Pyrotinib Combined With Trastuzumab and Pertuzumab for Maintenance Therapy in HER2-Positive Advanced Breast Cancer

The current standard of care for first-line treatment of HER2+ advanced breast cancer consists of induction chemotherapy with a taxane (T) in combination with dual anti-HER2 monoclonal antibody, trastuzumab (H) and pertuzumab (P), followed by maintenance therapy with HP. However, most patients eventually experience disease progression on this regimen and not all will be able to receive a second-line treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pyrotinib combined with HP as maintenance therapy for HER2-positive advanced breast cancer patients. The results are expected to provide real-world evidence for optimizing first-line maintenance treatment strategies in patients with HER2+ advanced breast cancer who had completed induction therapy with THP.
