  • Ongoing Phase III trials, such as ASCENT-05, ADAPT-TN-III, ADAPT-TN-IV, TROPION-Breast04, TROPION-Breast05, TroFuse-012 and TroFuse-032, evaluating TROP2 ADCs as a component of neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy for localized disease; estimated completion dates

MODULE 5: Tolerability Considerations with ADCs for Breast Cancer

  • Spectrum, incidence and severity of common and unique adverse events (AEs) with different ADCs employed in the management of breast cancer
  • Monitoring and management of acute “chemotherapy-like” AEs reported with ADCs, such as cytopenias and gastrointestinal events
  • Recommended algorithms for mitigating more serious (eg, interstitial lung disease, left ventricular dysfunction) or unique (eg, oral mucositis/stomatitis, ocular AEs) toxicities documented with one or more ADCs
  • Strategies to distinguish the cause of AEs that could be attributable to either agent in ADC-containing combination regimens
  • Impact on tolerability, if any, of the placement of ADCs in the treatment course (eg, later-line therapy for metastatic disease, first-line therapy for metastatic disease or neoadjuvant/adjuvant therapy)

Target Audience
This activity is intended for medical and radiation oncologists, hematologists, hematology-oncology fellows, general and breast surgeons and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of breast cancer.

Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to

  • Assess available Phase III data with HER2-directed antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) therapy as a component of neoadjuvant therapy for patients with high-risk localized breast cancer, and consider the current clinical role of this novel treatment approach.
  • Evaluate current research evidence with HER2-directed ADC therapy for patients with HER2-positive localized breast cancer and residual disease after neoadjuvant treatment.
  • Appraise available research data and relevant clinical and biological factors guiding the selection of first-line therapy for patients with newly diagnosed HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer (mBC).
  • Review published research supporting TROP2-directed ADC therapy in combination with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies for triple-negative mBC, and use this information to make appropriate treatment recommendations.
  • Evaluate published clinical research findings with TROP2-directed ADC monotherapy for HR-positive and triple-negative mBC, and optimally incorporate these agents into clinical care.
  • Assess the biological rationale for the evaluation of HER2-directed ADCs for HER2-low and HER2-ultralow mBC, and identify patients appropriate for this treatment approach.
  • Discern the side effects and toxicities associated with FDA-approved ADCs in the care of patients with breast cancer, and identify strategies to manage and mitigate these complications.
  • Recall ongoing trials evaluating the potential role of novel ADC-based strategies in the localized and metastatic settings, and appropriately counsel patients with breast cancer regarding enrollment.
