WSG-ADAPT HER2+/HR+: Background Current standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy plus anti- HER2 therapy in pts with HER2+ EBC independent of HR status Triple-positive (HER2+/HR+) EBC distinct entity Outcomes after standard therapy differ according to HR status; endocrine + anti-HER2 tx may be effective option Outcome data for neoadjuvant T-DM1 ± endocrine therapy is lacking for this pt population Current study[1] compared safety, efficacy of T-DM1 ± endocrine therapy vs trastuzumab + endocrine therapy in HER2+/HR+ EBC Interim analysis[2] (n = 130) previously presented EBC, early breast cancer; HR, hormone receptor; T-DM1, trastuzumab emtansine; tx, treatment. 1.
