Trastuzumab deruxtecan (DS-8201a), a HER2-targeting antibody-drug conjugate with topoisomerase I inhibitor payload, shows antitumor activity in uterine and ovarian carcinosarcoma with HER2/neu expression.
Gynecologic Oncology 2023 January 6
OBJECTIVES: Carcinosarcomas are highly aggressive gynecologic malignancies containing both carcinomatous and sarcomatous elements with heterogeneous HER2/neu expression and limited therapeutic options. We compared the efficacy of trastuzumab deruxtecan (DS-8201a), a novel HER2/neu-targeting antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) to an ADC isotype control (MAAA-9199) against primary uterine and ovarian carcinosarcomas in vitro and in vivo.
METHODS: Twelve primary carcinosarcoma (CS) cell lines were evaluated for HER2/neu surface expression by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and by flow cytometry, and gene amplification by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) assays. The in vitro experiments included cytotoxicity and bystander killing effect assays on three cell lines of variable HER2/neu expression. In vivo activity was studied in a mouse CS xenograft model of 3+ HER2/neu uterine CS.
RESULTS: In vitro studies showed that DS-8201a was highly effective against uterine and ovarian CS cell lines demonstrating 3+ HER2/neu expression compared to MAAA-9199 control; there was no significant improvement in the 0 HER2/neu CS cell line. However, DS-8201a induced efficient bystander killing of 0 HER2/neu tumor cells when admixed with 3+ HER2/neu cells. In vivo studies confirmed that DS-8201a was more effective than MAAA-9199 in 3+ HER2/neu-expressing CS xenografts.
CONCLUSION: DS-8201a may represent a novel and highly effective ADC against HER2/neu-expressing CS.
