e12080 Background: Evaluation of the histological response after neoadjuvant chemotherapy with Docetaxel-carboplatin and bio similar Trastuzumab (CANMAB 150mg) in Her2 positive breast cancer. The primary end point was pathologic complete response (pCR) rate, determined from surgical specimens. Methods: Between March 2017 and June 2018, we treated 39 patients with Her2-positive breast cancer satge II (61,5%), III (38,5%), with a neoadjuvant schedule of docetaxel (75 mg/m2), carboplatin (AUC 6) and biosimilar trastuzumab (CANMAB 150mg: 8 mg/kg loading dose then 6 mg/kg) every 3 weeks. Patients were diagnosed at a mean age of 48 years; 52,28% had hormone receptor-positive tumors and 87,17% of patients were node positive. All pts received 6 cycles of chemotherapy followed by surgery and one year of biosimilar trastuzumab. Results: We report the preliminary results of a prospective study on the use of the biosimilar trastuzumab combined with preoperative chemotherapy in Her2 positive breast cancer. Thirty nine patients (100%) completed six cycles of therapy. Surgery was breast conservative in 6 (15,38%) of 39 patients. Fifteen of the Thirty one patients (48%) achieved a pCR, Twelve of the twenty six node-positive patients (46,15%) experienced nodal conversion. There was a significantly lower response in HR-positive patients compared to HR-negative ones (26,7 vs 73,33%). No case of congestive heart failure was observed. Conclusions: The use of biosimilar trastuzumab with docetaxel and carboplatin achieved promising efficacy, with a good pCR rate (48%) in stage II or III Her2-positive breast cancer.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
