Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the activity of molecular response in endocrine sensitive breast cancer HER2+/HR+ patients treated with Pertuzumab-trastuzumab plus Ietrozole.


Description:

The purpose of this study is:

- to evaluate the rate of pathologic complete response (pCR), as defined as complete disappearance of invasive tumor in breast and axillary nodes.

- to estimate the percentage of clinical objective responses (cOR) (complete plus partial) in the breast, as assessed by ultrasonography (US)

- to estimate the percentage of breast conservative surgery

- to evaluate the safety profile

- To perform correlative biomarker analyses

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Rate of pathologic complete response A pathologic complete response (pCR) is defined the complete absence of infiltrating tumor cells in the breast and in lymph nodes. Residual in situ disease (DCIS) will be included in the pCR category. At time of surgery, within 3 weeks from the last i.v. therapy
Secondary Percentage of clinical objective response. The Clinical Response will be defined according to RECIST criteria comparing the tumor size (largest tumor diameter) before and after treatment, as assessed by ultrasound examination. At time of surgery, within 3 weeks from the last i.v. therapy
Secondary Rate of Conservative Surgery At time of surgery, within 3 weeks from the last i.v. therapy
Secondary Safety profile assessed by the NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) To version 4.0 will be used Every 21-day cycles
Secondary Occurrence of mutations in the PIK3CA gene Within 4 weeks prior to first dose treatment
