Abstract

Background: TROP-2 is emerging as a valid and fruitful strategy in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients, and several agents are currently under evaluation, including Datopotamab deruxtecan (Dato-DXd).

Research design and methods: Herein, we performed a meta-analysis aimed to evaluate any grade adverse events, grade 3-4 adverse events, dose reduction, and serious adverse events in TNBC patients treated with Dato-DXd in clinical trials.

Results: The pooled results suggests that Dato-DXd is associated with a favorable safety profile: while any grade treatment-related toxicities were common, grade 3-4 events were not particularly frequent and mainly represented by stomatitis (13.88%; 95% CI, 10.68 - 17.09).

Conclusions: These findings may help to comprehensively define the safety profile of Dato-DXd and to assist in the design of future clinical trials in this setting.
