Official title: Cohort Study of Adjuvant Chemotherapy Combined With Targeted Therapy for Intermediate Risk HER2 Positive and Lymph Node Negative Early Breast Cancer

Run by Peking University People's Hospital · NCT06711068 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study is testing whether a new treatment approach that combines targeted therapy with less chemotherapy can help women with early HER2-positive breast cancer and no lymph node involvement feel better while reducing side effects.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates include patients with T1c or T2, N0 HER2-positive breast cancer who have undergone radical surgery and meet specific pathological criteria.

Probably not a fit

Patients with metastatic breast cancer, bilateral breast cancer, or those who have received preoperative neoadjuvant therapy may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of reducing chemotherapy in patients with intermediate risk HER2-positive early breast cancer who have negative lymph nodes. The study focuses on patients who have undergone radical resection and have specific pathological characteristics. By exploring the potential of targeted therapy combined with chemotherapy, the research seeks to identify a treatment strategy that minimizes toxicity while maintaining effectiveness. The goal is to improve outcomes for patients who traditionally may not benefit from the standard treatment regimen.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could lead to more effective and less toxic treatment options for patients with early HER2-positive breast cancer.

How similar studies have gone: While targeted therapies have shown promise in other studies, this specific approach for lymph node negative patients is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested.
