A Randomized, Open-Label, Phase III Trial Comparing Adjuvant Trastuzumab Plus Neratinib Versus Trastuzumab Plus Pertuzumab in Hormone Receptor-Positive/Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2-Positive Breast Cancer With Residual Cancer Burden 0/I After Neoadjuvant Trastuzumab Plus Pertuzumab

SUMMARY

Neratinib is an irreversible pan-HER tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI). Currently, no studies have investigated the use of macromolecular anti-HER2 agents combined with TKIs for the treatment of non-pCR HER2-positive breast cancer following neoadjuvant therapy. Furthermore, there are no prospective randomized controlled trials comparing trastuzumab plus pertuzumab versus trastuzumab plus TKIs in HER2-positive breast cancer patients with residual cancer burden class (RCB) I or II after neoadjuvant trastuzumab and pertuzumab. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of adjuvant trastuzumab plus neratinib in patients with hormone receptor-positive/HER2-positive breast cancer and RCB 0/I following neoadjuvant trastuzumab and pertuzumab therapy.

View:

• Female patients aged 18-70 years;

• Clinical stage at initial diagnosis (per the 8th edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer Staging Manual): cT1-4/N1-3/M0 (cT1mi/N0 or cT1a-b/N0 are eligible), meeting the criteria for neoadjuvant therapy as per NCCN 2022 guidelines;

• Histologically confirmed hormone receptor-positive (estrogen receptor ≥1% and/or progesterone receptor ≥1%) and HER2-positive (immunohistochemistry 3+ or fluorescence in situ hybridization-positive) invasive breast cancer;

• Completion of ≥4 cycles of neoadjuvant therapy with trastuzumab and pertuzumab, without recurrence or metastatic disease prior to adjuvant treatment; residual cancer burden class 0 or I after neoadjuvant therapy; time from initial surgery to randomization ≤12 weeks;

• Adequate organ function within 2 weeks prior to screening (without transfusion or use of growth factors):

‣ Absolute neutrophil count ≥1.5 × 10⁹/L;

Treatments
Active_comparator: Trastuzumab combined with Pertuzumab
Trastuzumab (8 mg/kg IV loading dose, followed by 6 mg/kg IV once every 3 weeks), and pertuzumab (840 mg IV loading dose, followed by 420 mg IV once every 3 weeks). This regimen will be repeated for a total of 18 cycles,encompassing both the preoperative and adjuvant phases.
Experimental: Trastuzumab combined with neratinib
Trastuzumab (8 mg/kg IV loading dose, followed by 6 mg/kg IV once every 3 weeks), and neratinib 240 mg orally once daily. The trastuzumab treatment will be continued for a total of 18 cycles, encompassing both the preoperative and adjuvant phases, while neratinib will be maintained throughout the adjuvant period.
