Rhea-AI Filing Summary

AstraZeneca PLC (AZN) has received accelerated FDA approval for Datroway (datopotamab deruxtecan, Dato-DXd) to treat adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has progressed after EGFR-directed therapy and platinum chemotherapy. The decision makes Datroway the first and only TROP2-directed therapy authorised in the US for lung cancer.

The approval was granted on the strength of the TROPION-Lung05 Phase II subgroup (n=114) and supported by TROPION-Lung01 Phase III data. Datroway delivered a confirmed objective response rate of 45 % (95 % CI: 35-54) with a median duration of response of 6.5 months; 4.4 % achieved complete responses and 40 % partial responses. Safety across 125 pooled patients was consistent with prior findings, with no new safety concerns.

Financially, AstraZeneca owes partner Daiichi Sankyo a US$45 million milestone payment upon approval. However, US product sales will be recognised by Daiichi Sankyo under the July 2020 collaboration agreement, limiting immediate top-line impact for AZN. Datroway is already approved in >30 countries for HR-positive/HER2-negative breast cancer, and more than 20 ongoing trials (eight Phase III in lung cancer) aim to broaden indications and move the drug earlier in treatment lines.

The FDA classified the submission as Priority Review and had previously granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation. Because the approval is accelerated, continued marketing depends on confirmatory clinical benefit, data expected from ongoing Phase III trials (TROPION-Lung14 & Lung15).

Strategically, the decision reinforces AstraZeneca’s growing antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) franchise alongside Enhertu and deepens its NSCLC portfolio (Tagrisso, Imfinzi, Imjudo). While near-term revenue is limited, successful commercial uptake and future label expansions could materially enhance long-term oncology growth.

AstraZeneca PLC (AZN) ha ottenuto la approvazione accelerata dalla FDA per Datroway (datopotamab deruxtecan, Dato-DXd) per il trattamento di pazienti adulti con carcinoma polmonare non a piccole cellule (NSCLC) mutato in EGFR localmente avanzato o metastatico, che ha progredito dopo terapia diretta contro EGFR e chemioterapia a base di platino. Questa decisione rende Datroway la prima e unica terapia diretta contro TROP2 autorizzata negli Stati Uniti per il cancro polmonare.

L’approvazione si basa sui dati del sottogruppo della fase II TROPION-Lung05 (n=114) e sui dati di supporto della fase III TROPION-Lung01. Datroway ha mostrato un tasso di risposta obiettiva confermata del 45 % (IC 95 %: 35-54) con una durata mediana della risposta di 6,5 mesi; il 4,4 % ha ottenuto risposte complete e il 40 % risposte parziali. La sicurezza, valutata su 125 pazienti complessivi, è risultata coerente con i dati precedenti, senza nuovi problemi di sicurezza.

Dal punto di vista finanziario, AstraZeneca deve versare al partner Daiichi Sankyo un pagamento milestone di 45 milioni di dollari al momento dell’approvazione. Tuttavia, le vendite del prodotto negli USA saranno riconosciute da Daiichi Sankyo in base all’accordo di collaborazione del luglio 2020, limitando l’impatto immediato sui ricavi di AZN. Datroway è già approvato in oltre 30 paesi per il cancro al seno HR-positivo/HER2-negativo, e più di 20 studi clinici in corso (otto di fase III nel cancro polmonare) mirano ad ampliare le indicazioni e a spostare il farmaco in linee di trattamento precoci.

La FDA ha classificato la domanda come Revisione Prioritaria e aveva precedentemente concesso la Designazione di Terapia Innovativa. Poiché l’approvazione è accelerata, la commercializzazione continua dipende dalla conferma del beneficio clinico, dati attesi dagli studi di fase III in corso (TROPION-Lung14 e Lung15).

Strategicamente, la decisione rafforza la crescente linea di coniugati anticorpo-farmaco (ADC) di AstraZeneca accanto a Enhertu e amplia il portafoglio NSCLC (Tagrisso, Imfinzi, Imjudo). Sebbene i ricavi a breve termine siano limitati, un buon successo commerciale e future estensioni di indicazione potrebbero incrementare significativamente la crescita oncologica a lungo termine.

AstraZeneca PLC (AZN) ha recibido la aprobación acelerada de la FDA para Datroway (datopotamab deruxtecan, Dato-DXd) para tratar a pacientes adultos con cáncer de pulmón no microcítico (NSCLC) mutado en EGFR localmente avanzado o metastásico que ha progresado después de la terapia dirigida contra EGFR y quimioterapia con platino. Esta decisión convierte a Datroway en la primera y única terapia dirigida a TROP2 autorizada en EE.UU. para cáncer de pulmón.

La aprobación se basó en el subgrupo de la fase II TROPION-Lung05 (n=114) y fue apoyada por datos de la fase III TROPION-Lung01. Datroway mostró una tasa de respuesta objetiva confirmada del 45 % (IC 95 %: 35-54) con una duración mediana de la respuesta de 6,5 meses; el 4,4 % logró respuestas completas y el 40 % respuestas parciales. La seguridad en 125 pacientes combinados fue consistente con hallazgos previos, sin nuevas preocupaciones de seguridad.

Financieramente, AstraZeneca debe pagar a su socio Daiichi Sankyo un pago por hito de 45 millones de dólares tras la aprobación. Sin embargo, las ventas del producto en EE.UU. serán reconocidas por Daiichi Sankyo bajo el acuerdo de colaboración de julio de 2020, limitando el impacto inmediato en los ingresos de AZN. Datroway ya está aprobado en más de 30 países para cáncer de mama HR-positivo/HER2-negativo, y más de 20 ensayos en curso (ocho de fase III en cáncer de pulmón) buscan ampliar las indicaciones y adelantar el uso del medicamento en las líneas de tratamiento.

La FDA clasificó la presentación como Revisión Prioritaria y previamente otorgó la Designación de Terapia Innovadora. Debido a que la aprobación es acelerada, la comercialización continua depende de la confirmación del beneficio clínico, datos que se esperan de los ensayos de fase III en curso (TROPION-Lung14 y Lung15).

Estrategicamente, la decisión refuerza la creciente franquicia de conjugados anticuerpo-fármaco (ADC) de AstraZeneca junto con Enhertu y profundiza su portafolio de NSCLC (Tagrisso, Imfinzi, Imjudo). Aunque los ingresos a corto plazo son limitados, una adopción comercial exitosa y futuras expansiones de indicación podrían mejorar significativamente el crecimiento oncológico a largo plazo.

AstraZeneca PLC (AZN) hat die beschleunigte Zulassung der FDA für Datroway (Datopotamab Deruxtecan, Dato-DXd) zur Behandlung erwachsener Patienten mit lokal fortgeschrittenem oder metastasiertem EGFR-mutiertem nicht-kleinzelligem Lungenkrebs (NSCLC) erhalten, der nach EGFR-gerichteter Therapie und Platin-Chemotherapie fortgeschritten ist. Diese Entscheidung macht Datroway zur ersten und einzigen TROP2-gerichteten Therapie, die in den USA für Lungenkrebs zugelassen ist.

Die Zulassung basiert auf der Phase-II-Subgruppenstudie TROPION-Lung05 (n=114) und wird durch Daten der Phase-III-Studie TROPION-Lung01 gestützt. Datroway erzielte eine bestätigte objektive Ansprechrate von 45 % (95 % KI: 35-54) mit einer medianen Ansprechdauer von 6,5 Monaten; 4,4 % erreichten komplette Remissionen und 40 % partielle Remissionen. Die Sicherheit bei 125 gepoolten Patienten entsprach den bisherigen Erkenntnissen, ohne neue Sicherheitsbedenken.

Finanziell muss AstraZeneca seinem Partner Daiichi Sankyo eine Meilensteinzahlung von 45 Millionen US-Dollar bei Zulassung leisten. Allerdings werden US-Produktumsätze gemäß der Kooperationsvereinbarung vom Juli 2020 von Daiichi Sankyo verbucht, was den unmittelbaren Umsatzimpact für AZN begrenzt. Datroway ist bereits in über 30 Ländern für HR-positiven/HER2-negativen Brustkrebs zugelassen, und mehr als 20 laufende Studien (acht Phase-III-Studien bei Lungenkrebs) zielen darauf ab, die Indikationen zu erweitern und das Medikament früher in der Behandlung einzusetzen.

Die FDA klassifizierte die Einreichung als Priority Review und hatte zuvor die Breakthrough Therapy Designation vergeben. Da es sich um eine beschleunigte Zulassung handelt, hängt die fortgesetzte Vermarktung von der Bestätigung des klinischen Nutzens ab, wobei Daten aus laufenden Phase-III-Studien (TROPION-Lung14 & Lung15) erwartet werden.

Strategisch stärkt die Entscheidung die wachsende Antikörper-Wirkstoff-Konjugat (ADC)-Franchise von AstraZeneca neben Enhertu und erweitert das NSCLC-Portfolio (Tagrisso, Imfinzi, Imjudo). Obwohl kurzfristige Umsätze begrenzt sind, könnten ein erfolgreicher Markteintritt und zukünftige Zulassungserweiterungen das langfristige Wachstum im Onkologie-Bereich deutlich steigern.

Positive
  • FDA accelerated approval expands AstraZeneca’s marketed oncology portfolio and marks the first TROP2-directed lung cancer therapy.
  • Strong efficacy signal with 45 % ORR and 6.5-month DoR in heavily pre-treated EGFRm NSCLC patients.
  • Priority Review and Breakthrough Therapy Designation underscore unmet-need relevance and may speed broader reimbursement uptake.
  • Strategic fit strengthens AZN’s ADC platform alongside Enhertu, enhancing long-term growth prospects in oncology.
Negative
  • Limited near-term revenue: US sales booked by Daiichi Sankyo, reducing immediate top-line impact for AstraZeneca.
  • US$45 million milestone expense payable to Daiichi Sankyo upon approval, a direct cost to AZN.
  • Regulatory uncertainty: approval is conditional on confirmatory trials; failure could lead to withdrawal.
  • Competitive landscape: future entrants in TROP2 or EGFRm spaces could erode market share.

Insights

TL;DR: Approval boosts AZN’s oncology pipeline but carries limited near-term revenue and a US$45 m cost.

The FDA nod validates AstraZeneca’s ADC strategy and diversifies its NSCLC arsenal beyond Tagrisso. Datroway addresses a clear unmet need—post-EGFR progression patients—with a respectable 45 % ORR. Because Daiichi Sankyo books US sales, financial upside for AZN rests on royalties and downstream ex-US launches; near-term P&L impact is instead a US$45 million milestone expense. Importantly, accelerated approval heightens regulatory risk: failure to confirm benefit could remove the drug from market. Still, positive Phase III PFS data versus docetaxel reduce that risk. Overall, the event is strategically positive, signalling momentum in ADCs and potential future revenue, though investors should temper expectations for immediate earnings accretion.

TL;DR: Strategically meaningful; financially neutral in the short run, positive optionality long term.

This accelerated approval strengthens AstraZeneca’s competitive positioning in lung cancer and ADCs, a hot growth area drawing premium valuations. The milestone payment is immaterial (<0.1 % of 2024 operating profit), and lack of US revenue recognition caps near-term EPS impact. However, successful confirmatory trials could unlock significant global sales—consensus peak for Datroway (all indications) is ~US$4-5 bn, with profit-sharing economics varying by region. Risk profile is balanced: confirmatory failure or safety signals would damage credibility, yet robust Phase III data offer a cushion. I consider the news incrementally bullish for the stock’s multiple, supporting the oncology narrative without changing FY-25 guidance.

Da es sich um eine beschleunigte Zulassung handelt, hängt die fortgesetzte Vermarktung von der Bestätigung des klinischen Nutzens ab, wobei Daten aus laufenden Phase-III-Studien (TROPION-Lung14 & Lung15) erwartet werden.

Strategisch stärkt die Entscheidung die wachsende Antikörper-Wirkstoff-Konjugat (ADC)-Franchise von AstraZeneca neben Enhertu und erweitert das NSCLC-Portfolio (Tagrisso, Imfinzi, Imjudo). Obwohl kurzfristige Umsätze begrenzt sind, könnten ein erfolgreicher Markteintritt und zukünftige Zulassungserweiterungen das langfristige Wachstum im Onkologie-Bereich deutlich steigern.

Datroway approved in US for EGFRm lung cancer
 
 
24 June 2025
 
Datroway approved in the US for patients with previously treated advanced EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer
 
Based on TROPION-Lung05 results and supported by data from TROPION-Lung01  
 
First and only TROP2-directed therapy approved in the US for the treatment of lung cancer
 
Datroway (datopotamab deruxtecan or Dato-DXd) has been approved in the US for the treatment of adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have received prior EGFR-directed therapy and platinum-based chemotherapy.
 
This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on objective response rate (ORR) and duration of response (DoR). Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory trial.
 
The approval follows Priority Review and Breakthrough Therapy Designation by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) based on results from a subgroup analysis of the TROPION-Lung05 Phase II trial and supported by data from the TROPION-Lung01 Phase III trial.
 
Jacob Sands, MD, Medical Oncology, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and investigator in both trials, said: "Addressing disease progression in patients with advanced EGFR-mutated lung cancer after prior targeted therapy and chemotherapy is very challenging with limited later-line treatment options available. The US approval of datopotamab deruxtecan introduces a novel and needed treatment option to patients with advanced disease."
 
Dave Fredrickson, Executive Vice President, Oncology Haematology Business Unit, AstraZeneca, said: "This first approval of Datroway in lung cancer provides a much-needed option to patients with advanced EGFR-mutated lung cancer whose disease has become resistant to past treatments, regardless of the driving mutation. We have long supported patients with EGFR-mutated lung cancer and are proud to bring another innovative treatment option to this community."
 
Ken Keller, Global Head of Oncology Business, and President and CEO, Daiichi Sankyo, Inc, said: "With today's accelerated approval, Datroway is now the first TROP2-directed medicine available for certain patients in the US living with lung cancer. We remain committed to our extensive clinical development programme to further identify where Datroway may be used in other types of lung and breast cancer."
 
Andrea E. Ferris, President and CEO, LUNGevity, said: "For people with advanced EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer whose disease progresses on initial treatments, additional options are limited. Today's approval of Datroway offers a new treatment option for patients whose disease has progressed following treatment with an EGFR-directed therapy and chemotherapy."
 
In TROPION-Lung05 and TROPION-Lung01, Datroway demonstrated a confirmed ORR of 45% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 35-54) in patients with previously treated locally advanced or metastatic EGFR-mutated NSCLC (n=114) as assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR). Complete responses were seen in 4.4% of patients and partial responses were seen in 40% of patients. The median DoR was 6.5 months (95% CI: 4.2-8.4).
 
The safety profile of Datroway was evaluated in a pooled analysis of 125 patients in the TROPION-Lung05, TROPION-Lung01 and TROPION-PanTumor01 trials. The safety profile observed across these trials was consistent with the known profile of this medicine with no new safety concerns identified. 
 
Datroway is a specifically engineered TROP2-directed DXd antibody drug conjugate (ADC) discovered by Daiichi Sankyo and being jointly developed and commercialised by AstraZeneca and Daiichi Sankyo.
 
AstraZeneca and Daiichi Sankyo are evaluating Datroway alone and with Tagrisso (osimertinib) in other advanced or metastatic EGFR-mutated NSCLC settings in the TROPION-Lung14 and TROPION-Lung15 Phase III trials.
 
Financial considerations 
Following approval in the US, an amount of $45 million is due from AstraZeneca to Daiichi Sankyo as a milestone payment for the locally advanced or metastatic EGFR-mutated NSCLC indication. Sales of Datroway in the US are recognized by Daiichi Sankyo. For further details on the financial arrangements, please consult the collaboration agreement from July 2020.
 
Notes
 
Advanced non-small cell lung cancer
Nearly 2.5 million lung cancer cases were diagnosed globally in 2022.1 Lung cancer is broadly split into small or non-small cell lung cancer, the latter accounting for about 87% of cases.2 Approximately 10 to 15% of patients with NSCLC in the US and Europe, and 30 to 40% of patients in Asia have an EGFR mutation.3,4 The majority of EGFR mutations occur in tumours of nonsquamous histology.5 TROP2 is a protein broadly expressed in the majority of NSCLC tumours.6
 
For patients with tumours that have an EGFR mutation, the established 1st-line treatment in the metastatic setting includes EGFR-directed therapy with or without platinum-based chemotherapy.7 While these therapies have improved outcomes in earlier lines of treatment, most patients eventually experience disease progression and receive subsequent therapies.8-11
 
TROPION-Lung05
TROPION-Lung05 is a global, multicentre, single-arm, open-label Phase II trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of Datroway in patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with actionable genomic alterations who have progressed on at least one EGFR-directed therapy and platinum-based chemotherapy. Patients receiving up to four prior lines of treatment with tumours with one or more genomic alterations including EGFRALKROS1NTRKBRAFRET or MET were eligible for the trial.
 
The primary endpoint of TROPION-Lung05 is ORR as assessed by BICR. Secondary efficacy endpoints include DoR, disease control rate (DCR), clinical benefit rate, PFS, time to response (TTR), OS and safety. TROPION-Lung05 enrolled 137 patients globally in Asia, Europe and North America. For more information, visit ClinicalTrials.gov.
 
Primary results from TROPION-Lung05 were published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology in January 2025.
 
TROPION-Lung01
TROPION-Lung01 is a global, randomised, multicentre, open-label Phase III trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of Datroway versus docetaxel in adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with and without actionable genomic alterations who require systemic therapy following prior treatment. Patients with actionable genomic alterations were previously treated with an approved targeted therapy and platinum-based chemotherapy. Patients without known actionable genomic alterations were previously treated, concurrently or sequentially, with platinum-based chemotherapy and a PD-1 or PD-L1 inhibitor.
 
The dual primary endpoints of TROPION-Lung01 are PFS as assessed by BICR and OS. Key secondary endpoints include investigator-assessed PFS, ORR, DoR, TTR, and DCR as assessed by both BICR and investigator, and safety. TROPION-Lung01 enrolled 590 patients in Asia, Europe, North America, Oceania and South America. For more information visit ClinicalTrials.gov.
 
Primary results from TROPION-Lung01, as presented at the ESMO 2023 Congress, showed Datroway demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in PFS over docetaxel. OS results were presented at the IASLC 2024 World Conference on Lung Cancer hosted by the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer and simultaneously published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology in September 2024.
 
TROPION-PanTumor01
TROPION-PanTumor01 is a first-in-human, open-label, two-part, multicentre Phase I trial evaluating the safety and preliminary efficacy of Datroway in patients with advanced solid tumours that have relapsed or are refractory to standard treatment or for which no standard treatment is available. The dose escalation portion of the trial enrolled patients with NSCLC to assess the safety and tolerability of Datroway to determine the recommended dose for expansion (6mg/kg). The dose expansion part of TROPION-PanTumor01 enrolled several different cohorts including patients with NSCLC, triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), HR-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer, small cell lung cancer, urothelial, gastric, pancreatic, castration resistant prostate and oesophageal cancer.
 
Safety endpoints include dose-limiting toxicities and serious adverse events. Efficacy endpoints include ORR, DoR, TTR, PFS and OS. Pharmacokinetic, biomarker and immunogenicity endpoints also are being evaluated. TROPION-PanTumor01 enrolled 890 patients in Asia and North America. For more information, visit ClinicalTrials.gov.
 
Datroway
Datroway (datopotamab deruxtecan; datopotamab deruxtecan-dlnk in the US only) is a TROP2-directed ADC. Designed using Daiichi Sankyo's proprietary DXd ADC Technology, Datroway is one of six DXd ADCs in the oncology pipeline of Daiichi Sankyo, and one of the most advanced programmes in AstraZeneca's ADC scientific platform. Datroway is comprised of a humanised anti-TROP2 IgG1 monoclonal antibody, developed in collaboration with Sapporo Medical University, attached to a number of topoisomerase I inhibitor payloads (an exatecan derivative, DXd) via tetrapeptide-based cleavable linkers.
 
Datroway is approved in more than 30 countries worldwide for the treatment of adult patients with unresectable or metastatic HR-positive, HER2-negative (IHC 0, IHC 1+ or IHC 2+/ISH-) breast cancer who have received prior endocrine-based therapy and chemotherapy for unresectable or metastatic disease based on the results from the TROPION-Breast01 trial.
 
Datroway is available in the US under accelerated approval for the treatment of adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic EGFR-mutated NSCLC who have received prior EGFR-directed therapy and platinum-based chemotherapy based on results from the TROPION-Lung05 and TROPION-Lung01 trials. Continued approval for this indication in the US may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory trial. Datroway is approved in Russia for the same population.
 
Datroway clinical development programme
A comprehensive global clinical development programme is underway with more than 20 trials evaluating the efficacy and safety of Datroway across multiple cancers, including NSCLC, TNBC and HR-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer. The programme includes eight Phase III trials in lung cancer and five Phase III trials in breast cancer evaluating Datroway as a monotherapy and in combination with other anticancer treatments in various settings.
 
Daiichi Sankyo collaboration
AstraZeneca and Daiichi Sankyo entered into a global collaboration to jointly develop and commercialise Enhertu in March 2019 and Datroway in July 2020, except in Japan where Daiichi Sankyo maintains exclusive rights for each ADC. Daiichi Sankyo is responsible for the manufacturing and supply of Enhertu and Datroway.
