated with chemotherapy. Datroway reduced the risk of disease progression or death by 43% compared to chemotherapy (HR=0.57; 95% CI: 0.47-0.69; p<0.0001) as assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR). Median progression-free survival (PFS) was 10.8 months for patients treated with Datroway versus 5.6 months for those treated with chemotherapy in patients with metastatic TNBC who are not candidates for PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor therapy. Datroway was also associated with more robust treatment responses compared to chemotherapy, with an objective response rate (ORR) of 62.5% versus 29.3% for those treated with chemotherapy. “Triple negative breast cancer remains one of the most aggressive types of breast cancer, with limited treatment options for patients with metastatic disease who are not candidates for immunotherapy and are currently treated with traditional chemotherapy,” said John Tsai, MD, Global Head, R&D, Daiichi Sankyo. “This positive recommendation by the CHMP underscores the potential for Datroway to replace traditional chemotherapy in this setting and we look forward to working closely with the EMA to bring this new indication to patients in the EU.” “As one of the hardest cancers to treat, today only 15% of patients with metastatic triple negative breast cancer survive beyond five years,” said Susan Galbraith, MBBChir, PhD, Executive Vice President, Oncology Hematology R&D, AstraZeneca. “This positive opinion from the CHMP marks an important step forward in bringing the potential of Datroway to transform outcomes for patients with this type of cancer in the EU.” The safety pro Datroway (6 mg/kg) was evaluated in 319 patients with TNBC who received Datroway in TROPION-Breast02. The most common (≥20%) adverse reactions, including laboratory abnormalities, were stomatitis, increased amylase, nausea, alopecia, decreased hemoglobin, decreased white blood cells, constipation, decreased calcium, decreased lymphocytes, fatigue, decreased neutrophils, increased alanine aminotransferase, increased aspartate aminotransferase, dry eye, keratitis, decreased albumin, vomiting, musculoskeletal pain, decreased sodium and increased blood alkaline phosphatase. Serious adverse reactions occurred in 17% of patients who received Datroway. Serious adverse reactions in more than 1% of patients who received Datroway included pneumonia, vomiting, COVID-19 and anemia. One patient fatality was attributed to interstitial lung disease/pneumonitis. Datroway was approved in the U.S. in May 2026 for the treatment of adult patients with unresectable or metastatic TNBC who are not candidates for PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor therapy. Additional reviews are underway in China and Japan, as well as Australia, Canada, Singapore and Switzerland as part of Project Orbis. About TROPION-Breast02 TROPION-Breast02 is a global, multicenter, randomized, open-label phase 3 trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of Datroway versus investigator’s choice of chemotherapy (paclitaxel, nab-paclitaxel, capecitabine, carboplatin or eribulin) in patients with previously untreated locally recurrent inoperable or metastatic TNBC for whom immunotherapy was not an option. This included patients whose tumors did not express PD-L1 as well as patients with PD-L1 expressing tumors who could not receive immunotherapy due to prior exposure in early-stage disease, comorbidities or immunotherapy not being accessible in their geography. Enrollment included patients with de novo or recurrent disease, regardless of disease-free interval, and those with poor prognostic factors such as stable brain metastases. The dual primary endpoints of TROPION-Breast02 are OS and PFS as assessed by BICR. Secondary endpoints include PFS as assessed by investigator, ORR, duration of response, disease control rate, pharmacokinetics and safety. TROPION-Breast02 enrolled 644 patients at sites in Africa, Asia, Europe, North America and South America. For more information visit ClinicalTrials.gov . About Triple Negative Breast Cancer TNBC accounts for approximately 15% of all breast cancer cases, with an estimated 345,000 diagnoses globally each year. 1,2 In Europe, there are an estimated 83,000 diagnoses of TNBC each year. 1,3 TNBC is diagnosed more frequently in younger and premenopausal women, and is more prevalent in Black and Hispanic women. 4,5,6 Metastatic TNBC is the most aggressive type of breast cancer and has one of the worst prognoses, with median OS of just 12 to 18 months and only about 15% of patients living five years following diagnosis. 4,7,8 While some breast cancers may test positive for estrogen receptors, progesterone receptors or overexpression of HER2, TNBC tests negative for all three. 4 Due to its aggressive nature and absence of common breast cancer receptors, TNBC is characteristically difficult to treat. 4 For patients with metastatic disease with PD-L1 expressing tumors, the addition of immunotherapy to chemotherapy has improved outcomes in the first-line setting. 9,10 However, for approximately 70% of patients with metastatic TNBC who are not candidates for immunotherapy, chemotherapy was the standard first-line treatment. 11 TROP2 is a protein broadly expressed in several solid tumors, including TNBC. 12 TROP2 is associated with increased tumor progression and poor survival in patients with breast cancer. 13,14 About Datroway Datroway (datopotamab deruxtecan; datopotamab deruxtecan-dlnk in the U.S. only) is a TROP2 directed ADC.

The expected launch of these therapies shall further create a positive impact on the market. Aparna Thakur, an oncology expert at DelveInsight, said that Exon 20 insertion has emerged as a key competitive arena, with the approvals of RYBREVANT and ZEGFROVY creating a new market segment, while several late-stage candidates, including furmonertinib and zipalertinib, are further heightening the competitive landscape. EGFR Inhibitors Market Analysis Treatment approaches for EGFR-mutated NSCLC have advanced significantly over the last two decades with the development of targeted EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). First-generation agents such as erlotinib and gefitinib, followed by second-generation therapies including afatinib and dacomitinib, and later the third-generation TKI osimertinib, have consistently demonstrated improved clinical outcomes over conventional chemotherapy in terms of response rates and survival. Osimertinib additionally addresses the T790M resistance mutation, although acquired resistance continues to limit long-term efficacy, leaving post-TKI treatment strategies an ongoing clinical challenge. Currently, osimertinib continues to serve as the global standard of care for EGFR-mutant NSCLC, supported by robust progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) benefits along with extensive regulatory approvals across multiple disease stages. At the same time, amivantamab is emerging as a strong competitor, broadening its role beyond EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations through combination approaches involving lazertinib and chemotherapy. Competitive intensity within the market is increasing with the arrival of newer therapies such as datopotamab deruxtecan, sunvozertinib, and aumolertinib. Real-world evidence from the 7MM highlights the continued dominance of EGFR TKIs in treatment practice, particularly the widespread frontline adoption of osimertinib, while chemotherapy and immunotherapy continue to play roles in later-line settings and in patients harboring uncommon mutations such as exon 20 insertions. Cetuximab (ERBITUX), an anti-EGFR IgG1 monoclonal antibody, is projected to retain a steady but mature market presence in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) and head and neck cancers. Its position is reinforced by extensive clinical experience, a well-established efficacy profile, and approvals from major regulatory agencies, including the U.S. FDA, EMA, and PMDA. In mCRC, cetuximab remains especially relevant in biomarker-driven settings, particularly among patients with EGFR-expressing and RAS wild-type tumors. Its utility is further strengthened through combination regimens with targeted agents such as encorafenib for BRAF V600E-mutated disease and adagrasib for KRAS G12C-mutated tumors. In head and neck cancers, cetuximab continues to see stable use in combination therapies and among patients who are unsuitable for certain systemic or immunotherapy-based approaches. Nevertheless, despite sustained clinical utilization across key markets, market expansion is expected to be moderate owing to product maturity, biosimilar competition, and the growing adoption of newer targeted therapies and immuno-oncology treatments. EGFR exon 20 insertion-positive NSCLC remains particularly challenging to manage with conventional TKIs. Following the withdrawal of mobocertinib, amivantamab became the primary approved therapeutic option in this segment. However, the approval of sunvozertinib in 2025 has intensified competition, while additional TKIs such as furmonertinib and zipalertinib continue to advance through clinical development. The emergence of ADCs such as PF-08046054 (Pfizer), Patritumab Deruxtecan (Daiichi Sankyo/AstraZeneca), Sacituzumab Tirumotecan (MK-2870) (Merck/Kelun-Biotech), SYS6010 (CSPC Pharmaceutical), Izalontamab Brengitecan (BMS-986507) (Bristol-Myers Squibb), Telisotuzumab Adizutecan (Temab-A/ABB-400) (AbbVie), and others, and next-generation targeted therapies is further reshaping and intensifying the competitive dynamics within the EGFR NSCLC treatment landscape. Learn more about the fastest growing EGFR inhibitor market @ EGFR Inhibitors Analysis EGFR Inhibitors Competitive Landscape Some of the emerging EGFR inhibitors in the clinical trial landscape include Zipalertinib (CLN-081) (Cullinan Oncology/Taiho Pharma), Firmonertinib (ArriVent BioPharma), Ivonescimab (SMT112) (Akeso Biopharma/Summit Therapeutics), PF-08046054 (Pfizer), Patritumab Deruxtecan (Daiichi Sankyo/AstraZeneca), Sacituzumab Tirumotecan (MK-2870) (Merck/Kelun-Biotech), SYS6010 (CSPC Pharmaceutical), JMT101 (Shanghai JMT-Bio), Izalontamab Brengitecan (BMS-986507) (Bristol-Myers Squibb), Telisotuzumab Adizutecan (Temab-A/ABB-400) (AbbVie), LP-300 (Lantern Pharma), WSD0922-FU (Wayshine Biopharm), Sutetinib (Teligene US), Quaratusugene ozeplasmid (REQORSA) (Genprex), JIN-A02 J (Ints Bio), Silevertinib (BDTX-1535) (Black Diamond Therapeutics), BH-30643 (BlossomHill Therapeutics), STX-241/PFL-241 (Scorpion Therapeutics/Pierre Fabre), STX-721/PFL-271 (Antares Therapeutics), A2B395 (A2 Biotherapeutics), BNT326 (YL 202) (BioNTech), DF9001 (Dragonfly Therapeutics), Pamvatamig (MCLA-129) (Merus), TAS3351 (Taiho Oncology), DB-1310 (DualityBio), Enozertinib (ORIC-114) (ORIC Pharmaceuticals), BG-60366 (BeOne Medicines), and others. Akeso's ivonescimab (AK112, SMT112) is a novel PD-1/VEGF bispecific antibody and the first agent of its kind to advance into Phase III clinical testing. Developed using the company's proprietary Tetrabody platform, the therapy is designed to simultaneously inhibit PD-1 interactions with PD-L1 and PD-L2 while also blocking VEGF from binding to its receptors. Simultaneous inhibition of the PD-1 and VEGF pathways has demonstrated notable clinical benefits across several cancers, including NSCLC, renal cell carcinoma, and hepatocellular carcinoma. By integrating both mechanisms into a single therapeutic molecule, ivonescimab may enable broader pathway suppression and potentially provide superior antitumor efficacy compared with conventional combination approaches. The US FDA has accepted Summit Therapeutics' Biologics License Application (BLA) for ivonescimab, supported by findings from the Phase III HARMONi trial, and has set a PDUFA action date of November 14, 2026. ArriVent BioPharma and Shanghai Allist Pharmaceuticals' Firmonertinib, previously referred to as furmonertinib, is an orally administered, mutation-selective EGFR inhibitor recognized for its strong CNS penetration and activity against a broad spectrum of EGFR mutations, including uncommon variants such as PACC and Exon 20 insertion mutations. The therapy is currently being investigated in the global Phase III FURVENT trial (NCT05607550) as a first-line option for NSCLC patients with EGFR Exon 20 insertion mutations. At the same time, the global Phase Ib FURTHER study (NCT05364043) is evaluating its efficacy in patients with EGFR PACC mutations. In addition, firmonertinib is being explored in combination regimens for advanced or metastatic NSCLC with classical EGFR mutations through a collaboration with InnoCare Pharma. Cullinan Therapeutics and Taiho Pharma's Zipalertinib is a next-generation, irreversible oral EGFR inhibitor specifically developed to selectively target tumors carrying EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations while sparing wild-type EGFR activity. Preclinical findings indicate that this mutant-selective design may help mitigate the toxicities commonly associated with inhibition of wild-type EGFR. The molecule's distinct chemical structure is also intended to minimize HER2 inhibition, thereby improving selectivity further. Due to its targeted mechanism and encouraging clinical data, zipalertinib is gaining attention as a potential treatment option for EGFR exon 20 insertion-mutated NSCLC. Taiho Pharmaceutical and Cullinan Therapeutics recently announced that the FDA has accepted the NDA for zipalertinib for patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC harboring EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations whose disease progressed after platinum-based chemotherapy, with or without prior amivantamab treatment. The application has been assigned a PDUFA target date of February 27, 2027. The anticipated launch of these emerging therapies are poised to transform the EGFR inhibitors market landscape in the coming years.

What are EGFR Inhibitors? EGFR inhibitors are a class of targeted therapies designed to block the activity of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), a protein that plays a critical role in regulating cell growth, survival, and proliferation. In many cancers, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), colorectal cancer, head and neck cancer, and glioblastoma, EGFR is either overexpressed or mutated, leading to uncontrolled tumor growth. EGFR inhibitors work by interfering with the signaling pathways activated by this receptor, thereby slowing or stopping cancer cell proliferation. These therapies are broadly categorized into tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), which target the intracellular kinase domain of EGFR, and monoclonal antibodies, which bind to the extracellular portion of the receptor. Over the past decade, EGFR inhibitors have transformed the treatment landscape of several solid tumors by enabling more personalized and biomarker-driven therapeutic approaches.
