Open-label, randomized, multicenter, phase 3 study evaluating trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) as first-line treatment in patients with unresectable, locally advanced, or metastatic non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring HER2 exon 19 or 20 mutations (DESTINY-Lung04).

Abstract
TPS9137 Background: The standard of care (SOC) for patients with oncogene driver subsets of metastatic NSCLC is guided by specific molecular characterization and includes immunotherapy, chemoimmunotherapy, and matched targeted therapies. Although targeting HER2 has transformed the care of patients with breast and gastric cancers, there is currently no approved HER2-targeted therapy for NSCLC. T-DXd is an antibody-drug conjugate consisting of an anti-HER2 antibody, a cleavable tetrapeptide-based linker, and a topoisomerase I inhibitor payload. In a cohort of pretreated patients (median, 2 prior lines) with unresectable or metastatic HER2-mutant NSCLC, T-DXd demonstrated durable and robust anticancer activity, with a confirmed objective response rate (ORR) of 55% and median duration of response (DOR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) of 9.3, 8.2, and 17.8 months, respectively (Li et al. N Engl J Med. 2022). Given the efficacy observed in later-line settings and the unmet need for targeted therapies in patients with HER2-mutant NSCLC, evaluating the efficacy of T-DXd in the first-line setting vs SOC is important to determine the optimal treatment. Here we describe the phase 3 DESTINY-Lung04 trial (NCT05048797) evaluating T-DXd as a first-line treatment in patients with NSCLC harboring HER2 mutations. Methods: DESTINY-Lung04 is an open-label, randomized, multicenter, phase 3 study evaluating the efficacy and safety of first-line T-DXd vs SOC in patients with unresectable, locally advanced (not amenable to curative therapy), or metastatic nonsquamous NSCLC with HER2 exon 19 or 20 mutations (detected in tissue or circulating tumor DNA). Patients must be naive to systemic therapy with palliative intent in the locally advanced or metastatic disease setting and must not have tumors with EGFR or other targetable oncogenic alterations. Patients with brain metastases must have previously completed local therapy. Patients will be randomized to receive T-DXd or SOC (platinum [investigator’s choice of cisplatin or carboplatin], pemetrexed, and pembrolizumab). The primary endpoint is PFS defined by RECIST version 1.1 per blinded independent central review (BICR). Secondary endpoints include OS, ORR, and DOR (by RECIST 1.1 per BICR and investigator), investigator-assessed PFS (by RECIST 1.1) and time to second progression or death (per local standard clinical practice), central nervous system PFS (by RECIST 1.1 per BICR), landmark PFS at 12 months (by RECIST 1.1 per BICR and investigator), and landmark OS at 24 months. Safety and tolerability, pharmacokinetics, immunogenicity, and patient-reported outcomes, including pulmonary symptoms and tolerability, will be assessed. Clinical trial information: NCT05048797.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
