Trastuzumab Emtansine Plus Pertuzumab Versus Taxane Plus Trastuzumab Plus Pertuzumab After Anthracycline for High-Risk Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2-Positive Early Breast Cancer: The Phase III KAITLIN Study

Published date:
02/10/2022
Excerpt:
The phase III KAITLIN study (NCT01966471) included adults with excised HER2-positive EBC (node-positive or node-negative, hormone receptor-negative, and tumor > 2.0 cm).....Trastuzumab plus pertuzumab plus chemotherapy remains the standard of care for high-risk HER2-positive EBC.

Title:

Dual anti-HER2 Therapy with Pertuzumab and Trastuzumab versus Trastuzumab Alone in Addition to Anthracycline and Taxane-Based Neoadjuvant Therapy in Patients with HER2-Positive Early-Stage Breast Cancer; Real-World Data

Published date:
12/02/2023
Excerpt:
The study comprised 528 patients with a median follow-up of 36 months...Dual anti-HER2 therapy (trastuzumab and pertuzumab) was used in 316 (59.8%) patients...Among the whole group, 225 (43.4%) achieved pCR; significantly higher (n=80, 53.7%) in HR-negative compared to 38.3% among those with HR positive disease, p=0.002...Additionally, pCR was higher in patients who received dual antiHER2 (46.2%)...Estimated 3-year DFS was 86.1% with dual anti-HER2...

The Add-On Effect of Fluorouracil, Epirubicin, and Cyclophosphamide Regimens for Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in Human Epidermal Receptor 2 (HER2)-Positive Breast Cancer: A Single-Center Retrospective Study

Published date:
11/04/2023
Excerpt:
In this retrospective, observational study, participants received pertuzumab combination therapy as NAC for HER2-positive primary breast cancer....The pCR rate was 35.3% (12/34 patients). The pCR group had a significantly higher percentage of histopathologic grade III (1/11 patients, p=0.030) and a significantly higher percentage of hormone receptor-negative patients (7/12 patients, p=0.015) than the non-pCR group....Moreover, our results support that the pCR rate is high in patients with hormone receptor-negative, HER2-positive breast cancer.

Real-world study of trastuzumab and pertuzumab combined with chemotherapy in neoadjuvant treatment for patients with HER2-positive breast cancer

Published date:
10/07/2022
Excerpt:
Clinical data from patients with HER2-positive breast cancer who received HP combined with chemotherapy as neoadjuvant therapy at 2 institutions from March 2019 to February 2022 were retrospectively analyzed….The overall tpCR rate was 64.9%, and those of TcbHP, THP, and AC-THP were 73.1%, 52.1%, and 65.1%, respectively....The TcbHP regimen had the highest pCR. HR-negative tumors demonstrated a higher pCR.

De-escalated neoadjuvant pertuzumab plus trastuzumab therapy with or without weekly paclitaxel in HER2-positive, hormone receptor-negative, early breast cancer (WSG-ADAPT-HER2+/HR–): survival outcomes from a multicentre, open-label, randomised, phase 2 trial

Published date:
04/08/2022
Excerpt:
Pathological complete response was associated with improved invasive disease-free survival (HR 0·14, 95% CI 0·03–0·64; p=0·011)….The WSG-ADAPT-HER2+/HR– trial showed good survival rates in patients with a pathological complete response after de-escalated 12-week trastuzumab plus pertuzumab with or without weekly paclitaxel.

Excerpt:
IHC assessment revealed 40 (70.18%) patients with IHC 3+ and 17 (29.82%) with IHC 2+. 41/57 (71.93%) patients achieved pCR....The response to dual-targeted neoadjuvant therapy with trastuzumab and pertuzumab was adequate in hormone receptor-negative, HER-2-positive breast cancer patients.

Neoadjuvant T-DM1/pertuzumab and paclitaxel/trastuzumab/pertuzumab for HER2+ breast cancer in the adaptively randomized I-SPY2 trial

Published date:
11/05/2021
Excerpt:
Both T-DM1/P and THP arms ‘graduate’ in all subtypes: predicted pCR rates are 63%, 72% and 33% for T-DM1/P (n = 52), THP (n = 45) and TH (n = 31) respectively. Amongst all HER2+ patients in the TDM-1/P and TH arms, T-DM1/P had a higher estimated pCR rate (55%; 95% PI 41–69%) than TH (25%; 95% PI 11–38%), corresponding to a 99.9% probability that T-DM1/P was superior to TH...In summary, both T-DM1/P and THP significantly increased estimated pCR rates over TH in HER2+ patients, within both HR+ and HR– groups.
