Data from 637 HER2+ patients with metastatic breast cancer enrolled in the multicenter Italian GIM14/BIOMETA study were retrieved….Overall, for first-line therapies, mPFS was 16.5 vs 19.5 months for patients treated in 2000-2013 vs 2014-2020 (HR: 0.78, 95% CI:0.65-0.94, P = 0.008). mPFS improved over time in all patients except for those with brain metastasis....Median first-line PFS improved since 2014, mainly due to the introduction of pertuzumab. The outcome of patients with liver metastases appears to have improved in recent years.

The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate progesterone receptor (PR) status as a predictor of response to the addition of pertuzumab in HER2 + /N + breast cancer….HP-based therapy contributed to better DFS in the ER - and PR - cohorts (P = 0.035 and 0.015, respectively)....Compared with ER status, PR status might be a more valuable factor predicting the efficacy of adding pertuzumab into neoadjuvant therapy for HER2 + /N + BC. PR + patients benefit little from the addition of pertuzumab.

...clinical randomized controlled trials of treatment in combination with pertuzumab (experimental group) and without pertuzumab (control group) for HER2-positive breast cancer….The results from this study showed that, the patients in the experimental group showed prolonged progression-free survival [hazard ratio = 0.72, 95% confidence interval (CI) (0.65,0.80), P < .01] and overall survival [hazard ratio = 0.80, 95% CI (0.66,0.96), P = .02] than those in the control group....These results support that the treatment in combination with pertuzumab is superior to the treatment in combination without pertuzumab in the treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer...

Of 35 patients with HER2-positive mBC (median age, 49 years; range, 35-87 years), 14 received pertuzumab as a second-line therapy, 6 as a third-line therapy, and 15 as a fourth- or later-line therapy….The median overall survival was 74.2 months (95% confidence interval, 47.6-139.8 months)....In conclusion, the median overall survival of patients who underwent second- or later-line pertuzumab treatment was similar to that reported for patients who underwent first-line pertuzumab treatment, and the safety profile was acceptable.

We included data from all patients with a confirmed diagnosis of HER2+ MBC treated from 2014 to 2021... endpoints included adoption of pertuzumab-based regimen and T-DM1 in the palliative setting and their median Time to Treatment Discontinuation (TTD) in a real-world scenario....With a median follow-up of 2 years, median OS was 49 months (CI95% 44-59)….Overall, 62% received a pertuzumab-based regimen, mostly in the 1st line (76%), with median TTD of 9.9 months (CI95% 9-13)....In the largest Brazilian real-world study of patients with HER2+ MBC treated in the private health system, we found similar outcomes as those reported in North-American and European cohorts, both in terms of OS and TTD with standard-of-care therapies.

We collected data of all patients with stage II-III HER2-positive breast cancer....Overall, pCR rate was 65.0% in patients who received pertuzumab and 38.9% in patients who did not. In patients with single HER2-type tumors, pCR rate was significantly higher with pertuzumab (77.0% vs. 46.0%, multivariate adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 3.92, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.60 - 5.98)....In addition, multivariate Cox regression analyses showed a significant OS benefit with pertuzumab in patients with single HER2-type tumors (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 0.33, 95% CI 0.16 - 0.67), but not in other subtypes (aHR 0.94, 95% CI 0.31 - 2.83).

We included 493 systemically treated patients consecutively diagnosed with HER2 + ABC in 2008-2017 from the SOutheast Netherlands Advanced BREast cancer (SONABRE) Registry….The median OS in 2008-2012 versus 2013-2017 was 28.3 versus 39.7 months in all patients (adjusted hazard ratio (adjHR) 0.85, 95%CI 0.66-1.08), 29.9 versus 36.3 months in patients with HR + /HER2 + disease (adjHR 0.97, 95%CI 0.72-1.32), and 22.7 versus 40.9 months in patients with HR-/HER2 + disease (adjHR 0.59, 95%CI 0.38-0.92).... The survival of patients with HER2 + ABC improved since the introduction of pertuzumab and T-DM1.
