Study Summary
This trial is testing pertuzumab, trastuzumab, and paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation to see how well it works in treating HER2-positive stage II-IV breast cancer.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with HER2-positive advanced breast cancer who haven't had chemotherapy or trastuzumab for metastatic disease. They should have adequate blood counts, no serious medical conditions, and not be pregnant. Prior adjuvant therapy is allowed if it was over 12 months ago. Participants must agree to use contraception during the study.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests how well a combination of pertuzumab, trastuzumab, and paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation works in treating stage II-IV breast cancer by blocking tumor growth or killing tumor cells.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include allergic reactions to the drugs, possible damage to heart muscle leading to heart failure (especially since these drugs can affect heart function), nerve damage causing numbness or tingling sensations, and typical chemotherapy-related issues like nausea, fatigue, hair loss, and increased risk of infection.

Eligibility Criteria:
This trial includes the following eligibility criteria:- You have not received chemotherapy or trastuzumab for metastatic breast cancer treatment before.If you have metastatic breast cancer, you can participate if you had chemotherapy and trastuzumab more than 12 months ago.Your white blood cell count is at least 3.0 billion cells per liter.You have active hepatitis B or C.You have nerve problems worse than mild.Your heart's pumping ability was less than 50% during previous treatment with trastuzumab.You are able to carry out your normal activities without restrictions or with only a little restriction due to your medical condition.You currently have active HIV.You need to have a certain level of a type of white blood cells called neutrophils in your blood.You don't have any other cancer that is currently growing, except for non-melanoma skin cancer. If you finished treatment for another cancer and have a low chance of it coming back, you can still join the study.You have cancer that has spread to your brain or spinal cord.You have advanced breast cancer that has spread to other parts of your body, or you have a specific type of breast cancer called HER2 over-expression.You have been treated for breast cancer or any other invasive cancer within the last 5 years.Your liver enzymes (AST and ALT) are not more than two times the normal limit.You have not received any treatment for your metastatic breast cancer except for anti-estrogen therapy. If you had chemotherapy for breast cancer in the past, it should have been at least 12 months ago. If you had a different type of cancer more than 5 years ago, you can still participate as long as you have not been treated with nab-paclitaxel before.Your platelet count is at least 100 billion per liter.Your hemoglobin level is at least 9 grams per deciliter.Women who could become pregnant must have a negative pregnancy test.You have received a high dose of doxorubicin or a similar drug as part of previous treatment.You have had a different type of cancer, except for basal cell skin cancer.Your tumor shows specific levels of hormone receptors and HER2 expression, as determined by lab tests.Your total bilirubin level should be no higher than 1.3 mg/dl, which is the normal level in the hospital where the study is taking place.Your kidney function is within the normal range.Your heart is pumping blood normally, as shown by a recent heart test.
