Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: HER2-positive (immunohistochemistry (IHC 3 +) or amplification detected by fluorescence in situ hybridization [FISH +]) - Age >18 - Performance status ECOG 0-1 - Life expectancy> 3 months - Neutrophils = 1.5 x 10 9 / L and PLatelets = 100 x 10 9 /L - Total bilirubin = 1.5 times upper normal limit (UNL) of the Centre - ASAT (GOT) and / or ALT (GPT) = 2.5 UNL - Alkaline phosphatase = 5 UNL (unless they are bones metastases in the absence of any liver disease.

| Main Objective: Patological Complete Response Rate, considered as a total absence of primary infiltrating tumour on breast and nodes;Secondary Objective: Clinical Response rate; Radiological response rate; Conservative surgery rate; Evaluation of cardiac toxicity; ;Primary end point(s): The sample size is calculated according to the two-stage (Minimax design) Simon method. Taking into account that the primary endpoint, the rate of pRC, is 40% for the optimal regimes (phase II studies unconfirmed) while the conventional schemes is 20%, with a difference p1-p0 = 20% between chemotherapy treatment "standard" (p0 = 20%) and "trial treatment" (p1 = 40%), and by fixing the probability of error a = 0.05 and ß = 0.20, the number of patients to be enrolled is a total of 37 (increased of 10% for predictable dropouts). ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: The study will be stopped if less than 3 responses will be observed in the first 19 patients, otherwise will continue to enroll until a total of 41 patients. | — |
