ABSTRACT: Background and objective
Trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) is a novel anti-ERBB2 antibody drug conjugate that appears to be associated with an increased risk of lung toxicity. We performed a systematic review to describe the incidence, severity, and management of T-DXd-induced interstitial lung disease (ILD) or pneumonitis.Methods
We searched PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane, and Web of Sciences through to 1 January, 2022, for human clinical trials that assessed T-DXd in adults with ERBB2-positive advanced solid tumors and described the rate of ILD/pneumonitis. Study screening was performed by two researchers. Data were extracted from the full-text articles.Results
Fourteen studies with a total of 1193 patients with different types of advanced solid malignancies were included in our systematic review. The overall incidence of all-grade ILD/pneumonitis cases that were adjudicated by an independent committee was 11.40% (ILD/pneumonitis cases, n = 136 out of total n = 1193). Grading of the adjudicated T-DXd-induced ILD/pneumonitis was reported in 122 patients with the majority of the cases (78.69%, n = 96) occurring as grade 1 or 2. Death was reported in 13 out of 122 (10.66%) patients. The highest incidence of ILD/pneumonitis was seen in patients with uterine carcinomatosis (26.47%) and non-small cell lung cancer (24.77%). Interstitial lung disease/pneumonitis events were treated with a dose interruption or reduction, treatment discontinuation, corticosteroids, and supportive care.Conclusions
Interstitial lung disease/pneumonitis is a well-described, serious, and potentially life-threatening adverse event that is associated with T-DXd. Further studies are needed to identify the risk factors and the underlying pathophysiology of T-DXd-induced ILD/pneumonitis to prevent occurrence and to develop effective management strategies.
