CDSCO panel Approves AstraZeneca's Protocol Amendment proposal for Datopotamab Deruxtecan study
New Delhi: The Subject Expert Committee (SEC) functional under the Central Drug Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO) has approved AstraZeneca's protocol amendment proposal to study anticancer drug Datopotamab Deruxtecan (DATODXT, DS-106)
This came after the firm presented protocol amendment 3.0 version 4.0 dated 30 July 2024, protocol no. D926PC00001. This is a study of Dato-DXd Versus the Investigator's choice chemotherapy in Patients with Locally Recurrent Inoperable or Metastatic Triple-negative Breast Cancer who are not candidates for PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor therapy.
Dato-DXd is a combination of a humanized anti-TROP2 antibody and a topoisomerase I inhibitor payload. The antibody binds to TROP2, a protein that's overexpressed in tumors and associated with increased aggressiveness and metastasis. The payload is then released, which targets DNA topoisomerase I and inhibits DNA replication, resulting in tumor cell death.
Dato-DXd is being studied in clinical trials for multiple cancers, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), and HR-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer.
At the recent SEC meeting for Oncology held on 23rd October 2024, the expert panel reviewed the protocol amendment 3.0 version 4.0 dated 30 July 2024 protocol no. D926PC00001.
After detailed deliberation, the committee recommended the approval of the protocol amendment as presented by the firm.
