HER2CLIMB-05: Uno studio di fase III di Tucatinib Versus Placebo in combinazione con Trastuzumab e Pertuzumab come terapia di mantenimento in prima linea per il cancro al seno metastatico HER2+.

PURPOSE: The HER2CLIMB-05 study (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT05132582) is investigating the efficacy and safety of adding tucatinib to trastuzumab and pertuzumab as first-line (1L) maintenance therapy in patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-positive (HER2+) metastatic breast cancer (MBC). METHODS: Patients with centrally confirmed HER2+ MBC without evidence of progression post induction therapy and no or asymptomatic brain metastases (BM) were enrolled. Patients were randomly assigned 1:1 to tucatinib (300 mg) or placebo twice a day combined with trastuzumab/pertuzumab. The primary end point is investigator-assessed progression-free survival (PFS); secondary end poin
