SERENA-6 plenary presentation will feature next-generation oral SERD camizestrant in 1st-line advanced HR-positive breast cancer. MATTERHORN plenary presentation will showcase perioperative treatment with Imfinzi in early gastric and gastroesophageal junction cancers. DESTINY-Breast09 special oral session will underscore potential of treating patients earlier with Enhertu in HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer.
AstraZeneca advances its ambition to eliminate cancer as a cause of death with new data across its diverse, industry-leading portfolio and pipeline at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting, 30 May to 3 June 2025.
More than 80 abstracts will feature 20 approved and potential new medicines from the Company including two plenary presentations, one special late-breaking oral abstract session and 19 additional oral presentations. Highlights include:
- SERENA-6 Phase III trial of camizestrant in combination with widely approved cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 4/6 inhibitors in the 1st-line treatment of patients with hormone receptor (HR)-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer whose tumours have an emergent ESR1 mutation (Plenary #LBA4). Camizestrant is an investigational, next-generation oral selective estrogen receptor degrader (SERD) and complete ER antagonist. This is the first positive Phase III trial for a next-generation oral SERD in this 1st-line setting and the first positive Phase III trial for camizestrant.
- MATTERHORN Phase III trial of perioperative Imfinzi (durvalumab) plus FLOT chemotherapy in patients with resectable, early-stage and locally advanced gastric and gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) cancers (Plenary #LBA5).
- DESTINY-Breast09 Phase III trial of Enhertu (trastuzumab deruxtecan) in combination with pertuzumab in the 1st-line treatment of patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer (Oral Abstract #LBA1008).
- DESTINY-Gastric04 Phase III trial of Enhertu in patients with 2nd-line HER2-positive unresectable and/or metastatic gastric and GEJ cancers (#LBA4002).
- NeoADAURA Phase III trial of neoadjuvant Tagrisso (osimertinib) with or without chemotherapy in resectable, early-stage EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (Oral Abstract #8001).
- TROPION-Lung02: Computational pathology biomarker analyses of the TROPION-Lung02 Phase Ib trial of Datroway (datopotamab deruxtecan) plus pembrolizumab with or without platinum chemotherapy as 1st-line treatment for patients with advanced NSCLC without actionable genomic alterations (Oral Abstract #8501).
- KOMET Phase III trial of Koselugo (selumetinib) in adults with neurofibromatosis type 1 and symptomatic, inoperable plexiform neurofibromas (Rapid Oral Abstract #3014).
Susan Galbraith, Executive Vice President, Oncology Haematology R&D, AstraZeneca, said: "Two key breast cancer presentations at ASCO will highlight the progress we are making with our innovative medicines and pipeline to change the treatment landscape. For camizestrant, SERENA-6 is the first pivotal Phase III trial to use circulating tumour DNA to inform a treatment switch, pioneering this technology in the first-line setting to delay disease progression in HR-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer. In addition, DESTINY-Breast09 for Enhertu in combination with pertuzumab is the first trial in more than a decade to demonstrate superiority over first-line standard of care across a broad HER2-positive metastatic patient population."
Dave Fredrickson, Executive Vice President, Oncology Haematology Business Unit, AstraZeneca, said: "The MATTERHORN data for perioperative Imfinzi in gastric and gastroesophageal junction cancers are a further example of our successful strategy to move immunotherapy into early stages of cancer where cure is the treatment goal. This is the seventh consecutive year AstraZeneca medicines will be featured in an ASCO plenary session, an extraordinary milestone which underscores the strength of our industry-leading oncology portfolio and pipeline across many types of cancer."
AstraZeneca is collaborating with Daiichi Sankyo Company Limited to develop and commercialise Enhertu and Datroway, with MSD (Merck & Co., Inc. in the US and Canada) to develop and commercialise Koselugo (selumetinib), and with HUTCHMED to develop and commercialise Orpathys (savolitinib).
