Résumé

In the phase III, open-label, randomised HannaH study, fixed-dose neoadjuvant-adjuvant subcutaneous trastuzumab for human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive early breast cancer was non-inferior to standard weight-based intravenous infusion in terms of serum trough concentration and pathological complete response (pCR). Evidence suggests that pCR, particularly total pCR (tpCR), is likely to predict clinical benefit. We report associations between tpCR and event-free survival (EFS) from HannaH (the largest population from a single study of patients presenting with newly diagnosed HER2-positive breast cancer treated with neoadjuvant-adjuvant trastuzumab to date) plus long-term efficacy and safety.
