Disitamab Vedotin

YANTAI, China, Dec. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- On the morning of December 12, 2024 (UTC-6), at the Poster Spotlight Session "Novel HER2 Therapeutics" of the 47th San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS), RemeGen Co. Ltd. ("RemeGen") (9995.HK, 688331.SH) presented for the first time the data from a phase III study (RC48-C006, NCT03500380) of Disitamab Vedotin (DV) in treating patients with HER2-positive advanced breast cancer with liver metastasis (BCLM). This is the first prospective randomized phase III study globally on a HER2-targeting ADC that demonstrated significant efficacy in patients with HER2-positive advanced BCLM. Professor Jiayu Wang from the Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences presented and discussed the study. SABCS is one of the largest and most influential annual conferences focusing on advances in breast cancer clinical research, and this RemeGen sponsored study attracted the attention of experts worldwide. Data shows that about 45% of patients with HER2-positive advanced breast cancer have liver metastasis. This subset has a poor prognosis with a 5-year survival rate of only 8% to 12%, for whom no satisfactory therapies are available now. This is a randomized, open-label, multicenter phase III study comparing the efficacy and safety of DV versus Lapatinib plus Capecitabine in patients with HER2-positive advanced BCLM. A total of 104 patients were enrolled, of whom 53 received DV and 50 received Lapatinib plus Capecitabine. All patients had previously been treated with Trastuzumab and Taxanes. As of data cutoff date (December 31, 2023), according to the assessment by the Independent Review Committee (IRC), DV significantly improved progression-free survival (PFS) versus Lapatinib plus Capecitabine (median: 9.9 months vs. 4.9 months; hazard ratio [HR]: 0.56 [95% CI: 0.35-0.90]), which is consistent with the investigator-assessed PFS (HR: 0.62 [95% CI: 0.39-0.98]). The overall survival (OS) data, though immature, indicated a benefit trend in favor of DV. The safety profile was consistent with past DV use experience, with no new safety signals detected. "This is the first confirmatory phase III study that demonstrated promising efficacy of an HER2-targeting ADC in patients with HER2-positive advanced BCLM," observed Professor Jiayu Wang. DV demonstrated clinically meaningful benefit compared with Lapatinib plus Capecitabine and a manageable safety profile, potentially offering a promising new treatment option for patients with HER2-positive advanced BCLM previously treated with Trastuzumab and Taxanes. The Biologics License Application (BLA) filing for this indication of DV has been accepted by the Center for Drug Evaluation (CDE) of China's National Medical Products Administration in October 2024 and priority review was granted based on the breakthrough therapy designation.

NEW YORK--( BUSINESS WIRE )--Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE) continues to showcase potential practice-changing research and next-generation candidates across its robust Oncology portfolio at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress 2024, being held September 13-17 in Barcelona. Data from more than 50 company-sponsored, investigator-sponsored and collaborative research abstracts, including more than 10 oral and mini-oral presentations, will be presented across the company’s tumor areas and core scientific modalities, as well as a potential treatment for a cancer-related condition. “ At this year’s ESMO, we are looking forward to demonstrating our progress toward delivering next-generation biologics and novel combinations that have the potential to be new standards of care for patients,” said Chris Boshoff, Chief Oncology Officer and Executive Vice President, Pfizer. “ Our key data presentations highlight our scientific leadership in developing targeted therapies, including small molecules and antibody-drug conjugates, across our core tumor areas, including breast, bladder and thoracic cancers.” “ At ESMO, Pfizer will share important data highlighting our commitment to transforming outcomes for patients living with lung cancer, including longer-term follow-up results from the BRAFTOVI + MEKTOVI PHAROS study in BRAF V600E-mutated metastatic non-small cell lung cancer,” said Karin Tollefson, Chief Oncology Medical Officer, Pfizer. “ We are also looking forward to sharing progress on our industry-leading pipeline of new molecules, including encouraging early results for two novel, investigational antibody-drug conjugates and preliminary data on a novel combination of Pfizer’s next-generation CDK inhibitors.” Key research includes a late-breaking presentation of updated results from the pivotal Phase 2 PHAROS* study of BRAFTOVI (encorafenib) + MEKTOVI (binimetinib) in patients with BRAF V600E-mutant metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (mNSCLC). Longer-term efficacy and safety data will be presented, following the initial primary overall response results (ORR) that supported the FDA approval for BRAFTOVI + MEKTOVI in this indication in 2023 and the recent approval by the European Commission in August 2024. Further, Pfizer will share updated data from the safety lead-in of the ongoing Phase 3 BREAKWATER trial, showing antitumor activity of BRAFTOVI + cetuximab + FOLFIRI in patients with untreated BRAF V600E-mutant metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) in a mini-oral presentation. Additionally, Pfizer will present a late-breaking Proffered Paper Presentation on the Phase 2 efficacy and safety results for its GDF-15 inhibitor, ponsegromab, in patients with cancer-associated cachexia, highlighting the company’s commitment to improving the treatment journey for people living with cancer. Cancer cachexia is a common, life-threatening wasting condition characterized by severe weight loss. The condition affects patients with advanced cancers and can greatly impact a patient’s ability to tolerate cancer treatment and quality of life. Despite its severity, there are no FDA-approved treatments for cachexia. i,ii Pfizer will also present early clinical-stage research for a number of priority pipeline areas, including encouraging Phase 1 results of the potential first-in-class antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) candidate SGN-PDL1V (PF-08046054) in NSCLC and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC); initial data for the investigational ADC disitamab vedotin in combination with KEYTRUDA ® (pembrolizumab) in human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-expressing locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer (la/mUC); and the first data combining atirmociclib, our highly-selective cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (CDK4) inhibitor (CDK4i), with a novel CDK2 inhibitor (CDK2i) in hormone receptor-positive (HR+)/HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer (MBC) from a Phase 1 dose-escalation study. Key ESMO Presentations Genitourinary Cancer PADCEV + KEYTRUDA**: additional analysis from the pivotal EV-302 trial continues to support the combination as a new standard of care for patients with previously untreated la/mUC. An exploratory analysis shows PADCEV + KEYTRUDA ® showed consistent progression free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and ORR versus chemotherapy regardless of Nectin-4 or PD-L1 expression. Disitamab Vedotin: preliminary efficacy and safety data for disitamab vedotin in combination with KEYTRUDA highlights Pfizer’s continued commitment to developing novel therapeutics to meet the needs of patients with bladder cancer. Results from the safety run-in of the ongoing Phase 2 trial showed encouraging early efficacy and a safety profile consistent with previously presented data in treatment-naive patients with HER2-expressing la/mUC. Thoracic Cancer SGN-PDL1V (PF-08046054): encouraging Phase 1 results will be presented for PDL1V, a novel, investigational vedotin ADC directed to PD-L1-expressing solid tumors. Data from the dose-escalation and dose optimization cohorts of the ongoing Phase 1 study show PDL1V as monotherapy was generally well tolerated with no unexpected adverse events, and encouraging antitumor activity was observed in patients with heavily pretreated NSCLC and HNSCC. Breast Cancer Atirmociclib (PF-07220060) + PF-07104091 : initial data from a dose-escalation study evaluating the innovative combination of atirmociclib, a potential first-in-class CDK4-selective inhibitor, with PF-07104091, a novel CDK2-selective inhibitor, showed a manageable safety profile and encouraging efficacy in patients with heavily pretreated HR+/HER2- breast cancer. These early results highlight the potential of Pfizer's strategy to advance atirmociclib as a future CDK inhibitor backbone therapy that may address treatment resistance with first generation CDK4/6i, subject to clinical success and regulatory approval. The CDK4i+2i combination is continuing to be explored in an ongoing Phase 1b/2 dose escalation and dose expansion study (NCT05262400). Additional information on the Pfizer-sponsored abstracts, including date and time of presentation, follow in the chart below. Pfizer is continuing its commitment to help non-scientists understand the latest findings with the development of abstract plain language summaries (APLS) for company-sponsored research being presented at ESMO, which are written in non-technical language.
