7:00 PM – 9:00 PM — Educational Meeting

MODULE 1: Evolving Role of Antibody-Drug Conjugates (ADCs) in the Management of Metastatic Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (mTNBC)

  • Scientific rationale for investigating TROP2-directed ADCs for previously untreated mTNBC
  • Key efficacy and safety data from the Phase III ASCENT-04/KEYNOTE-D19 and ASCENT-03 trials evaluating sacituzumab govitecan in combination with pembrolizumab and as monotherapy for patients with previously untreated PD-L1-positive and PD-L1-negative mTNBC, respectively
  • Recently published data from the Phase III TROPION-Breast02 study of first-line datopotamab deruxtecan (Dato-DXd) versus chemotherapy for patients with advanced TNBC for whom immunotherapy was not an option
  • Potential roles of sacituzumab govitecan and Dato-DXd for previously untreated mTNBC
  • Updated data with trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) in the subset of patients with previously treated hormone receptor (HR)-negative, HER2-low advanced breast cancer in the Phase III DESTINY-Breast04 study; current role alongside other treatment options
  • Clinical trial findings with and ongoing investigation of other ADCs for mTNBC, such as sacituzumab tirumotecan and izalontamab brengitecan

MODULE 2: Integrating ADCs into the Management of HER2-Positive Metastatic Breast Cancer (mBC)

  • Historical outcomes with standard HER2-targeted therapies for newly diagnosed HER2-positive mBC; rationale for the evaluation of HER2-targeted ADCs in the front-line setting
  • Published efficacy and safety findings from the Phase III DESTINY-Breast09 trial documenting the benefit of T-DXd/pertuzumab versus taxane/trastuzumab/pertuzumab as first-line therapy for HER2-positive mBC
  • Implications of the DESTINY-Breast09 trial for sequencing therapies for HER2-positive mBC
  • Intracranial efficacy documented with T-DXd in published clinical trials, including DESTINY-Breast01, 02 and 03, DESTINY-Breast12, DEBBRAH and TUXEDO-1; implications for the management of HER2-positive mBC
  • Outcomes documented among patients with previously treated HER2-positive mBC without CNS involvement in pivotal clinical studies of T-DXd
  • Other promising HER2-directed ADCs under investigation for HER2-positive mBC

MODULE 3: Role of ADCs in the Management of Endocrine-Resistant HR-Positive mBC

  • Long-term efficacy and safety findings from the Phase III TROPiCS-02 trial of sacituzumab govitecan for previously treated HR-positive, HER2-negative mBC
  • Optimal integration of sacituzumab govitecan into management algorithms for HR-positive, HER2-negative disease
  • Available efficacy and safety findings from the Phase III TROPION-Breast01 study of Dato-DXd versus investigator’s choice of chemotherapy for pretreated HR-positive, HER2-negative mBC
  • FDA approval of Dato-DXd for patients with HR-positive, HER2-negative mBC who have previously received endocrine-based therapy and chemotherapy; current clinical role
  • Available data from the DESTINY-Breast04 and DESTINY-Breast06 studies evaluating T-DXd versus chemotherapy for patients with previously treated HER2-low and HER2-ultralow advanced breast cancer
  • FDA approval of T-DXd for advanced HR-positive, HER2-low and HER2-ultralow breast cancer progressing after one or more endocrine therapies in the metastatic setting; optimal incorporation into disease management

MODULE 4: Emerging Utility of ADCs for Localized Breast Cancer

  • Key clinical factors in the selection of neoadjuvant and adjuvant systemic therapy for patients with HER2-positive localized breast cancer; effect of various therapeutic approaches on outcomes
  • Published findings from the Phase III DESTINY-Breast11 study evaluating T-DXd as a component of neoadjuvant therapy for patients with high-risk, HER2-positive localized breast cancer
  • Recently presented data from the Phase III DESTINY-Breast05 study of T-DXd versus T-DM1 for patients with high-risk HER2-positive breast cancer and residual invasive disease after neoadjuvant therapy
  • Implications of the DESTINY-Breast11 and DESTINY-Breast05 studies for the management of HER2-positive localized breast cancer
  • 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.

TARGET AUDIENCE
This program is intended for medical oncologists, hematologists, hematology-oncology fellows, radiation oncologists, surgeons and other allied healthcare professionals involved in the treatment of breast cancer.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Appreciate the incidence of trophoblast cell surface antigen 2 (TROP2) overexpression in patients with breast cancer and the ramifications for prognosis and management.
  • Consider published clinical research data with TROP2-directed antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) for patients with metastatic breast cancer in order to optimally integrate available agents into routine clinical care.
  • Discern the side effects and toxicities associated with FDA-approved TROP2-directed ADCs used in the care of patients with metastatic breast cancer, and identify strategies to manage and mitigate them.
  • Evaluate the scientific justification for the use of TROP2-directed ADCs in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy or in earlier lines of treatment, including the adjuvant setting, and reflect on ongoing trials investigating these approaches.
