Brief Title: Phase 2 Trial of Pertuzumab and Trastuzumab With Weekly Paclitaxel and Chemotherapy for HER2 Positive Breast Cancer
Official Title: Single Arm, Neoadjuvant, Phase II Trial of Pertuzumab and Trastuzumab Administered Concomitantly With Weekly Paclitaxel and FEC for Clinical Stage I-II HER2-Positive Breast Cancer
Study ID: NCT01855828
Brief Summary: The main goal of this clinical trial is to test if adding pertuzumab (Perjeta), improves the anticancer activity of the combination chemotherapy regimen of trastuzumab (Herceptin) concomitant with paclitaxel, 5-fluorouracil, epirubicin, and cyclophosphamide (T-FEC). The study will also test the safety of this therapy.
Detailed Description: Subjects will receive 6 months of T-FEC chemotherapy concomitant with trastuzumab and pertuzumab before surgery. Subsequently, subjects will undergo surgery to remove any cancer from the breast and axillary lymph nodes that may have survived the chemotherapy. It is expected that the majority of women will have no viable cancer left in the breast or lymph nodes by the time all chemotherapy is completed.
