About

This is a Phase II, interventional, prospective, single-arm, multi-center study that will enroll patients with stage II/III triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) who have residual cancer burden (RCB) II/III after conventional neoadjuvant chemo-immunotherapy followed by surgery. Technological advances in ctDNA assays have improved both the sensitivity and reliability of molecular residual disease (MRD) detection to enable real-time measurement with clinical-grade assays.

The primary objective of this study will be to evaluate ctDNA-based MRD status in high-risk, early-stage TNBC patients by defining the proportion of TNBC patients with MRD-only recurrence (ctDNA positive without radiographically measurable recurrence) during post-surgery surveillance. The secondary objectives will evaluate the safety, preliminary efficacy, and survival outcomes of using Dato-DXd in participants with MRD-only TNBC.

Dato-DXd is an investigational antibody-drug conjugate (monoclonal antibody specific for TROP2 and a topoisomerase I (Topo-1) inhibitor) that has demonstrated promising efficacy in TNBC patients with a manageable safety profile.

Full description

Despite treatment advances, patients with II/III triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) residual disease post-neoadjuvant therapy, particularly patients with higher residual cancer burden (RCB II/III), remain at high risk for developing recurrence. Furthermore, early detection of relapse risk, when the residual disease burden is micrometastatic (defined here as undetectable by standard cross-sectional imaging), provides a chance for disease eradication whereas macrometastatic disease (i.e., detectable on standard cross-sectional imaging) is generally considered to be non-curable.

There are no standard of care (SOC) surveillance strategies for early detection of micrometastatic disease in high-risk TNBC beyond clinical monitoring. Detecting molecular residual disease (MRD) is a promising approach to identifying patients at increased risk of recurrence after definitive therapy, who may benefit from the escalation of their treatment and remain potentially curable with effective systemic therapy.
