A Randomized Controlled, Phase III Trial in HER2-positive Lymph Node Positive Early Breast Cancer to Compare the Efficacy and Safety of Epriubin Plus Cyclophosphamide Followed by Docetaxel Plus Trastuzumab and Pertuzumab (EC-THP) Versus Docetaxel and Carboplatin Plus Trastuzumab and Pertuzumab (TCbHP) in the Adjuvant Treatment

compare the efficacy and safety of TCbHP and EC-THP regimen in HER2-positive breast cancer patients

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The objective of this study is to conduct a randomized controlled clinical study to compare the efficacy and safety of TCbHP and EC-THP regimen in HER2-positive breast cancer patients, so as to further optimize adjuvant chemotherapy regimen for breast cancer.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Arm A:TCbHP
Docetaxel 75mg/m2 ivgtt d1+ carboplatin AUC=6 ivgtt d1+ trastuzumab first dose 8mg/kg (maintain 6mg/kg) d1 ivgtt d1+ Pertuzumab first dose 840mg (maintain 420mg) ivgtt d1, 3 weeks of treatment, a total of 6 courses. After the completion of chemotherapy, the dual-target therapy was continued for one year.
Docetaxel is a taxoid antineoplastic agent used in the treatment of breast cancer
Carboplatin is a DNA synthesis inhibitor which binds to DNA, inhibits replication and transcription and induces cell death.
Trastuzumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody derived from recombinant DNA,
Pertuzumab is a recombinant humanized monoclonal antibody that specifically binds to the extracellular dimerization domain (subdomain Ⅱ) of epidermal growth factor receptor 2(HER2).
Active Comparator: Arm B:EC-THP
Epirubicin 90 mg/m2 ivgtt d1+ cyclophosphamide 600 mg/m2 iv d1, 3 weeks of treatment, a total of 4 courses; Docetaxel 100mg/m2 ivgtt d1+ trastuzumab first dose 8mg/kg (maintenance 6mg/kg) d1 ivgtt d1+ pertuzumab first dose 840mg (maintenance 420mg) ivgtt d1, 3 weeks of treatment, a total of 6 courses. After the completion of chemotherapy, the dual-target therapy was continued for one year.

Pertuzumab is a recombinant humanized monoclonal antibody that specifically binds to the extracellular dimerization domain (subdomain Ⅱ) of epidermal growth factor receptor 2(HER2).
Epirubicin is an antineoplastic agent derived from doxorubicin.Epirubicin, like doxorubicin, exerts its antitumor effects by interference with the synthesis and function of DNA and is most active during the S phase of the cell cycle.
An anticancer (antitumor or cytotoxic) chemotherapy drug that is classified as an alkylating agent. Alkylating agents are compounds that prevent the normal connection of the double helix chain by adding an alkyl group to the guanine base of the DNA molecule. It causes breaks in DNA strands, affecting the ability of cancer cells to proliferate.
