TRACE will collect real-world data on the treatment of tucatinib/trastuzumab/capecitabine in a broad patient population including older patients and patients with more comorbidities as compared to the pivotal trial HER2CLIMB. In contrast to HER2CLIMB, TRACE will also include patients receiving tucatinib/trastuzumab/capecitabine during 1st and 2nd palliative therapy line who were primarily diagnosed with early breast cancer and therefore already have received two prior anti-HER2 based treatment regimens before enrollment. Until today, no reliable data is available for these patient population. TRACE will primarily focus on HRQoL using the validated EORTC QLQ C30 + QLQ-BR23 + EQ-5D-5L questionnaires. Further aims are to evaluate effectiveness and safety in distinct subgroups focusing on effectiveness of tucatinib/trastuzumab/capecitabine in patients who have experienced prior therapies with trastuzumab and neratinib or capecitabine and HER2-targeted TKIs in the neoadjuvant, adjuvant or palliative setting, respectively.
Study sites may retrospectively include patients within 9 weeks (corresponds to 3 cycles) after start of study treatment up to 6 months after activation of respective site. Retrospectively included patients may have already completed study treatment or may have already deceased at the time of inclusion.
