Elderly Metastatic Breast Cancer Population Clinical Trial
Official title:
Pertuzumab + Trastuzumab (PH) Versus PH Plus Metronomic Chemotherapy (PHM) in the Elderly HER2+ Metastatic Breast Cancer Population Who May Continue on T-DM1 Alone Following Disease Progression While on PH / PHM: an Open-label Multicentre Randomized Phase II Selection Trial of the EORTC Elderly Task Force and Breast Cancer Group
Chemotherapy and HER2 targeted agents can improve survival significantly in metastatic breast cancer. Chemotherapy however is associated with significant side-effects and can impact on Quality of Life and functionality in older patients. The investigators aim to establish HER2 targeted regimens with minimal toxicity in order to delay or even avoid the use of classical chemotherapy because of competing risks of death in this frail/elderly patient group.
