Paolo Tarantino: Final analysis of the ATEMPT phase 2 trial
Paolo Tarantino shared a post on X:
“Can ADCs help prevent recurrence from breast cancer with less impact on patients’ quality of life than traditional chemotherapy?
Glad to share the final analysis of the ATEMPT phase 2 trial, just published in JCO.
Among 383 patients with stage I HER2+ breast cancer receiving adjuvant T-DM1, 5y iDFS was 97%, with only 3 (<1%) distant recurrences observed in the trial.
Patients with higher baseline HER2DX risk score had significantly higher risk of recurrence, further supporting validation of this biomarker to tailor treatments for HER2+ breast cancer.”
Guillermo Villacampa, Biostatistician in the Oncology Data Science Group (OdysSey) at Vall d’Hebron Institute of Oncology (VHIO), shared Paolo Tarantino’s post on X and added:
“Wonderful!
Congratulations Paolo Tarantino and Sara Tolaney on such nice work.
A pleasure to be part of the team.”
