Is Carboplatin needed for the neoadjuvant treatment of HER2 positive Breast cancer?

Paolo Tarantino, Research Fellow at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, shared a recent by Xiu-Chun Chen on X:

“Is carboplatin needed for the neoadjuvant treatment of HER2 positive Breast cancer?

The HELEN006 phase 3 trial randomized patients to TCHPx6 vs NabTHPx6.

NabTHP had significantly higher pCR rate vs TCHP (66% vs 57%), with less toxicities. Compass HER-pCR trial ongoing to validate THP (x4).”

Title: De-escalated neoadjuvant weekly nab-paclitaxel with trastuzumab and pertuzumab versus docetaxel, carboplatin, trastuzumab, and pertuzumab in patients with HER2-positive early breast cancer (HELEN-006): a multicentre, randomised, phase 3 trial
