HER2-positive early BC patients given neoadjuvant chemotherapy with trastuzumab and pertuzumab...55 of 80 (71%) tumours were ER-positive. PCR occurred in 37 of 78 (46.3%; 95% CI: 35.3-57.2%) patients. 14 of 23 (60.8%) patients with ER-negative tumours achieved pCR; 23 of 55 (41.8%)...This data confirms the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with dual HER2 directed therapy.
TBCRC026: Phase II clinical trial assessing the correlation of standardized uptake value (SUV) on positron emission tomography (PET) with pathological complete response (pCR) to pertuzumab and trastuzumab in patients with primary operable HER2-positive breast cancer.

Excerpt:
The multicenter phase II TBCRC026 trial administered 4 cycles of neoadjuvant PT in women with stage II/III, ER-negative, HER2-positive BC (NCT01937117). pCR after PT alone was 34% (28/83). Percent reduction and D15 SULmax significantly differ between those with pCR versus not, after 4 cycles PT, in ER-negative/HER2-positive BC.
