Conditions

HER2-positive Carcinoma of Breast

Brief summary

This study will determine whether CT-P6 and Herceptin are equivalent in patients with early-stage breast cancer undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Our hypothesis is that the pathologic complete response rate will be equivalent in patients treated with neoadjuvant CT-P6 or Herceptin. Patients will receive 8 cycles of neoadjuvant systemic therapy and up to 10 cycles of therapy in the adjuvant setting.

Overall Response Rate (ORR) From Local ReviewAfter Neo-adjuvant therapy (up to 24 weeks)The ORR was defined as the proportion of patients with a BOR of CR or PR as assessed by RECIST guideline Version 1.1 during the Nedadjuvant Period.
Disease-free SurvivalUp to 3 years from the day of last patient enrollment (during whole study period)Patients who underwent breast surgery were included in the DFS analysis. Disease-free survival was defined as the interval between the date of breast surgery and disease progression, recurrence, or death from any cause, whichever occurred first. Only a recurrence or progression of disease that occurred before beginning another anticancer therapy was regarded as an event.
