Protocol B-41
A Randomized Phase III Trial of Neoadjuvant Therapy for Patients with Palpable and Operable HER2-Positive Breast Cancer Comparing the Combination of Trastuzumab Plus Lapatinib to Trastuzumab and to Lapatinib Administered with Weekly Paclitaxel Following AC Accompanied by Correlative Science Studies to Identify Predictors of Pathologic Complete Response
Specific Aims
The primary aims of this study are to determine whether the regimen of AC → weekly paclitaxel (WP) plus trastuzumab plus lapatinib yields a greater rate of pCR than the regimen of AC → WP plus trastuzumab and to determine whether the regimen of AC → WP plus lapatinib yields a greater rate of pCR than the regimen of AC → WP plus trastuzumab.
