Survival analysis after neoadjuvant chemotherapy with trastuzumab or lapatinib in patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2–positive breast cancer in the GeparQuinto (G5) Study (GBG 44)

Journal of Clinical Oncology Mar 21, 2018

Untch M, et al. - In the GeparQuinto phase III trial, it was shown that the addition of lapatinib to standard anthracycline–taxane chemotherapy compared with trastuzumab in patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) –positive breast cancer resulted in a lower pathologic complete response (pCR; pT0 ypN0) rate. Researchers, herein, report the long-term outcomes. They noted that pCR correlated with long-term outcome. Furthermore, significantly improved survival was noted in patients who received prolonged anti-HER2 treatment (neoadjuvant lapatinib for 6 months, followed by adjuvant trastuzumab for 12 months) for hormone receptor–positive tumors, compared with those who received anti-HER2 treatment with trastuzumab alone.
