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 volunteers

Qualifiers

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

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

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.

Time frame
At time of breast surgery

Secondary outcomes

1

Residual cancer burden (RCB)

Determine residual cancer burden (RCB) 0+1 rate

Time frame
At time of breast surgery
2

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.

Time frame
Start of study treatment (6 cycles every 21 days) until 30 days after last dose of study treatment.
3

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).

Time frame
Results of HER2DX testing are expected to be available within 3-6 weeks of submission of FFPE samples
4

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.

Time frame
From 3- and 5-years from diagnosis
