Abstract

274 Background: Relatively limited clinical data exists for patients who receive T-DXd treatment in the 3L+ setting for HER2-positive unresectable advanced/recurrent gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer. Insufficient data exists on real world patient populations that are likely to be excluded from clinical trials (e.g., elderly patients, those with significant co-morbidities). Therefore, this study was designed to evaluate the real-world clinical effectiveness and safety of T-DXd in patients with HER2-positive gastric cancer. Methods: This study (UMIN000049032) was a real-world, multicenter, non-interventional, retrospective cohort study conducted in Japan. Patients with HER2-positive unresectable advanced/recurrent gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer treated with T-DXd were enrolled. The patients were first administered T-DXd between Sep 2020, when T-DXd became available for clinical use in Japan, and Sep 2021. We followed up on these patients' records until Sep 2022. The endpoints were overall survival (OS), real-world progression-free survival (rwPFS), time to treatment failure (TTF), objective response (ORR), adverse events (AEs) of Grade ≥3, and adverse events leading to dose reduction, interruption, or discontinuation. Results: A total of 318 patients were enrolled, and 312 patients were analyzed, excluding 6 patients due to double enrollment or miss-enrollment (median age 70 years, performance status 0 or 1/≥2 [87%/12%], 43% patients with ascites).…

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a cohort study, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence. Reported size: 318 participants or records.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
