Summary

English Translation (Professional Medical Version) This study is a multicenter, prospective clinical trial designed to investigate the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant therapy with trastuzumab plus pertuzumab combined with metronomic vinorelbine chemotherapy in elderly patients with HER2-positive breast cancer.

Eligible patients were aged ≥70 years, with histopathologically confirmed primary HER2-positive breast cancer, and met the indications for neoadjuvant therapy as stipulated in the clinical guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer.

A Simon two-stage design was employed in this study, with a planned total enrollment of 45 patients. In the first stage, 14 patients would be enrolled. If the number of observed responders was no more than 6, the trial would be terminated; otherwise, the trial would advance to the second stage, and the total sample size would be expanded to 45 patients.

The treatment regimen comprised 6 cycles of trastuzumab combined with pertuzumab (subcutaneous pertuzumab/trastuzumab fixed-dose combination was permitted as an alternative to intravenous formulations) plus metronomic vinorelbine therapy. Tumor response was assessed by imaging every 2 cycles. Patients with a confirmed response would complete all 6 cycles of treatment and undergo surgery per investigator assessment; postoperative pathological reports would be evaluated to determine the achievement of tpCR. For non-responders, the treatment regimen would be modified or surgery would be performed at the investigator's discretion.

Interventions

COMBINATION_PRODUCT

neoadjuvant therapy

Vinorelbine soft capsules 40 mg, orally (PO), three times weekly (tiw) Trastuzumab: initial loading dose 8 mg/kg, maintenance dose 6 mg/kg, intravenous infusion, administered once every 3 weeks. Pertuzumab: initial loading dose 840 mg, maintenance dose 420 mg, intravenous infusion, administered once every 3 weeks. Each treatment cycle lasts 3 weeks. Imaging evaluations, including breast MRI, ultrasonography and computed tomography (CT), were performed every 2 cycles. For patients with tumor response, surgical indication was assessed after 6 cycles of treatment. Postoperative pathology was used to determine the pathological complete response (pCR) rate, and adjuvant treatment regimens were formulated according to postoperative pathological findings.
