1. What Datroway is and what it is used for

Datroway is a medicine that contains the active substance datopotamab deruxtecan.
Datroway is used to treat adults who have been diagnosed with a type of breast cancer known as
hormone receptor-positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-) breast cancer.
It is used when the cancer has spread to other parts of the body or cannot be removed by surgery, in patients who have previously received hormonal therapy and at least one additional anti-cancer treatment for unresectable or metastatic disease.
Part of the medicine is a monoclonal antibody (datopotamab) that specifically binds to cells expressing the TROP2 protein, which is present in high amounts on the surface of TROP2-expressing breast cancer cells. The other active component of Datroway is DXd, a substance capable of killing cancer cells. When the medicine binds to TROP2-expressing cancer cells, DXd enters the cells and kills them.

2. What you need to know before receiving Datroway

Do not receive Datroway

  • if you are allergic to datopotamab deruxtecan or to any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).

If you are unsure whether you are allergic, consult your doctor or nurse before receiving Datroway.
Warnings and precautions
Talk to your doctor or nurse before or during treatment with Datroway if you experience:

  • cough, shortness of breath, fever, or new or worsening respiratory problems. These may be symptoms of a serious and potentially fatal lung disease called interstitial lung disease. A history of lung disease may increase the risk of developing interstitial lung disease. Your doctor may need to monitor your lungs during treatment with this medicine.

Datroway may also cause:

  • eye problems. You should use a preservative-free lubricating eye drop several times a day to prevent dry eyes and other eye problems. You should avoid wearing contact lenses during treatment. If you have or develop eye problems, such as dry eyes, excessive tearing, light sensitivity, or changes in vision, during treatment, talk to your doctor or nurse. If necessary, your doctor may refer you to an ophthalmologist;
  • mouth ulcers and sores. In addition to good oral hygiene and dietary recommendations, your doctor or nurse will also recommend using an alcohol-free mouthwash 4 times a day. This mouthwash may contain steroids. If you experience pain, discomfort, or open sores in your mouth, inform your doctor or nurse. Follow your doctor’s or nurse’s instructions on how to use the mouthwash to prevent or treat mouth ulcers and sores.

If you have liver problems, your doctor may need to monitor you more closely during treatment with this medicine.
Children and adolescents
Datroway is not recommended for use in individuals under 18 years of age: there is no information available on its efficacy in this age group.
Other medicines and Datroway

Breast-feeding
You must not breastfeed during treatment with Datroway and for at least 1 month after the last dose, because it is not known whether Datroway passes into breast milk. Discuss this with your doctor.
Fertility

Datroway contains polysorbate 80
This medicine contains 1.5 mg of polysorbate 80 per vial. Polysorbates may cause allergic reactions. Inform your doctor if you have known allergies.

3. How Datroway is administered

Datroway will be administered to you in a hospital or clinic by a doctor or nurse experienced in the use of anticancer medicines.
The recommended dose is 6 mg per kilogram of body weight, given every 3 weeks. Your doctor or nurse will calculate the dose based on your body weight and determine the number of treatments required for you.
Your doctor or nurse will administer Datroway to you as an intravenous infusion (drip).
The first infusion will be given over 90 minutes. If this is well tolerated, subsequent infusions may be administered over 30 minutes.
After each infusion, you will be monitored for 30 minutes to detect any adverse reactions. Depending on any side effects you may experience, the doctor or nurse may reduce the dose or temporarily or permanently discontinue treatment.
Before each Datroway infusion, the doctor or nurse may give you medicines to help prevent nausea, vomiting, and infusion-related reactions.
Before each Datroway infusion and during the treatment period, the doctor or nurse may recommend using a mouthwash to help prevent the development of mouth ulcers and sores. If you experience infusion-related symptoms, the doctor or nurse may slow down the infusion or suspend or stop treatment.
During the treatment period, you must use a preservative-free lubricating eye drop several times a day and avoid wearing contact lenses.
If you miss an appointment for Datroway administration
Contact your doctor or treatment centre immediately to reschedule the appointment.
It is very important not to miss a dose of this medicine.

Other sources of information
More detailed information on this medicinal product is available on the website of the European Medicines Agency: https://www.ema.europa.eu.

The following information is intended for healthcare professionals only:

Datroway contains a cytotoxic component and must be administered under the supervision of a
physician experienced in the use of antineoplastic and cytotoxic agents. Appropriate procedures must be used for the
preparation, handling, and disposal of antineoplastic and cytotoxic medicinal products.
Aseptic technique must be properly maintained during the reconstitution and dilution procedures described below.

Reconstitution

  • Reconstitute immediately before dilution.
  • More than one vial may be required for a complete dose. Calculate the required dose (mg), the total volume of reconstituted Datroway solution needed, and the number of Datroway vials required.
  • Reconstitute each 100 mg vial by slowly injecting 5 mL of Water for Injections into the vial using a sterile syringe, to achieve a final concentration of 20 mg/mL.
  • Gently swirl the vial until complete dissolution is achieved. Do not shake.
  • If not used immediately, store reconstituted Datroway vials in a refrigerator at 2 °C to 8 °C for up to 24 hours, protected from light. Do not freeze.
  • The reconstituted product contains no preservatives and is for single use only. Discard any unused reconstituted Datroway after 24 hours of refrigeration.

Dilution

  • Withdraw the calculated amount from the vial (or vials) using a sterile syringe. Inspect the reconstituted solution for particulate matter and discoloration. The solution should be clear and colorless to pale yellow. Do not use if visible particles are present or if the solution is cloudy or discolored.
  • Dilute the calculated volume of reconstituted Datroway in an infusion bag containing 100 mL of 5% glucose solution. Do not use sodium chloride solution. Use of a polyvinylchloride (PVC) or polyolefin (polypropylene (PP) or ethylene-propylene copolymer) infusion bag is recommended.
  • Gently invert the infusion bag to ensure complete mixing. Do not shake.
  • Cover the infusion bag to protect it from light.

  • Discard any unused portion remaining in the vial.

Administration

  • The maximum time between vial reconstitution and completion of administration must not exceed 24 hours. Discard the solution if storage time exceeds these limits.
