ESMO Reactions: TROPiCS-2

Author

Overall survival (OS) results from the phase III TROPiCS-02 study of sacituzumab govitecan (SG) vs treatment of physician's choice (TPC) inpatients with HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer.

Abstract #LBA76: Hope Rugo presented interim OS results from the P3 TROPiCS-02 trial, which compared sacituzumabgovitecan (SG) (n=272) vs physician’s choice (n=271) in heavily pre-treated HR+/HER2- endocrine-resistant, unresectable locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer.

Results: SGdemonstrated significant improvement in OS (median: 14.4 vs 11.2 months for TPC),and significant improvement in objective response rate (21% vs 14%) and quality of life.

TROPICS-2-Result

Thought leader reactions were moderately positive, with several welcoming any OS benefit in a population with limited treatment options. Comparisons to recent PFS data were positive:

However, some questioned the importance ofan overall survival benefit of only three months:

Several commentators hope and expect FDA approval for sacituzumab govitecan in this population:

One KOL would like to know the impact of this data on Trop-2 negative breast cancer patients and wonders why Trop-2 expression was not assessed.

Summary:

This interim analysis of TROPiCS-2 OS data represents a positive step for this small population with limited treatment options. Some, however, consider the data only “incremental” or “modest”instead of game changing. Still, thought leaders expect FDA approval for sacituzumabgovite can in this population.

79% had reduction in disease. ORR 31%. Many responses deepen over time.

Median DOR not yet reached. Median OS 13.9 mo. 12 mo OS was 54%. As typical with immunotherapy, we see a nice tail on the curve. #TIL#SITC22

Important work on efficacy of TIL therapy lifileucel in PD-1 resistant #melanoma being presented at #SITC22. Pretty good durability for this heavy lift of a treatment.

Toxicity profile was in line with prior TIL/Lifileucel data. No surprises here. Median # doses of IL-2 was 6.

Absolutely agree!… this should be available to our melanoma patients ASAP!… and paves the way for smarter cellular therapies to be designed, studied, and eventually widely disseminated

Where does this leave us with #TIL therapy for #melanoma? IMO, this response rate/durability justifies accelerated approval. Pts with PD-1 refractory melanoma need options. It’s FAR from a perfect tx but provides meaningful clinical benefit. What say you melanoma Twitterverse?
