Brief Summary
This is an open label, neoadjuvant phase II study to evaluate the objective response, toxicity, and safety of trastuzumab emtansine in patients with newly diagnosed HER2-equivocal breast cancer. Trastuzumab emtansine at a dose of 3.6 mg/kg will be intravenously administered every 3 weeks for a total of 6 weeks. Patients who achieve a partial or complete response after the 6-week treatment (responders) will continue on trastuzumab emtansine for an additional 12 weeks.

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Female gender;
- Age ≥18 years;
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0-1;
- Histologically confirmed invasive breast cancer;
- Primary tumor greater than or equal to 1 cm diameter, as measured by clinical examination and mammography or ultrasound;
- Any N;
- No evidence of metastasis (M0) (isolated supra-clavicular node involvement allowed);
- HER2 low or equivocal status in the invasive component of the primary tumor (confirmed by a central certified laboratory prior to study entry)
- HER2 low expression: 1+/2+ by immunohistochemistry and/or HER2/CEP17 ratio \<2.0 with HER2 copy number \<6.0 signals/cell
- HER2 equivocal expression: HER2 copy number ≥4.0 and \<6.0 signals/cell;
- Hematopoietic status:
- Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1.0 x 10\^9/L, Platelet count ≥ 100 x 10\^9/L, Hemoglobin at least 9 g/dL;
- Hepatic status: Serum total bilirubin ≤1 x upper limit of normal (ULN; In the case of known Gilbert's syndrome, a higher serum total bilirubin \[\< 1.5 x ULN\] is allowed), Aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase ≤1.5 x ULN, Alkaline phosphatase ≤ 1.5 x ULN;
- Renal status: Creatinine ≤1.5 mg/dL;
- International Normalized Ratio ≤1.5 x ULN;
- +4 more criteria
You may not qualify if:
- Previous (less than 5 years) or current history of malignant neoplasms, except for curatively treated basal and squamous cell carcinoma of the skin and carcinoma in situ of the cervix;
- Patients with a prior malignancy diagnosed more than 5 years prior to study entry;
- Preexisting peripheral neuropathy ≥ grade 2;
- Known history of uncontrolled or symptomatic angina, clinically significant arrhythmias, congestive heart failure, transmural myocardial infarction, uncontrolled hypertension (≥180/110), unstable diabetes mellitus, dyspnea at rest, or chronic oxygen therapy;
- Concurrent disease or condition that would make the patient inappropriate for study participation or any serious medical disorder that would interfere with the patient's safety;
- Unresolved or unstable serious adverse events from prior administration of another investigational drug;
- Dementia, altered mental status, or any psychiatric condition that would prevent the understanding or rendering of ICF;
- Concurrent neoadjuvant cancer therapy (chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, or biologic therapy other than the trial therapy);
- Concurrent treatment with an investigational agent or participation in another therapeutic clinical trial;
- Known immediate or delayed hypersensitivity reaction or idiosyncrasy to drugs chemically related to trastuzumab emtansine or its components;
- Ejection fraction \<55% or below the lower limit of the institutional normal range;
- Pregnant or lactating women;
- Concomitant use of cytochrome P450 3A4 inhibitors or inducers;
- Other concurrent severe and/or uncontrolled concomitant medical conditions (e.g., active or uncontrolled infection, uncontrolled diabetes) that could cause unacceptable safety risks or compromise compliance with the protocol;
- Active infection requiring intravenous or oral antibiotics;
- +1 more criteria

Data Sharing
- IPD Sharing
- Will share
Data and materials on human subjects will be shared with other eligible investigators through appropriate means in accordance with the NIH policy on Sharing Research Data (NIH Guide, February 26, 2003). Data will be also shared with the funding agency and regulatory agencies as required. Data will be shared with other investigators within the limits of HIPAA and other patient confidentiality requirements. This will generally require removal of all patient identifiers for all source documents and the use of arbitrarily assigned one-way identifiers. In some cases, requestors will be asked to sign a formal data sharing agreement that will provide for a commitment to use data only for research purposes and not to identify individuals, keep the data secure, and destroy or return data after analyses are complete. Prior approval will be obtained from collaborating investigators, research sponsors, and/or other stake-holders before sharing if proprietary information or products are involved.
