NeoAdjuvant Dynamic Marker - Adjusted Personalized Therapy Comparing Trastuzumab-deruxtecan Versus Pacli-/Docetaxel+Carboplatin+Trastuzumab+Pertuzumab in HER2+ Early Breast Cancer
ADAPT-HER2-IV will address question of optimal neoadjuvant therapy in patients with less advanced -HER2+ EBC. ADAPT-HER2-IV is planned as a superiority trial to demonstrate higher pCR rates in both clinically relevant subgroups of low-intermediate risk HER2+ EBC. Moreover, it aims to demonstrate excellent survival in patients treated by T-DXd (with the use of standard chemotherapy at investigator´s decision restricted only to patients with substantial residual tumour burden after T-DXd-treatment).
⁃ Patients eligible for inclusion in this study must meet all the following criteria:
• Female patients with invasive, untreated HER2+ breast cancer (as assessed by local pathology) maximum 6 weeks before registration (standard-of-care diagnostic biopsy according to current AGO guidelines)
• Age ≥18 years 3a. Cohort 1: low- to intermediate-risk for recurrence as per investigator´s decision (recommendation: cT1c - cT2 (1 - ≤3cm), cN0; cT1a/b excluded), OR 3b. Cohort 2: intermediate- to high-risk for recurrence as per investigator´s decision (recommendation: cT2 (\>3 - ≤5cm), cN0) 3c. Elderly patients (≥ 65 years) may be assigned to any cohort as per investigator's decision
