Study summary

This study is a single-arm, single-center exploratory clinical study. Twenty patients with early-stage HER2-positive breast cancer are planned to be included, and the primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of neoadjuvant regimen of Pyrotinib in combination with trastuzumab + pertuzumab.

Read the detailed description

Recruiting patients with clinical stage II to III HER2-positive breast cancer for primary treatment, eligible subjects will be enrolled as follows: This study is a single-arm, single-center exploratory clinical study. Twenty patients with early-stage HER2-positive breast cancer are planned to be included, and the primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of neoadjuvant regimen of Pyrotinib in combination with trastuzumab + pertuzumab.Eligible subjects who met the enrollment criteria and signed the informed consent form entered the trial period and received epirubicin 100 mg/m2, iv cyclophosphamide 600 mg/m2, iv + Pyrotinib 400 mg/d, po for 4 weeks, sequential docetaxel 80 mg/m2, iv + trastuzumab 6 mg/kg (first dose 8 mg/kg), iv + pertuzumab 420 mg (first dose 840 mg), iv ,po 4 cycles of treatment. Surgery was performed at the end of the above treatment cycles, and adjuvant targeted therapy was continued after surgery: trastuzumab + patuximab for 1 year.

Eligible subjects (20) who met the nadir criteria and signed the informed consent form entered the trial period and received the ECPy-THP regimen: i.e., epirubicin 100 mg/m2, iv + cyclophosphamide 600 mg/m2, iv + Pyrotinib 400 mg/d, po 4 cycles, sequential docetaxel 80 mg/m2, iv + trastuzumab 6 mg/kg (first dose 8 mg/kg), iv + patuximab 420 mg (first dose 840 mg), iv, po 4 cycles of treatment. If the efficacy of 4 cycles was evaluated as PD or SD, the regimen was promptly adjusted for surgical treatment.

Surgery was performed at the end of the above treatment cycles, and adjuvant targeted therapy was continued after surgery: patients who reached pCR continued trastuzumab + pertuzumab for 1 year, and non-pCR patients were treated according to the guideline-recommended backline regimen.

All patients underwent surgery or radiotherapy continuation within 16-20 d after completion of the neoadjuvant chemotherapy cycle, and the efficacy was assessed 1 to 2 d before continuation of treatment.

Inclusion criteria

  • Female patients aged 18-70 years.
  • score must be 0 or 1.
  • Patients with clinical stage II to III new breast cancer, all diagnosed by hollow-core needle aspiration pathological histology prior to treatment and surgically resectable breast cancer with positive immunohistochemical staining (IHC) for (3+) or HER2 (2+) supplemented with fluorescence in situ hybridization technique (FISH).
  • The presence of at least one according to 1.1 criteria.
  • Exclusion of distant by abdominal B-ultrasound, chest X-ray and whole-body bone scan prior to chemotherapy, and for lymph nodes in the enlarged area fine needle aspiration cytology is required to clarify the presence of tumor metastases without a history of remaining .
  • Expected survival of not less than 12 weeks.
  • No previous treatment, including chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted therapy, and biologic therapy. -Exclusion Criteria

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Female patients of childbearing age who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or unwilling to use effective throughout the trial period.
  • Patients with combined severe cardiac, hepatic, renal, or endocrine system diseases and with expected survival of \< 2 years for the above diseases.
  • Inability to swallow, intestinal obstruction, the presence of other factors affecting drug administration and absorption or a history of allergy to this drug
  • scale score below 60
  • Patients with breast cancer or bilateral breast cancer.
  • Patients with inflammatory breast cancer.
  • Those with a (LVEF) \<55% on echocardiography
  • Those who are deemed by the personnel to be otherwise unsuitable for clinical trials.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(11)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

ECOG performance status

A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.

0
Fully active, no restrictions.
1
Limited in strenuous activity, but walking and able to do light work, such as housework or office work.
2
Walking and able to look after yourself, but unable to work; up and about more than half of waking hours.
3
Able to look after yourself only in part; in bed or a chair more than half of waking hours.
4
Unable to look after yourself at all; in bed or a chair all day.

Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.

Biopsy and archival tissue

A biopsy takes a small piece of tissue to examine. “Archival tissue” is a sample already taken, for example at diagnosis, and kept by the hospital.

Whether a stored sample will do depends on when it was taken, how much there is and what the study needs. Ask whether the study accepts your stored sample or needs a new biopsy.

HER2

HER2 is a protein, made from the ERBB2 gene, that drives the growth of some cancers. A study may look for a level of the protein, extra copies of the gene, or a particular change in it.

In breast cancer, protein tests are read as HER2-positive, HER2-low or HER2-negative; other cancers use their own rules. Check which test result the study requires.

Measurable disease

The amount of disease can be tracked with a defined measurement, so the study can see whether it shrinks or grows. It might be a tumour measured on a scan or, in some blood cancers such as myeloma, a marker measured in blood or urine.

The criteria or the study team say which measurement counts — having no tumour visible on a scan does not by itself rule you out.

RECIST

The standard rules for measuring tumours on CT or MRI scans, to tell whether a cancer is shrinking, stable or growing during treatment.

“Measurable disease per RECIST 1.1” usually means at least one tumour 10 mm or more at its longest on a CT scan, or a lymph node 15 mm or more across its short axis.

Metastases

Cancer that has spread from where it began to other parts of the body. “Metastatic” cancer is cancer that has spread this way.

Adjuvant and neoadjuvant

Neoadjuvant treatment is given before the main treatment (usually surgery), often to shrink a tumour. Adjuvant treatment is given after it, to lower the chance of the cancer coming back.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Karnofsky performance status (KPS)

A 0–100 scale of how well someone can carry out everyday activities. 100 is no complaints and no signs of illness; 70 is able to look after yourself but not to work or keep up normal activity; 50 is needing considerable help and frequent medical care.

Studies often ask for 60 or 70 and above. Your doctor gives the score.

LVEF (left ventricular ejection fraction)

The share of blood the heart’s main pumping chamber (the left ventricle) pushes out with each beat, measured by an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) or a MUGA scan. About 50–70% is normal.
