Summary

Relevant Product Labeling1

SG is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with unresectable locally advanced or mTNBC who have received ≥2 prior systemic therapies, ≥1 of them for metastatic disease.

  • Of the 366 patients with TNBC who were treated with SG, 19% of patients were ≥65 years and 3% were ≥75 years. Patients ≥65 had an increased incidence of neutropenia, including fatal outcomes. No other differences in safety and effectiveness were observed between patients ≥65 years of age and younger patients.

SG is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic HR+, HER2- (IHC 0, IHC 1+ or IHC 2+/ISH-) breast cancer who have received endocrine-based therapy and ≥2 additional systemic therapies in the metastatic setting.

  • Of the 322 patients with HR+/HER2- breast cancer who were treated with SG, 26% of patients were ≥65 years and 6% were ≥75 years. No overall differences in effectiveness were observed between patients ≥65 years of age and younger patients. There was a higher discontinuation rate due to adverse reactions in patients aged ≥65 years (14%) compared with younger patients (3%).

SG Clinical Data in Older Patients With mBC

Post hoc subgroup analyses of patients <65 y and ≥65 y, treated with SG 10 mg/kg IV on Days 1 and 8 of a 21-day cycle (unless noted otherwise) as monotherapy and in combination with pembro are summarized.

Clinical Data of SG Monotherapy

Results from ASCENT, a study in 2L+ mTNBC,2 showed that regardless of age, mPFS and mOS numerically favored SG vs TPC.3

  • mPFS (HR [95% CI]) for SG and TPC, respectively, was 7.1 vs 2.4 mo (0.246 [0.141–0.428]) in patients ≥65 y (n=101), 4.2 vs 1.6 mo (0.45 [0.353–0.573]) in patients <65 y (n=428), and 4.8 vs 1.7 mo (0.414 [0.333–0.516]) in the ITT population (N=529). mOS (HR [95% CI]) for SG and TPC, respectively was 14.7 vs 8.9 mo (0.467 [0.292–0.749]) in patients ≥65 y, 10.8 vs 6.7 mo (0.535 [0.433–0.622]) in patients <65 y, and 11.8 vs 6.9 mo (0.526 [0.433–0.637]) in the ITT population.2,3
  • Older patients in the SG arm had a slightly higher rate of Grade ≥3 TEAEs vs TPC (69 vs 63%). Patients ≥65 y experienced higher rates of TEAEs that led to dose reduction vs patients <65 y (37 vs 19%). The incidence of TEAEs leading to SG treatment discontinuation was 2% in older patients and 5% in the OSP and patients <65 y.3 In older patients treated with SG vs TPC, the most common Grade ≥3 TEAEs were neutropenia (47 vs 40%) and anemia (14 vs 6%). Grade ≥3 diarrhea was reported by 12% of patients receiving SG, there were no reported cases with TPC.3,4

Results of a predefined subgroup analysis from ASCENT-03, an ongoing study in 1L PD-(L)1 inhibitor ineligible mTNBC, showed that mPFS numerically favored SG vs TPC; mPFS (HR [95% CI]) for SG vs TPC, respectively, was 11.1 vs 9 mo (0.91 [0.581.44]) in patients ≥65 y (n=143), 9.6 vs 5.7 mo (0.58 [0.450.74]) in patients <65 y (n=415), and 9.7 vs 6.9 mo (0.66 [0.530.82]) in the ITT population (N=558). Results for OS were immature at the time of the analysis. Safety has not been presented for subgroups.5

Results from TROPiCS-02, a study in pretreated HR+/HER2- mBC,6 showed that regardless of age, mPFS and mOS numerically favored SG vs TPC.7,8

  • mPFS (HR [95% CI]) for SG vs TPC, respectively, was 6.7 vs 3.5 mo (0.59 [0.380.93]) in patients ≥65 y (n=140), 5.5 vs 4.1 mo (0.69 [0.530.89]) in patients <65 y (n=403), and 5.5 vs 4 mo (0.66 [0.530.82]) in the ITT population (N=543). mPFS (HR [95% CI]) in patients ≥65 y with an SG RDI >90% was 6.7 vs 5.5 mo for SG RDIs ≤74 and >74 to ≤90%. mOS (HR [95% CI]) in the SG and TPC arms, respectively was 14.9 vs 10.1 mo (0.8 [0.541.19]) in patients ≥65 y, 14.1 vs 11.5 mo (0.81 [0.641.02]) in patients <65 y, and 14.4 vs 11.2 mo (0.79 [0.650.96]) in the ITT population.6,8,9
  • Older patients in the SG arm had more TEAEs that led to dose reduction and treatment discontinuation vs TPC; 38 vs 28% and 17 vs 5%, respectively. TEAEs within the older SG subgroup led to dose reduction and treatment discontinuation more commonly vs the <65 y subgroup; 38 vs 32% and 17 vs 3%, respectively. Rates of Grade ≥3 TEAEs were similar across age subgroups but occurred at higher rates in patients treated with SG vs TPC; 73 vs 60% and 75 vs 61% in patients <65 and ≥65 y, respectively. In older patients treated with SG vs TPC, the most common Grade ≥3 TEAEs were neutropenia (44 vs 36%) and diarrhea (17 vs 2%).8

ASCENT-07, an ongoing study in 1L post-ET HR+/HER2- mBC, did not meet its primary endpoint of PFS. Results of a predefined subgroup analysis showed that mPFS numerically favored SG vs TPC regardless of age. mPFS (HR [95% CI]) for SG vs TPC, respectively, was 9.7 vs 9.4 mo (0.88 [0.591.30]) in patients    ≥65 y (n=180), 8.3 vs 8.2 mo (0.87 [0.681.1]) in patients <65 y (n=510), and 8.3 vs 8.3 mo (0.88 [0.721.08]) in the ITT population (N=690). OS results were immature at the time of the analysis. Safety has not been presented for subgroups.10

Clinical Data of SG in Combination With Pembro

Results of a predefined subgroup analysis from ASCENT-04, an ongoing study in 1L PD-L1+ mTNBC, showed that mPFS numerically favored SG vs TPC. mPFS (HR [95% CI]) for SG vs TPC, respectively, was 11.1 vs 9.3 mo (0.85 [0.521.39]) in patients ≥65 y (n=115), 11.3 vs 7.5 mo (0.61 [0.450.82]) in patients <65 y (n=328), and 11.2 vs 7.8 mo (0.66 [0.510.85]) in the ITT population (N=443). OS results were immature at the time of the analysis. Safety has not been presented for subgroups.11,12

Real World Data of SG in Older Patients With mBC

A retrospective mTNBC study (N=303), across 18 oncology centers in Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia reported outcomes for SG as monotherapy. mPFS (HR [95% CI]) for patients >65 vs ≤65 y, respectively, was 5.42 vs 4.07 mo (0.716 [0.5340.960], P=0.026); mOS (HR [95% CI]) was 12.81 vs 10.91 mo (0.691 [0.4850.985], P=0.041) respectively. AE-related dose reductions occurred in 46.1% of patients >65 y and 34.8% of patients ≤65 y (P =0.106).13,14

SG Clinical Data in Older Patients With mBC

Post hoc subgroup analyses of patients <65 y and ≥65 y, treated with SG 10 mg/kg IV on Days 1 and 8 of a 21-day cycle (unless noted otherwise) as monotherapy and combination therapy are summarized. The primary endpoint across all SG clinical studies in mBC was mPFS by BICR per RECIST v1.1.

Clinical Data of SG Monotherapy

ASCENT Study in 2L+ mTNBC

An openlabel, randomized, phase 3 study, compared the efficacy and safety of SG (n=267) vs TPC (n=262; eribulin, vinorelbine, capecitabine, or gemcitabine) in patients with refractory or relapsed mTNBC who had received ≥2 prior chemotherapies for unresectable, locally advanced, or metastatic disease. The primary endpoint was mPFS in patients without brain metastasis. In the ITT population, mPFS was 4.8 vs 1.7 mo (HR 0.43; 95% CI 0.350.54), and mOS was 11.8 vs 6.9 mo (HR 0.51; 95% CI 0.410.62) with SG and TPC, respectively.2

Post Hoc Subgroup Analysis in Patients <65 and ≥65 Years

Approximately 19% of patients were ≥65 y, of these, 8 and 13 patients in the SG and TPC arms respectively, were ≥75 y. Most older patients vs patients <65 y were female (99 vs >99%) and White (85 vs 78%).3,15 See Table 1 for select baseline demographics and characteristics.

TROPiCS-02 Study in Pretreated HR+/HER2- mBC

An open-label, randomized, multicenter, phase 3 study, compared the efficacy and safety of SG (n=272) vs TPC (n=271; eribulin, vinorelbine, gemcitabine, capecitabine) in patients with HR+/HER2- mBC who were previously treated with ≥1 taxane, ≥1 endocrine therapy, and ≥1 CDK4/6i in any setting, and who had received ≥2 and ≤4 prior chemotherapy regimens for metastatic disease.6

In the ITT population, mPFS was 5.5 (4.2–7) vs 4 (3.1–4.4) mo (HR, 0.66; 95% CI 0.53–0.83; P=0.0003)6 and mOS was 14.4 (13–15.7) vs 11.2 (10.1–12.7) mo (HR, 0.79; 95% CI 0.65–0.96; P=0.02) for SG and TPC, respectively.9

Post Hoc Subgroup analysis

Safety and efficacy was assessed in patients <65 vs ≥65 y8 and <75 vs ≥75 y7; ≈26% (n=140) were ≥65 y, of those, 24 were ≥75 y. Most older patients were female (SG, 100%; TPC, 99%) and White (SG, 68%; TPC, 64% [race was not reported in 41 older patients]). Baseline characteristics were generally similar across treatments. A higher proportion of patients had an ECOG PS of 1 vs 0 in the ≥65 vs <65 y (Table 7) and the ≥75 vs <75 y subgroups, respectively.7,8

Safety results

Patients ≥65 y treated with SG, experienced more TEAEs that led to dose reduction and treatment discontinuation vs patients ≥65 y treated with TPC. TEAEs in the SG arm that led to dose reduction and treatment discontinuation were more common in patients ≥65 vs those <65 y. Grade ≥3 TEAEs and TEAEs that led to treatment interruptions occurred at higher rates in patients treated with SG vs TPC, and the rates of these TEAEs were similar across age subgroups (Table 11 and Table 12).8 In the ≥75 y subgroup, Grade ≥3 TEAEs were more common vs other subgroups, as were TEAEs that led to dose reductions, however, the small sample size for this subgroup limits interpretation.7
