A randomised, multicentre, multinational Phase II study to evaluate pertuzumab in combination with trastuzumab given either concomitantly or sequentially with standard anthracycline based chemotherapy or concomitantly with a non-anthracycline based chemotherapy regimen, as neoadjuvant therapy for patients with locally advanced, inflammatory or early stage HER2-positive breast cancer. - ND

At least 4 weeks since major unrelated surgery, with full recovery. 9. A negative pregnancy test must be available for pre-menopausal women and for women less than 12 months after the onset of menopause. 10. For women of childbearing potential, agreement to use a highly-effective, non-hormonal form of contraception or two effective forms of non-hormonal contraception by the patient and/or partner. Contraception must continue for the duration of study treatment and for at least 6 months after the last dose of study treatment 11. Signed informed consent.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Metastatic disease (Stage IV) or bilateral breast cancer. 2. Previous anticancer therapy or radiotherapy for any malignancy. 3. Other malignancy, except for carcinoma in situ of the cervix, basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin that has been previously treated with curative intent. 4. Inadequate bone marrow function (e.g. Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) 1.25 x ULN (with the exception of Gilberts syndrome), AST, ALT > 1.25 x ULN, albumin 1.5 x ULN.7. Uncontrolled hypertension (systolic > 150 and/or diastolic > 100), unstable angina, CHF of any NYHA classification, serious cardiac arrhythmia requiring treatment (exception, atrial fibrillation, paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia), history of myocardial infarction within 6 months of enrollment, or LVEF 10 mg methylprednisolone, or equivalent [excluding inhaled steroids]) 16. Known hypersensitivity to any of the study drugs or excipients. 17. Patients assessed by the Investigator to be unable or unwilling to comply with the requirements of the protocol.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To make a preliminary assessment of the tolerability of neoadjuvant treatment with one of the following treatment regimens: FEC->T with trastuzumab and pertuzumab given from the start of the chemotherapy regimen (i.e. concurrently with the anthracycline). (Arm A). OR FEC ->T with trastuzumab and pertuzumab given from the start of the taxane treatment (i.e. sequentially with the anthracycline). (Arm B). OR TCH with pertuzumab, with both antibodies being given from the start of the chemotherapy. (Arm C).;Secondary Objective: To make a preliminary assessment of the activity associated with each regimen as indicated by the pathological complete response (pCR) rate. To evaluate the safety profiles of each treatment regimen, including pre-operative (neoadjuvant) and post-operative (adjuvant) treatment. To investigate the overall survival, the time to clinical response, time-to-response, disease free survival and progression free survival for each treatment arm. To investigate the biomarkers that may be associated with primary and secondary efficacy endpoints in accordance with each treatment arm. To investigate the rate of breast conservative surgery for all patients with T2-3 tumors for whom mastectomy was planned at diagnosis. An overall assessment of the risk and benefit of each regimen will be made.;Primary end point(s): The primary objective of the study is to describe the tolerability of the treatment regimens in Arms A, B and C during neoadjuvant treatment. The primary endpoint of this study therefore does not relate to efficacy. The following safety endpoints are considered of primary importance for the evaluation of the primary objective: Incidence of symptomatic cardiac events as assessed by the Investigator (Grade 3, 4 or 5 symptomatic LVSD) LVEF measures over the course of the neoadjuvant period (LVEF decline of &amp;#8805; 10% from baseline and to a value of <50% ).
