E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
Feasibility Part: To evaluate the safety and tolerability profile of the combination docetaxel with T-DM1in patients with HER2+, inoperable, locally advanced or mBC. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of the combination of docetaxel and T-DM1 in patients with newly diagnosed HER2+ LABC and thereafter the safety and tolerability of the addition of pertuzumab to the combination trastuzumab emtansine with docetaxel. The dose of trastuzumab emtansine and docetaxel found to be feasible in MBC feasibility will be the starting dose for the LABC feasibility. Extension Part: In 2nd and 1st line MBC patients: To validate the safety and efficacy of the recommended T-DM1 dose in combination with docetaxel q3w as determined in the MBC feasibility part. In newly diagnosed LABC patients: To validate the safety and efficacy of the recommended TDM1 dose in combination with docetaxel and in combination with docetaxel and pertuzumab q3w, as determined in the LABC Feasibility Part of the study. |

• Duration of Response (DR).
• Time to treatment failure (TTF).
