Choosing next treatment after incomplete response in HER2+ breast cancer
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial looks at the best next treatment for women with HER2-positive breast cancer who still have leftover cancer after surgery and standard pre-surgery treatment. It helps doctors choose the right therapy for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You were diagnosed with HER2-positive breast cancer (a type that grows fast but can be treated with targeted drugs).
- Your cancer was stage I to III (T1-T4, N0-N3, M0) before any treatment – meaning it hadn't spread to other body parts.
- You received at least 4 rounds of two targeted therapy drugs (trastuzumab and pertuzumab) plus chemo before surgery.
- After surgery, you still had some cancer left in the breast or lymph nodes (called 'residual disease').
- You are part of a long-term breast cancer study at Peking University People's Hospital.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether a short course of chemo plus two targeted drugs (trastuzumab and pertuzumab) before surgery works well for people with early-stage, low-risk HER2-positive breast cancer. It may help reduce the need for stronger chemo later.
This trial tests whether adding targeted therapy to chemotherapy after surgery can help prevent HER2-positive early breast cancer from coming back. It is for patients whose cancer has not spread to lymph nodes and who have certain tumor sizes and features.
This trial tests whether combining chemotherapy with targeted therapy works better for women with high-risk, HER2 positive early breast cancer that hasn't spread to lymph nodes. If you've had surgery and your tumor fits certain high-risk features, you may be eligible to join.
This trial tests a taxane chemotherapy combined with a targeted therapy for women with early-stage, HER2-positive breast cancer that has not spread to lymph nodes. It aims to provide a tailored treatment based on tumor size and risk factors.
This study looks at whether using targeted therapy can reduce the amount of chemotherapy needed before surgery for HER2-positive breast cancer. It aims to find a safer, equally effective treatment plan.
This trial tests a personalized treatment plan for HER2-positive breast cancer before surgery. The treatment is adjusted based on how your cancer responds, aiming to give you the best possible outcome.
