Who this trial is looking for

This trial is looking for women with early HER2 positive breast cancer who will receive initial treatment with chemotherapy and specific medications. Participants will provide blood samples and may be assigned to continue with one or both medications after surgery, depending on their response to treatment.

  • I have been diagnosed with HER2 positive breast cancer
  • I am at Stage I to III
  • I need neoadjuvant therapy with chemotherapy, trastuzumab, and pertuzumab
  • I will have breast surgery after the initial treatment
  • I have good cognitive function
  • My ECOG performance status is 0-3
  • I have a complete response to the initial therapy
  • I agree to participate and will sign the consent form

You may not be able to join if

  • I cannot take trastuzumab or pertuzumab
  • I am receiving adjuvant chemotherapy

About This Trial
Phase II unicentric randomized trial which will include early HER2 positive breast cancer patients, candidate to neoadjuvant therapy with trastuzumab and pertuzumab. Circulating tumor cells will be collected at neoadjuvant therapy baseline. Patients with pathological complete response will be randomized in 1:1 ratio for adjuvant trastuzumab (arm A) versus trastuzumab + pertuzumab (arm B) in a two…
