Regulatory approval
Published by the Health Service Executive.
The Republic of Ireland's Health Service Executive (HSE) has approved pertuzumab in combination with trastuzumab and chemotherapy for the adjuvant treatment of adult patients with HER2-positive breast cancer at high risk of recurrence. This indication is based on APHINITY (BO25126), a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 3 trial. Investigators selected one of the following chemotherapy regimes: (i) 3 or 4 cycles of FEC or 5-fluorouracil, doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide (FAC), followed by 3 or 4 cycles of docetaxel or 12 cycles of weekly paclitaxel; (ii) 4 cycles of AC or epirubicin and cyclophosphamide (EC), followed by 3 or 4 cycles of docetaxel or 12 cycles of weekly paclitaxel; or (iii) 6 cycles of docetaxel in combination with carboplatin.
This is written in the approval document as:
Pertuzumab in combination with trastuzumab and chemotherapy for the adjuvant treatment of adult patients with HER2-positive breast cancer at high risk of recurrence.
