Summary

This trial will test a new test called MammaPrint®/BluePrint® on men and women with early-stage HER2-positive breast cancer to help with treatment decisions.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with early-stage HER2-positive breast cancer, as confirmed by specific tests. They should be fit enough for chemotherapy and surgery to remove the breast tumor and examine nearby lymph nodes. There must be no signs of cancer spread elsewhere in the body.
What is being tested?
The study is testing how well different chemotherapy drugs (Docetaxel, Trastuzumab, Pertuzumab, Paclitaxel, Nab-paclitaxel) work before surgery in patients whose tumors have a certain genetic profile indicating they are likely to respond to treatment.
What are the potential side effects?
Common side effects of these drugs include fatigue, nausea, hair loss, low blood cell counts leading to increased infection risk or bleeding problems, nerve damage causing numbness or tingling sensations.

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
Number of participants that have a pathological complete response (pCR)
Secondary outcome measures
Participant outcomes using the Quality of Life (QOL) and EORTC QOL-C30 questionnaires
Safety of the study treatment with be assessed by evaluating the number of participants experiencing Adverse Events (AEs)
Treatment tolerability will be assessed
