Neoadjuvant pyrotinib, trastuzumab, and docetaxel for HER2-positive breast cancer (PHEDRA): a double-blind, randomized phase 3 trial
Excerpt:The tpCR rate was 41.0% (95% CI 34.0 to 48.4) in the pyrotinib group compared with 22.0% (95% CI 16.6 to 28.7) in the placebo group (difference, 19.0% [95% CI 9.5 to 28.4]; one-sided P < 0.0001). The objective response rate per investigator was 91.6% (95% CI 86.6 to 94.8) in the pyrotinib group and 81.9% (95% CI 75.6 to 86.9) in the placebo group after the neoadjuvant treatment, resulting in an increase of 9.7% (95% CI 2.7 to 16.6)....Neoadjuvant pyrotinib, trastuzumab, and docetaxel significantly improved the tpCR rate compared with placebo, trastuzumab, and docetaxel, with manageable toxicity, providing a new option for HER2-positive early or locally advanced breast cancer.

LBA19 - Pyrotinib or placebo in combination with trastuzumab and docetaxel for HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer (PHILA): A randomized phase III trial
Excerpt:Median follow-up was 15.8 mo and 14.9 mo, respectively. PFS per INV of PyroHT was significantly longer than HT (median, 24.3 mo [95% CI 19.1-33.0] vs 10.4 mo [95% CI 9.3-12.3]; HR, 0.41 [95% CI 0.32-0.53]; P < 0.0001; subgroup results are in Table 1), which was consistent with PFS per IRC (median, 33.0 vs 10.4 mo; HR, 0.35 [95% CI 0.27-0.46]). PyroHT significantly prolonged PFS over HT in pts with HER2-positive mBC. The safety is manageable. To our knowledge, this is the second phase 3 trial to demonstrate PFS benefit from dual HER2 inhibition in 1L treatment of HER2-positive mBC.

The successful application of pyrotinib in the treatment of primary trastuzumab-resistant HER-2-positive breast cancer with bilateral axillary lymph node metastasis: a case report
Excerpt:...a 47-year-old woman diagnosed with HER-2 positive breast cancer with regional lymph nodes metastasis...The patient received trastuzumab-based treatment, but this only afforded a progression-free survival of 5 months, owing to primary trastuzumab resistance. She was then successfully treated with pyrotinib, and the outcome was close to clinical complete response (CCR) with a progression-free survival of over 27 months thus far. This case report may help inform clinicians in the diagnosis of breast cancer with CAM and offer the treatment options in HER-2-positive metastasis breast cancer with primary trastuzumab resistance.
