About this trial
This is a randomized phase II study to evaluate the pathological complete response (pCR) rate with two neoadjuvant regimens (Docetaxel+Carboplatin+Herceptin/Perjeta and Docetaxel+Herceptin/Perjeta) in HER2 amplified/positive early breast cancer.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Ability of participant OR Legally Authorized Representative (LAR) to understand this study, and participant or LAR willingness to sign a written informed consent
18 years of age or older
Histologically confirmed cT2-T3 N0-N2, cT1 N1-N2, or cTX N1-N2 HER2 positive breast cancer (The invasive tumor must be HER2-positive based on the current ASCO-CAP guidelines; Patients are eligible regardless of estrogen receptor (ER) or progesterone receptor (PR) expression status. However, percentage of both ER and PR positivity must be documented in the pathology report.)
No previous ipsilateral breast surgery for the current breast cancer
Disqualifiers
Current or anticipated use of other investigational agents while participating in this study
Clinically or radiographically detected metastatic disease
Inflammatory breast cancer
Prior or concurrent malignancy whose natural history or treatment (in the opinion of the treating physician) has the potential to interfere with the safety or efficacy assessment of the treatment regimen. Note: Patients with squamous cell or basal cell carcinoma of the skin, ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) of the breast, or carcinoma in situ (CIS) of the uterine cervix who have undergone definitive therapy are not excluded from participation

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Pathologic complete response (pCR) rate in the breast and axilla in the two treatment arms
To evaluate the pathological complete response (pCR) rate with two neoadjuvant regimens (Docetaxel+Carboplatin+Herceptin+Perjeta (TCHP) and Docetaxel+Herceptin+Perjeta (THP)) in HER2+ breast cancer.
Secondary outcomes
Residual cancer burden (RCB)
Determine residual cancer burden (RCB) 0+1 rate
Assess the toxicity and tolerability of each regimen
Toxicity will be assessed according to the NCI Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), version 5.0. Only grade 3 and higher CTCAE toxicities will be collected. Alopecia of any grade will not be collected.
HER2DX pathological complete response (pCR) score status
Assess pathological complete response (pCR) and residual cancer burden (RCB) by HER2DX pCR score status. The HER2DX test reports three pCR Likelihood Groups for response (High, Medium and Low).
Recurrence-Free Survival (RFS)
RFS is defined as the time from diagnosis to first recurrence (invasive ipsilateral breast, invasive local/regional, or distant), or to death as a result of any cause.
