Disitamab vedotin (RC48-ADC), an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), combines specific antibody disitamab with cytotoxicity monomethyl auristatin E to effectively target the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) protein on tumor cells for precise elimination. Recent studies have demonstrated that RC48-ADC offers therapeutic benefits for patients with HER2-positive and HER2-low-expression breast cancer (BC). However, a thorough exploration of its efficacy and safety in real-world settings for patients with metastatic breast cancer (mBC) is currently lacking.
This retrospective, multicenter, real-world study included patients with mBC who received RC48-ADC from September 2021 to March 2024. These patients include HER2-positive BC and HER2-low-expression BC. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). Secondary endpoints included overall survival (OS), restricted mean survival time, objective response rate (ORR), and disease control rate (DCR). Factors affecting efficacy and the occurrence of treatment-related adverse events (TRAE) were evaluated.
The study included a cohort of 89 patients with mBC, with 48 of those being identified as HER2-positive. As of March 2024, 22 deaths were recorded, with an immature median OS. Total PFS varied from 1.0 to 31.2 months, with a median of 5.5 months (95% CI, 4.368-6.632). HER2-positive patients exhibited prolonged PFS compared with HER2-low-expression patients (6.6 months vs 4.1 months, P = .023). The overall ORR stood at 25.8% (95% CI, 0.178-0.358), with higher rates observed in HER2-positive patients compared with HER2-low-expression patients (31.3% vs 19.5%). Similarly, the overall DCR was 78.7% (95% CI, 0.691-0.859), with HER2-positive patients demonstrating superior DCR compared with HER2-low-expression patients (83.3% vs 73.2%). Notably, HER2 expression emerged as the primary determinant of RC48-ADC efficacy. The most prevalent TRAE among all patients included leukopenia (21.3%) and alopecia (20.2%).
RC48-ADC showcases promising efficacy and manageable safety in patients with both HER2-positive and HER2-low-expression mBC.
迪西他单抗维泊妥珠单抗(RC48-ADC)是一种抗体药物偶联物(ADC),它将特异性抗体迪西他单抗与细胞毒性药物单甲基奥瑞他汀E结合,可有效靶向肿瘤细胞上的人表皮生长因子受体2(HER2)蛋白,实现精准清除。近期研究表明,RC48-ADC对HER2阳性和HER2低表达乳腺癌(BC)患者具有治疗益处。然而,目前尚缺乏对其在转移性乳腺癌(mBC)患者真实世界中的疗效和安全性的全面探索。
这项回顾性、多中心、真实世界研究纳入了2021年9月至2024年3月接受RC48-ADC治疗的mBC患者。这些患者包括HER2阳性BC和HER2低表达BC。主要终点为无进展生存期(PFS)。次要终点包括总生存期(OS)、受限平均生存时间、客观缓解率(ORR)和疾病控制率(DCR)。评估了影响疗效和治疗相关不良事件(TRAE)发生的因素。
该研究纳入了89例mBC患者队列,其中48例被确定为HER2阳性。截至2024年3月,记录到22例死亡,中位OS尚未成熟。总PFS为1.0至31.2个月,中位值为5.5个月(95%CI,4.368 - 6.632)。与HER2低表达患者相比,HER2阳性患者的PFS更长(6.6个月对4.1个月,P = 0.023)。总体ORR为25.8%(95%CI,0.178 - 0.358),HER2阳性患者的ORR高于HER2低表达患者(31.3%对19.5%)。同样,总体DCR为78.7%(95%CI,0.691 - 0.859),HER2阳性患者的DCR优于HER2低表达患者(83.3%对73.2%)。值得注意的是,HER2表达是RC48-ADC疗效的主要决定因素。所有患者中最常见的TRAE包括白细胞减少(21.3%)和脱发(20.2%)。
RC48-ADC在HER2阳性和HER2低表达mBC患者中展现出了有前景的疗效和可管理的安全性。
