An Exploratory Study of Pertuzumab and Trastuzumab in Combination With Palbociclib and Exemestane as Neoadjuvant Therapy for Triple-Positive Breast Cancer

An Exploratory Study of Pertuzumab and Trastuzumab in Combination With Palbociclib and Exemestane as Neoadjuvant Therapy for Triple-Positive Breast Cancer

This study is a prospective, multicenter, single-arm, exploratory study. A total of 90 patients with early/later-stage triple-positive breast cancer who were scheduled to receive neoadjuvant therapy were recruited. They received neoadjuvant treatment with trastuzumab, pertuzumab, palbociclib, and exemestane in combination. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the neoadjuvant treatment regimen of trastuzumab-pertuzumab combined with palbociclib and exemestane in triple-positive breast cancer.

  2. Pre-menopausal or perimenopausal patients (if this is the case, combined with OFS, which includes bilateral oophorectomy or GnRHa drugs), or post-menopausal patients;
  3. All patients must have been pathologically confirmed as HR+/HER2 receptor positive. The estrogen receptor (ER) is positive (>10%), the progesterone receptor (PR) is positive (>1%), and the HER2 receptor is positive. Follow the 2018 ASCO-CAP HER2 positive interpretation guideline standards. The immunohistochemistry (IHC) score is 3+ or 2+ and the in situ hybridization (ISH) test is positive (ISH amplification rate ≥ 2.0);
  4. Age 18-75 years (inclusive of 18 and 75), female;
  5. ECOG score 0-1;
  6. Expected survival time ≥ 12 weeks;
