Trastuzumab Rezetecan (T-DXh) in HER2+ Breast Cancer With Non-pCR After TCbHP

May 11, 2026 updated by: Liu Xiaoan, The First Affiliated Hospital with Nanjing Medical University

A Single-Arm, Exploratory Study of 4 Additional Cycles of Trastuzumab Rezetecan (T-DXh) as Neoadjuvant Therapy in Patients With Early or Locally Advanced HER2-Positive Breast Cancer Who Have Non-pCR After TCbHP Neoadjuvant Therapy

This is a prospective, multi-center, single-arm, phase 2 exploratory study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of adding 4 cycles of Trastuzumab Rezetecan (T-DXh), an anti-HER2 antibody-drug conjugate, as continued neoadjuvant therapy in patients with early or locally advanced HER2-positive breast cancer who have residual invasive disease after standard 6-cycle TCbHP (taxane, carboplatin, trastuzumab, pertuzumab) neoadjuvant therapy. Patients will receive 4 cycles of T-DXh (4.8 mg/kg IV Q3W) followed by radical surgery. The primary endpoint is tpCR rate. Secondary endpoints include ORR, EFS, OS, 3-year iDFS, and safety. Simon's two-stage design (H0: pCR ≤10%, H1: pCR ≥25%, α=0.05, β=0.2) requires 43 evaluable patients; with 10% dropout, 48 patients will be enrolled.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Experimental: Experimental: Trastuzumab Rezetecan (T-DXh) as Continued Neoadjuvant Therapy

Patients with residual invasive disease after standard 6 cycles of TCbHP neoadjuvant therapy receive 4 cycles of Trastuzumab Rezetecan (T-DXh) 4.8 mg/kg intravenously every 3 weeks (Q3W), followed by radical surgery. After surgery:

  • Patients achieving pathological complete response (pCR) receive 7 additional cycles of T-DXh as adjuvant therapy.
  • Patients not achieving pCR receive investigator-selected adjuvant therapy (optional: trastuzumab + pertuzumab followed by 1 year of pyrotinib).
Drug: Trastuzumab Rezetecan
An anti-HER2 antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) consisting of a humanized HER2-targeting monoclonal antibody (trastuzumab) conjugated to a DNA topoisomerase I inhibitor (SHR169265) via a cleavable tetrapeptide linker.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Total Pathological Complete Response (tpCR)
Time Frame: At the time of surgery, approximately 12 weeks after the start of the 4-cycle Trastuzumab Rezetecan treatment.
Absence of invasive residual cancer in both the breast primary tumor and axillary lymph nodes (ypT0/is, ypN0) after neoadjuvant therapy and surgery. Presence of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is allowed.
At the time of surgery, approximately 12 weeks after the start of the 4-cycle Trastuzumab Rezetecan treatment.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
