Background
• Human epidermal growth factor receptor 3 (HER3) is expressed in 83% of NSCLC tumors¹
- Overexpression of HER3 in NSCLC has been associated with poor clinical outcomes¹
• Patients with advanced NSCLC without EGFR-activating mutations (EGFRM) have limited
treatment options after failure of molecularly targeted therapies or platinum-based
chemotherapy (PBC) with or without immunotherapy (IO)2,3
⚫ Patritumab deruxtecan (HER3-DXd) is an antibody-drug conjugate (Figure 1)

*The dinical relevance of these features is under investigation.
Eased on animal data
⚫ We previously reported efficacy and safety data for HER3-DXd in heavily pretreated patients
with EGFRm NSCLC (all had prior EGFR TKI therapy and 80% had prior PBC)10
- In 57 patients receiving HER3-DXd 5.6 mg/kg IV every 3 weeks (Q3W), the confirmed objective response
rate (ORR) by blinded independent central review (BICR; Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors
[RECIST] version 1.1) was 39% (95% CI, 26.0%-52.4%), and median progression-free survival (PFS) was
8.2 months (95% CI, 4.4-8.3 months)
- Clinical activity was observed across a broad range of HER3 membrane expression levels and mechanisms
of EGFR TKI resistance
• Here we describe the efficacy and safety results of HER3-DXd in patients with advanced
NSCLC without common EGFRm whose disease progressed after treatment with PBC ± 10
Conclusions
• Similar to the previously reported observations in patients with EGFRm NSCLC, HER3-DXd
showed promising clinical activity in heavily pretreated patients with advanced NSCLC with
or without identified variant genomic alterations
- Durable antitumor activity was seen in patients with variant identified driver genomic
alterations and patients without such genomic alterations
⚫ The overall safety profile of HER3-DXd was manageable and similar to that previously
reported in patients with EGFRm NSCLC
⚫ These results demonstrate the promising clinical activity of HER3-DXd in patients with
NSCLC harboring a broad range of genomic alterations or without identified driver genomic
alterations, and they warrant further clinical evaluation

Methods
• U31402-A-U102 is an ongoing phase 1 dose-escalation and dose-expansion study in patients with
NSCLC (Figure 2; ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03260491; EudraCT, 2017-000543-41; JapicCTI, 194868)
- Here we report data from the dose-expansion part, cohort 2; all patients had squamous or nonsquamous NSCLC without
the common Ex19del, L858R, L861Q, or G719X mutations
-Patients with stable brain metastases were eligible
- Patients with non-EGFR oncogenic alterations were eligible provided that they had prior treatment with ≥1 targeted
therapy, if available
- All patients received HER3-DXd 5.6 mg/kg IV Q3W
• The primary endpoint was confirmed ORR by BICR per RECIST 1.1
Secondary endpoints included disease control rate, time to response, duration of response, PFS, and
safety
Results
• At the January 28, 2022, data cutoff, 47 patients in
cohort 2 had been treated with HER3-DXd 5.6 mg/kg
IV Q3W (Tables 1 and 2)
In this heavily pretreated cohort, all patients had prior PBC and
45 of 47 had prior IO (Table 1)
-Most patients had adenocarcinoma (74%; Figure 3)
- 21 patients had identified driver genomic alterations (Figure 3)
⚫ Median follow-up was 19.7 months (range, 13.8-29.2
months)
•
Confirmed responses by BICR were observed in
patients with NSCLC harboring a range of driver
genomic alterations and also with NSCLC without such
genomic alterations (Figures 4 and 5)
