Brief summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ESG401 in patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic HR+/HER2- breast cancer.

Detailed description

This is a open-label, randomized, multicenter Phase 3 study to evaluate ESG401 versus Treatment of Physician's Choice (TPC) in subjects with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic HR+/HER2- breast cancer who had failed at least one line of systemic chemotherapy.

Exclusion criteria

* Received chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, interventional therapy or other systemic anti-cancer therapie within 4 weeks before the first investigational product administration; * Toxicities from prior anti-tumor therapy not recovering to ≤ Grade 1; * Received major surgeries 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study treatment or planned to receive major surgeries during the study ; * Prior topoisomerase I inhibitor therapy, including antibody-drugconjugate(ADC) therapy, or prior TROP2 targeted therapy, or use of any investigational anti-cancer drug within 28 days or 5 half-lives before the first investigational product administration; * New thromboembolic events, intestinal obstruction, gastrointestinal bleeding or perforation within 6 months; * Uncontrolled systemic bacterial, viral or fungal infections; * Subjects with symptomatic or untreated CNS metastases, or those requiring ongoing treatment for CNS metastases; * Patients with Primary CNS malignancy;or patients with other malignancies within 3 years prior to the first dose; * Patients with uncontrollable systemic diseases; * Patients with gastrointestinal diseases (such as chronic gastritis, chronic enteritis or gastric ulcers), or with a previous history of severe or chronic diarrhea; * Subjects with clinically significant cardiovascular disease; * Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection; * Active hepatitis B or hepatitis C; * Known immediate or delayed hypersensitivity reaction to irinotecan or other camptocampin derivatives such as topotecan or to have had grade ≥3 gastrointestinal reactions associated with irinotecan, or allergies, or to any investigational drug or excipient ingredient; * Pregnant or lactating women.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Progression-free survival (PFS) assessed by IRC per RECIST 1.1Up to 24 monthsPFS was defined as the time from randomization to PD or death, whichever occurs first.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Adverse events(AEs) and severe adverse events (SAEs)From signing the ICF up to last dose plus 30 daysIncidence and severity of AEs and SAEs (per CTCAE 5.0), and clinically significant abnormal laboratory findings
Progression-free survival (PFS) assessed by the investigators per RECIST V 1.1Up to 24 monthsPFS was defined as the time from randomization to PD or death, whichever occurs first.
Overall Survival (OS)Up to 24 monthsOS was defined as the time from randomization to death.
Objective Response Rate (ORR)Up to 24 monthsORR was defined as the proportion of of patients with a CR and PR assessed by IRC and investigators per RECIST v 1.1
Quality of life evaluated using the NCC-BC-A scaleUp to 24 monthsTo assess the impact of ESG401 on disease related symptoms and quality of life of patients using the NCC-BC-A scale
Duration of Response (DoR)Up to 24 monthsFrom the date that response criteria are first met to the first occurrence of PD as determined by BIRC and investigators per RECIST v1.1 or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.
ClearanceUp to 24 monthsMean population clearance will be derived from pooled data of drug concentrations. Covariates of influence on drug clearance will be incorporated within a population pharmacokinetic model.
Volume of distributionUp to 24 monthsMean population volume of distribution will be derived from pooled data of drug concentrations. Covariates of influence on volume of distribution will be incorporated within a population pharmacokinetic model.
ADAUp to 24 monthsIncidence of anti-drug antibodies
Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR)Up to 24 monthsCBR was defined as the proportion of patients with a CR or PR or with SD at Week 24 assessed by IRC and investigators per RECIST v 1.1
