Background: Although patients (pts) with hormone receptor-positive (HR+)/HER2-negative breast cancer (BC) frequently experience disease response to neoadjuvant therapy, fewer than 10% achieve a pathologic complete response (pCR) with standard chemotherapy or endocrine therapy, even in combination with CDK4/6 inhibitors. Thus, finding more effective therapies for this disease remains an unmet need. HER2 is expressed at a low level (IHC 1+ or 2+) in approximately 60-70% of HR+ BC. Trastuzumab deruxtecan (DS-8201a, T-DXd) is a novel HER2-targeting antibody drug conjugate (ADC) that is FDA approved in the US for HER2-positive and HER2-low metastatic BC (with boxed warnings for interstitial lung disease). However, the efficacy of T-DXd in the neoadjuvant setting is not known. The primary objective of TALENT (TRIO-US B-12, NCT04553770) is to evaluate the clinical activity and safety of neoadjuvant T-DXd alone or in combination with endocrine therapy in pts with HR+/HER2-low early BC. Methods: Men and women with previously untreated, operable invasive early stage, non-recurrent, HR+, HER2-low (IHC 1+ or 2+/ISH- by local or central review) BC measuring > 2 cm were eligible. In stage 1 of clinical trial, participants were randomized 1:1 to receive T-DXd (5.4 mg/kg IV q21 days) alone, Arm A, or in combination with anastrozole AI (1 mg PO QD), Arm B. Originally 6 cycles (cy) were given but in 02/2022, an amendment increased the number of treatment cy from 6 to 8 for newly enrolled pts, or those who had not yet had surgery. Men and pre/peri-menopausal women randomized to Arm B also received a GnRH agonist. Stratification factors were HER2 expression (1+ vs. 2+) and menopausal status (men as postmenopausal). Tumor tissue collected at baseline, cy 1 day 17-21, and at surgery. Breast imaging performed at baseline, cy 2 and pre-surgery/EOT. Primary endpoint is pCR rate (ypT0/is ypN0) at surgery. In stage 1, intent was to randomize 58 pts (if at least 2 pCR occurred in an arm, arm progresses to Stage 2 and an additional 15 pts to be enrolled). Other endpoints include safety, objective response rate (ORR), changes in Ki67 expression, Residual Cancer Burden index, exploratory biomarker analysis, and health-related quality of life. Here we present results from stage 1 of the trial. Results: From 09/21/2020 to 10/13/2022, 58 pts were enrolled and treated (29 Arm A, 29 Arm B) in stage 1 of trial. Five pts came off study before completing study therapy (2 after cy 1, 2 after cy 2, 1 after cy 3). As of data cut-off (10/05/2022), 33 pts completed study treatment and have had surgery (17 Arm A, 16 Arm B), 13 are on treatment and 7 are pending surgery; 27 pts completed 6 cy and 13 completed 8 cy. Baseline characteristics were balanced between arms. 19/58 pts were Stage IIA, 26/58 Stage IIB, 12/58 Stage IIIA, and 1/58 Stage IIIB at baseline. 46/58 pts had baseline HER2 expression (from central review) of 1+, 4/58 were 0, 6/58 were 2+, 1/58 had multicentric lesion 1+ and 2+, and 1/58 had a single lesion with 1+ and 2+. In Arm A, 1/17 pt had pCR after 8 cy, 2/17 pts had RCB-I after 6 cy (17.6% RCB 0/1). In Arm B, 1/16 pt had RCB-I after 8 cy (6.3%). The ORR for response-evaluable pts in Arm A was 75% (12/16, 1 CR, 11 PR) and in Arm B was 63.2% (12/19, 2 CR, 10 PR); 1 patient (Arm B) had PD. ILD occurred in 1 pt (1.7%), Gr 2 and resolved 11 days after stopping therapy. Most common treatment-related Grade ≥ 3 AEs in Arms A and B, respectively, include hypokalemia (1.7%, 5.2%), diarrhea (3.4%, 3.4%), neutropenia (3.4%, 1.7%), fatigue (1.7%, 3.4%), headache (3.4%, 1.7%), vomiting (3.4%, 1.7%), dehydration (1.7%, 1.7%) and nausea (3.4%, 0%). Conclusions: This is the first report of a trial evaluating neoadjuvant T-DXd in HER2 low breast cancer. T-DXd +/- endocrine therapy demonstrates promising clinical activity for pts with HR+ BC. Updated study results will be provided at the time of presentation. Citation Format: Aditya Bardia, Sara Hurvitz, Michael F. Press, Lisa S. Wang, Nicholas P.
