Brief Summary

In HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer, trastuzumab based treatment is the standard of care as long as there are no contraindications to trastuzumab. Frequently, trastuzumab is being combined with taxanes in the first-line setting. However, since therapy with trastuzumab is active even in the absence of chemotherapy in HER2-positive MBC, the optimal treatment strategy either in combination or in sequence with chemotherapy is still under debate. This randomized phase II trial is studying a new strategy for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer with HER2-positive. First-line treatment consists of trastuzumab and pertuzumab, a treatment without chemotherapy. In case of disease progression, chemotherapy with T-DM1 is then performed as second-line treatment. Third-line and further line therapies are performed according to the physician's discretion. If this new therapeutic strategy is as effective and better tolerated than the conventional strategy, this would mean a serious breakthrough in the treatment of HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Overall survival (OS) - Analysis Population: ITT Population 1

    Patients being alive 24 months after randomization. A success is considered if a patient is alive at least 24 months after randomization. Analysis Population: ITT Population 1

    24 months

Secondary Outcomes (15)

  • OS - Analysis Population: ITT Population 2

    24 months

  • Progression Free Survival (PFS) of first-line treatment ignoring first Central Nervous System (CNS) lesion

    10 / 16 months (PFS will be calculated sustained from randomization until documented PD (ignoring first CNS lesion) or death, whichever occurs first during first-line treatment )

  • PFS of second-line treatment

    8 months (PFS will be calculated sustained from registration of second line treatment until documented PD, PD CNS or death, whichever occurs first during second-line treatment)

  • PFS of second-line treatment ignoring first CNS lesion

    9 months (PFS will be calculated sustained from registration of second line treatment until documented PD (ignoring first CNS lesion) or death, whichever occurs first during second-line treatment)

  • Time to failure of strategy (TFS) of first- plus second-line treatment

    18 / 24 months (TFS will be calculated sustained from randomization until documented PD, PD CNS or death, whichever occurs first before starting third-line therapy )

  • +10 more secondary outcomes

Eligibility Criteria

  • Prior neoadjuvant/adjuvant chemotherapy is allowed if doses for anthracyclines have not exceeded 720mg/m2 and 240mg/m2 for epirubicin and doxorubicin, respectively.
  • \- Re-exposure to paclitaxel is permitted, if the last dose of taxane was given at least 1 year before randomization.
  • \- Re-exposure to vinorelbine is permitted, if the last dose of vinorelbine was given at least 1 year before randomization.
