Summary

This trial is testing whether a combination of drugs is effective and has few side effects when given before surgery to people with HER2-positive or HER2-negative breast cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for women over 18 with breast cancer, who have a performance status of 0-2 and normal heart function. HER2 positive patients receive carboplatin, paclitaxel, pertuzumab, and trastuzumab; HER2 negative get bevacizumab instead. Exclusions include men, pregnant/nursing women not using contraception, unhealed wounds, allergies to treatments, significant heart conditions or bleeding risks.
What is being tested?
The study tests the effectiveness and safety of combining chemotherapy drugs (carboplatin and paclitaxel) with targeted therapies (pertuzumab and trastuzumab for HER2 positive or bevacizumab for HER2 negative) in treating early-stage breast cancer before surgery.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include allergic reactions to medications used; nerve damage causing sensory changes; increased risk of infection due to lowered white blood cell counts; potential heart problems; fatigue from anemia caused by low red blood cells.
