Key clinical point: Margetuximab + chemotherapy vs. trastuzumab + chemotherapy improved progression-free survival (PFS) with an acceptable safety profile in patients with ERBB2-positive advanced breast cancer (ERBB2+ ABC) who progressed on 2 or more prior anti-ERBB2 therapies.
Major finding: Margetuximab + chemotherapy prolonged PFS with a 24% relative risk reduction vs. trastuzumab + chemotherapy (median PFS, 5.8 vs. 4.9 months; hazard ratio, 0.76; P = .03). Safety was comparable between the groups. Infusion-related reactions were higher with margetuximab vs. trastuzumab (13.3% vs. 3.4%; P less than .001) but were mostly prevalent at cycle 1 and resolved within 24 hours.
Study details: Findings are from the phase 3 SOPHIA trial including 536 patients with ERBB2+ ABC who had progressive disease after 2 or more prior anti-ERBB2 therapies. Patients were randomly allocated to receive either margetuximab + chemotherapy (n = 266) or trastuzumab + chemotherapy (n = 270).
