Warnings
Interstitial Lung Disease/Pneumonitis
DATROWAY can cause severe, life-threatening, or fatal interstitial lung disease (ILD) or pneumonitis.
Locally Advanced or Metastatic NSCLC
- In the pooled safety population of 484 patients with NSCLC from TROPION-Lung01, TROPION-Lung05, and TROPION-PanTumor01, ILD/pneumonitis occurred in 7% of patients treated with DATROWAY, including 0.6% of patients with Grade 3 and 0.4% with Grade 4. There were 8 (1.7%) fatal cases. The median time to onset for ILD was 1.4 months (range: 0.2 months to 9 months). Eleven patients (2.3%) had DATROWAY withheld and 20 patients (4.1%) permanently discontinued DATROWAY due to ILD/pneumonitis. Systemic corticosteroids were required in 79% (26/33) of patients with ILD/pneumonitis. ILD/pneumonitis resolved in 45% of patients.
Unresectable or Metastatic Breast Cancer
- In the pooled safety population of 443 patients with breast cancer from TROPION-Breast01 and TROPION-PanTumor01, ILD/pneumonitis occurred in 3.6% of patients treated with DATROWAY, including 0.7% of patients with Grade 3. There was one fatal case (0.2%). The median time to onset for ILD was 2.8 months (range: 1.1 months to 10.8 months). Four patients (0.9%) had DATROWAY withheld and 7 patients (1.6%) permanently discontinued DATROWAY due to ILD/pneumonitis. Systemic corticosteroids were required in 60% (9/15) of patients with ILD/pneumonitis. ILD/pneumonitis resolved in 40% of patients.
- Monitor patients for new or worsening respiratory symptoms indicative of ILD/pneumonitis (e.g., dyspnea, cough, fever) during treatment with DATROWAY. For asymptomatic (Grade 1) ILD/pneumonitis, consider corticosteroid treatment (e.g., ≥0.5 mg/kg/day prednisolone or equivalent). For symptomatic ILD/pneumonitis (Grade 2 or greater), promptly initiate systemic corticosteroid treatment (e.g., ≥1 mg/kg/day prednisolone or equivalent) and continue for at least 14 days followed by gradual taper for at least 4 weeks.
Ócular Adverse Effects
- DATROWAY can cause ocular adverse reactions including dry eye, keratitis, blepharitis, meibomian gland dysfunction, increased lacrimation, conjunctivitis, and blurred vision.
- In the pooled safety population, ocular adverse reactions occurred in 36% of patients treated with DATROWAY. Twenty patients (2.2%) experienced Grade 3 ocular adverse reactions, which included keratitis, dry eye, and blurred vision, and one patient experienced a Grade 4 ocular adverse reaction of conjunctival hemorrhage. The most common (≥5%) ocular adverse reactions were dry eye (17%), keratitis (14%), and increased lacrimation (7%). The median time to onset for ocular adverse reactions was 2.3 months (range: 0.03 months to 23.2 months). Of the patients who experienced ocular adverse reactions, 39% had complete resolution, and 10% had partial improvement (defined as a decrease in severity by one or more grades from the worst grade at last follow up). Ocular adverse reactions led to dosage interruption in 3.6% of patients, dosage reductions in 2.5% of patients, and permanent discontinuation of DATROWAY in 1% of patients.
- Advise patients to use preservative-free lubricant eye drops several times daily for prophylaxis. Advise patients to avoid use of contact lenses unless directed by an eye care professional.
- Refer patients to an eye care professional for an ophthalmic exam including visual acuity testing, slit lamp examination (with fluorescein staining), intraocular pressure, and fundoscopy at treatment initiation, annually while on treatment, at end of treatment, and as clinically indicated.
Stomatitis
- DATROWAY can cause stomatitis, including mouth ulcers and oral mucositis.
- In the pooled safety population, stomatitis occurred in 63% of patients treated with DATROWAY, including 8% of patients with Grade 3 events and one patient with a Grade 4 reaction. The median time to first onset of stomatitis was 0.5 months (range: 0.03 months to 18.6 months). Stomatitis led to dosage interruption in 6% of patients, dosage reductions in 11% of patients, and permanent discontinuation of DATROWAY in 0.5% of patients.
- In patients who received DATROWAY in TROPION-Breast01, 39% used a mouthwash containing corticosteroid for management or prophylaxis of stomatitis/oral mucositis at any time during the treatment.
- Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of stomatitis. If stomatitis occurs, increase the frequency of mouthwash and administer other topical treatments as clinically indicated.
Embryo-Fetal Toxicity
- Based on its mechanism of action, DATROWAY can cause embryo-fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman because the topoisomerase inhibitor component of DATROWAY, DXd is genotoxic and affects actively dividing cells
- Advise patients of the potential risk to a fetus. Advise female patients of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with DATROWAY and for 7 months after the last dose. Advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with DATROWAY and for 4 months after the last dose.

Pharmacology
There is limited information regarding Datopotamab deruxtecan-dlnk Pharmacology in the drug label.
Mechanism of Action
- Datopotamab deruxtecan-dlnk, is a Trop-2-directed antibody-drug conjugate. The antibody is a humanized anti-Trop2 IgG1. The small molecule, DXd, is a topoisomerase I inhibitor attached to the antibody by a cleavable linker. Following binding to Trop-2 on cells, including tumor cells, datopotamab deruxtecan-dlnk undergoes internalization and intracellular linker cleavage by lysosomal enzymes. Upon release, the membrane-permeable DXd causes DNA damage and apoptotic cell death. Datopotamab deruxtecan-dlnk had anti-tumor activity in mouse models of lung cancer including EGFR-mutated and breast cancer.
Structure
- DATROWAY (datopotamab deruxtecan-dlnk) for injection is a sterile, white to yellowish white, preservative-free lyophilized powder in single-dose vials. Each vial delivers 100 mg of datopotamab deruxtecan-dlnk, L-histidine (3.88 mg), L-histidine hydrochloride monohydrate (5.25 mg), polysorbate 80 (1.50 mg), and sucrose (450 mg). Following reconstitution with 5 mL of Sterile Water for Injection, USP, the resulting concentration of datopotamab deruxtecan-dlnk is 20 mg/mL with a pH of 6.0. The resulting solution is administered by intravenous infusion following dilution.

Pharmacodynamics
- Datopotamab deruxtecan-dlnk time course of pharmacodynamic response is unknown.
- Exposure-Response Relationships
- A relationship between datopotamab deruxtecan-dlnk exposure and efficacy has not been fully characterized in breast cancer or EGFR-mutated NSCLC.
- In the pooled population of NSCLC (including EGFR-mutated NSCLC) and breast cancer patients, higher datopotamab deruxtecan-dlnk systemic exposure is associated with a higher incidence rate of serious adverse reactions, dosage interruptions, dose reductions, stomatitis/oral mucositis, ocular adverse reactions, and Grade ≥3 adverse reactions.
Cardiac Electrophysiology
- At datopotamab deruxtecan-dlnk doses up to 10 mg/kg (1.7 times the recommended dose), mean increase in the QTc interval >20 ms was not observed.
Pharmacokinetics
- Datopotamab deruxtecan-dlnk and DXd exposure after the first dose of the approved recommended dosage of cycle 1 are provided in Table 8. Datopotamab deruxtecan-dlnk and released DXd maximum concentration (Cmax) and area under the time-concentration curve (AUC) increases proportionally over a dose range of 4 mg/kg to 10 mg/kg (approximately 0.7 to 1.7 times the approved recommended dosage). No clinically significant datopotamab deruxtecan-dlnk accumulation occurs between cycles 1 and 3.
Table 8
Distribution
- Datopotamab deruxtecan-dlnk mean steady state volume of distribution is 3.5 (23%) L.
- DXd plasma protein binding is approximately 98% and the blood-to-plasma concentration ratio is 0.6 in vitro.
Elimination
- The datopotamab deruxtecan-dlnk median elimination half-life (t1/2) is 4.8 days (1.0, 8.2) and the released DXd median apparent t1/2 is approximately 5.5 days (3.2, 8.8). * The estimated datopotamab deruxtecan-dlnk clearance is 0.6 (31.5%) L/day.
Metabolism
- Datopotamab deruxtecan-dlnk undergoes intracellular cleavage by lysosomal enzymes to release DXd.
- The humanized Trop-2 IgG1 monoclonal antibody is expected to be degraded into small peptides and amino acids via catabolic pathways in the same manner as endogenous IgG.
- In vitro, DXd is primarily metabolized by CYP3A4.
Specific Populations
- The mean volume of distribution and clearance of datopotamab deruxtecan-dlnk and DXd increase with increasing body weight (36 kg to 156 kg).
- No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of datopotamab deruxtecan-dlnk or DXd were observed based on age (26 to 86 years), race (Asian, White, or Black), sex, mild hepatic impairment (total bilirubin ≤ULN and any AST >ULN or total bilirubin >1 to 1.5 times ULN and any AST), or mild to moderate renal impairment (CLcr 30 to <90 mL/min).
- The pharmacokinetics of datopotamab deruxtecan-dlnk in patients with moderate hepatic impairment (total bilirubin >1.5 to 3 times ULN and any AST) was comparable to patients with normal hepatic function (total bilirubin and AST ≤ULN). The steady state average DXd AUC was 2.4-fold higher in patients with moderate hepatic impairment compared to patients with normal hepatic function. The effect of severe hepatic impairment (total bilirubin >3 times ULN and any AST) or severe renal impairment (CLcr <30 mL/min) on datopotamab deruxtecan-dlnk or DXd pharmacokinetics is unknown.
Immunogenicity There is insufficient information from TROPION-Breast01, TROPION-Lung01, and TROPION-Lung05 to characterize the anti-drug antibody response to datopotamab deruxtecan-dlnk and the effects of anti-drug antibodies on pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, safety, or effectiveness of datopotamab deruxtecan-dlnk products.
Nonclinical Toxicology
Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility
- Carcinogenicity studies have not been conducted with datopotamab deruxtecan-dlnk.
- The topoisomerase inhibitor component of datopotamab deruxtecan-dlnk, DXd, was clastogenic in both an in vivo rat bone marrow micronucleus assay and an in vitro Chinese hamster lung chromosome aberration assay and was not mutagenic in an in vitro bacterial reverse mutation assay.
- Dedicated fertility studies have not been conducted with datopotamab deruxtecan-dlnk. In a 3-month repeat-dose toxicity study, intravenous administration of datopotamab deruxtecan-dlnk once every 3 weeks in rats resulted in decreased weights in the testes and epididymides, degeneration of the germinal epithelium and atrophy of seminiferous tubules in testes, and cell debris, decreased number of sperm, and single-cell necrosis of the ductal epithelium in epididymides at 200 mg/kg (approximately 29 times the human recommended dose of 6 mg/kg based on AUC). Findings in female rats included increased atretic follicles in the ovary and single cell necrosis of mucosal epithelium in the vagina at 200 mg/kg. These findings, except for the lesions in the testis and epididymis, were not observed after a 2-month recovery period.
Clinical Studies
Locally Advanced or Metastatic EGFR-Mutated Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
- The efficacy of DATROWAY was evaluated in a pooled subgroup of patients with locally advanced or metastatic EGFR-mutated NSCLC who were enrolled across two clinical studies: TROPION-Lung05 and TROPION-Lung01.
- TROPION-Lung05 (NCT04484142) was a global, multicenter, single-arm, open-label trial in patients with previously treated NSCLC with an actionable genomic alteration and TROPION-Lung01 (NCT04656652) was a global, multicenter, randomized, active-controlled, open-label trial in patients with previously treated NSCLC with or without an actionable genomic alteration. For both trials, eligible patients with EGFR-mutated NSCLC must have previously received an EGFR-directed therapy and platinum-based chemotherapy. Patients with a history of ILD/pneumonitis requiring treatment with steroids, ongoing ILD/pneumonitis, or clinically significant corneal disease at screening were ineligible. Patients who had brain metastases that were untreated and symptomatic were also ineligible. Patients received DATROWAY 6 mg/kg by intravenous infusion every 3 weeks until unacceptable toxicity or disease progression.
- For the pooled efficacy population, the major efficacy outcome measure was overall response rate (ORR) by BICR per RECIST v1.1. An additional efficacy outcome was duration of response (DOR) by BICR.
- Efficacy was assessed in 114 patients with EGFR-mutated NSCLC. The median age was 63 years (range 36 to 81); 43% were ≥65 years of age; 63% were female; 70% were Asian and 22% were White; 1.8% were of Hispanic/Latino ethnicity; 68% had ECOG PS of 1 and 32% had ECOG PS of 0; and 33% had brain metastases at baseline. Fifty-three percent (53%) of patients had tumors with exon 19 deletions, 34% had exon 21 L858R mutations, 28% had T790M mutations, 2.6% had exon 20 insertion mutations and 14% had other EGFR mutations. Four percent (4.4%) of patients received one prior line of systemic therapy, 39% received two prior lines of systemic therapy, and 57% received three or more prior lines of systemic therapy in the locally advanced or metastatic setting. All patients received prior EGFR-directed therapy including 84% receiving prior osimertinib; 99% received prior platinum-based chemotherapy and 28% received prior anti-PD-1/ PD-L1 therapy.

Unresectable or Metastatic, HR-Positive, HER2-Negative Breast Cancer TROPION-Breast01
- The efficacy of DATROWAY was evaluated in TROPION-Breast01 (NCT05104866), a multicenter, open-label, randomized trial of 732 patients with unresectable or metastatic HR-positive, HER2-negative (IHC 0, IHC1+ or IHC2+/ISH-) breast cancer. Eligible patients must have progressed on and deemed not suitable for further endocrine therapy. Patients were required to have received 1 or 2 lines of prior chemotherapy in the unresectable or metastatic disease setting. Patients were excluded for a history of ILD/pneumonitis requiring treatment with steroids, ongoing ILD/pneumonitis, clinically active brain metastases, or clinically significant corneal disease at screening. Patients were also excluded for ECOG performance status >1. Randomization was stratified by previous lines of chemotherapy (one or two), prior treatment with a CDK4/6 inhibitor (yes or no), and geographical region.
- A total of 732 patients were randomized 1:1 to receive either DATROWAY 6 mg/kg (N=365) by intravenous infusion every 3 weeks or investigator's choice of chemotherapy (N=367) until unacceptable toxicity or disease progression. Single agent chemotherapy was determined by the investigator before randomization from one of the following choices: eribulin (60%), capecitabine (21%), vinorelbine (10%), or gemcitabine (9%).
- The major efficacy outcomes were progression-free survival (PFS) as assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR) based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v.1.1 and overall survival (OS).
