Using Pyrotinib to Reduce Recurrence Risk in Early Stage HER2-positive Breast Cancer
Official title: Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of Pyrotinib After Adjuvant Anti-HRE2 Therapy in Women With High-risk in Early or Locally Advanced Stage Breast Cancer
Run by The First Affiliated Hospital with Nanjing Medical University · NCT05834764 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing if the drug pyrotinib can help reduce the chances of breast cancer coming back in women with early stage HER2-positive breast cancer who haven't fully responded to previous treatments.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are women aged 18 to 75 with early or locally advanced HER2-positive breast cancer who have undergone prior treatment with trastuzumab and pertuzumab or T-DM1.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with metastatic disease or inflammatory breast cancer will not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This clinical trial investigates the effectiveness of pyrotinib in reducing the risk of recurrence in women with high-risk early stage HER2-positive breast cancer who have previously been treated with trastuzumab and pertuzumab or T-DM1. The study aims to build on previous findings that suggest extending anti-HER2 therapy can improve disease-free survival. Participants will be closely monitored to assess the impact of pyrotinib on their condition. The trial is designed for patients who have not achieved a pathologic complete response after neoadjuvant therapy.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could significantly lower the chances of cancer recurrence for patients with high-risk HER2-positive breast cancer.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have shown promise in extending anti-HER2 therapy, but this specific approach with pyrotinib is novel and untested.
