Laborértékek

• Any of the following abnormal baseline hematological values:
  • White blood count (WBC) < 2.5 x 109/L
  • Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) < 1.5 x 109/L
  • Lymphocyte count < 0.5 x 109/L
  • Platelet count < 100 x 109/L
  • Hemoglobin (Hb) < 10 g/dL
• Any of the following abnormal baseline laboratory tests
  • Serum total bilirubin > 1.5 x ULN (upper limit of normal) (except for patients with clearly documented Gilbert's syndrome)
  • Alanine transaminase (ALT) or aspartate transaminase (AST) > 1.25 x ULN
  • Alkaline phosphatase > 2.5xx ULN
  • Serum creatinine > 1.5 x ULN
  • INR and aPTT > 1.5 × ULN within 2 weeks prior to enrollment. This applies only to patients who are not receiving therapeutic anticoagulation; patients receiving therapeutic anticoagulation should be on a stable dose.
• Baseline left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) < 50% by echocardiography or multi-gated scintigraphic scan (MUGA)

Egyéb

• Patients with HER2-negative defined as 0-1+ by immunohistochemistry or 2+ by immunohistochemistry without HER2 amplification by either In Situ Hybridization (ISH) or other amplification tests done locally are considered not eligible for the study
• Pregnant or lactating women. Documentation of a negative pregnancy test must be available for premenopausal women with intact reproductive organs and for women less than one year after the last menstrual cycle
• Women with childbearing potential unless (1) surgically sterile or (2) using adequate measures of contraception, for example abstinence, an intra-uterine device, or double barrier method of contraception
• Pre-existing motor or sensory neuropathy of grade > 1 for any reason

• Female patients aged 18 years or older with early high-risk ((T1cN1; T2N1; T3N0) or locally advanced and inflammatory breast cancers (stage III A-C according to AJCC) suitable for neoadjuvant treatment
• Histologically confirmed unilateral invasive breast cancer
• HER2 positive disease according to ASCO/CAP guidelines 2013 [defined as IHC 3+ or ISH positive (by gene copy number or HER2 gene/CEP17 ratio of 2 or greater)]
• Known estrogen (ER) and progesterone receptor (PgR)
• Availability of a representative paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor block taken at diagnostic biopsy for central confirmation of HER2 eligibility, for assessment of ER, PgR, Ki67 and PD-L1 expression and for biomarker evaluation is mandatory. Note: the diagnostic biopsy of the breast lesion may have been taken before the required screening procedures. If diagnostic sentinel node biopsy if performed, an FFPE block must be available. An FFPE tumor block is also mandatory after the first cycle of therapy. Surgery tissue (residual tumor or tumor bed in case of pCR and axillary node material) is also mandatory.
• Consent to the collection of blood samples mandatorily before starting neoadjuvant treatment, after the first cycle of therapy, at the end of neoadjuvant treatment (before surgery), 6 months after surgery and at the end of all treatments.
• ECOG performance status 0 or 1
• For women who are not postmenopausal (≥ 12 months of non-therapy-induced amenorrhea) or surgically sterile (absence of ovaries and/or uterus): agreement to remain abstinent or use single or combined contraceptive methods that result in a failure rate of < 1% per year during the treatment period and for at least 6 months after the last dose of study drugs. Abstinence is only acceptable if it is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the patient. Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, or postovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception. Examples of contraceptive methods with a failure rate of < 1% per year include tubal ligation, male sterilization, hormonal implants, established, proper use of combined oral or injected hormonal contraceptives, and certain intrauterine devices. Alternatively, two methods (e.g., two barrier methods such as a condom and a cervical cap) may be combined to achieve a failure rate of < 1% per year. Barrier methods must always be supplemented with the use of a spermicide
• Written informed consent to participate in the trial (approved by the Institutional Review Board [IRB]/ Independent Ethics Committee [IEC]) obtained prior to any study specific screening procedures
• Willing and able to comply with the protocol
