Study summary

The neoCARHP study was a randomized, open-label, multicenter, phase III, neoadjuvant trial. This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of TCHP with THP neoadjuvant setting for HER2-positive breast cancer. Patients will be randomized at a 1:1 ratio into TCHP or THP, respectively, and will be treated every 3 weeks before surgery.The primary endpoint was the percentage of pCR (ypT0/is, ypN0), which was defined as the absence of any residual invasive cancer in both the breast and axillary lymph nodes.

Inclusion criteria

  • To take part in the trial, patients must be aged > 18 years old and supply a signed informed consent form.

Patients must also have breast cancer meeting the following criteria:

  • Histologically confirmed invasive breast carcinoma
  • Clinical stage II-IIIC at presentation. HER2-positive breast cancer scored as 3+ by immunohistochemistry (IHC) in > 10% of immunoreactive cells, or HER2 gene amplification (ratio of HER2 gene signals to centromere 17 signals ≥2.0) by in situ hybridization (ISH).

Known hormone receptor status (ER and PR). Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status 0 or 1. Completed all necessary baseline laboratory and radiologic examinations prior to randomization.

Baseline left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)≥55% measured by echocardiography (ECHO).

Women who are not postmenopausal (≥12 months of amenorrhea) or surgically sterile (absence of ovaries and/or the uterus) must agree to remain abstinent or to use one highly effective form of non-hormonal contraception or two effective forms of non-hormonal contraception during the treatment period and for at least 6 months after the last dose of study treatment.

Clinical diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease. Must be able to swallow tablets. All patients must be able to comply with the study protocol, according to the investigator's judgment.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Stage IV (metastatic) breast cancer Inflammatory breast cancer Previous anti-cancer therapy or radiotherapy for any malignancy. A history of other malignancies, except for carcinoma in situ of the cervix or squamous or basal cell carcinoma.

Concurrent anti-cancer treatment in another clinical trial, including hormone therapy, bisphosphonate therapy, or immunotherapy.

Received a major non-breast cancer-related surgical procedure within the 4 weeks before randomization or from which the patient has not fully recovered.

A serious cardiac illness or medical condition, including but not limited to the following:

Documented history heart failure or systolic dysfunction (LVEF \< 50%). High-risk uncontrolled arrhythmia, such as atrial tachycardia with a heart rate >100 bpm at rest, significant ventricular arrhythmia (e.g., ventricular tachycardia), or higher-grade atrioventricular (AV) block (i.e., Mobitz II second-degree AV block or third-degree AV block).

Angina pectoris requiring anti-angina medication. Clinically significant valvular heart disease. Evidence of transmural infarction on ECG Poorly controlled hypertension (systolic blood pressure > 180 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure > 100 mmHg) Other concurrent serious diseases that may interfere with planned treatment, including severe pulmonary conditions/illness.

Any of the following abnormal laboratory tests immediately prior to randomization:

Total bilirubin > 1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN) or, for cases of known Gilbert's syndrome, total bilirubin > 2 × ULN Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and/or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) > 1.25 × ULN Alkaline phosphatase > 2.5 × ULN Serum creatinine > 1.5 × ULN Total white blood cell (WBC) count \< 2500 cells/uL Absolute neutrophil count \<1500 cells/uL Platelet count \<100,000 cells/uL Sensitivity to any of the study medications, any of the ingredients or excipients of these medications, or benzyl alcohol Pregnant or lactating: a negative serum pregnancy test is required for all women who are not postmenopausal (≥ 12 months of amenorrhea).

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. pathological complete response(ypT0/is,ypN0, pCR)

    defined as the absence of invasive tumor cells in breast and axilla, ypT0/is ypN0

    Time frame: 18 weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. Clinical response during neoadjuvant therapy

    Clinical response during neoadjuvant therapy, according to RECIST v1.1.

    Time frame: 18 weeks

  2. The percentage of patients who underwent breast-conserving surgery

    Time frame: 18 weeks

  3. Event-free survival (EFS)

    Event-free survival (EFS), defined as the time from randomization to the first report of one of the following events: 1. Disease progression (before surgery), as determined by the investigator according to RECIST v1.1. Any evidence of in situ contralateral disease will not be identified as progressive disease (PD). Any evidence of invasive contralateral disease will be considered as disease progression 2. Disease recurrence (local, regional, distant, or contralateral) after surgery. 3. Death from any cause.

    Time frame: until disease progression or recurrence or until 5 years after randomization of the last patient, which ever occurs first.

  4. Disease-free survival (DFS)

    Disease-free survival (DFS), defined as the time from the first date of no disease (i.e., date of surgery) to the first documentation of one of the following events: 1. Disease recurrence (local, regional, distant, or contralateral) after surgery 2. Death from any cause

    Time frame: until disease progression or recurrence or until 5 years after randomization of the last patient, which ever occurs first.

  5. Safety Outcome Measures

    The safety outcome measures for this study are the incidence, type, and severity of adverse events and serious adverse events.

    Time frame: until disease progression or recurrence or until 5 years after randomization of the last patient, which ever occurs first.

  6. Overall survival, defined as the time from randomization to death from any cause.

    Overall survival, defined as the time from randomization to death from any cause.

    Time frame: from randomization to death from any cause.
