HER2 is activated in two different ways Overexpression: o o Arising from gene amplification which results in constitutive activation of HER2 (ligand independent) Antagonized by trastuzumab Co-receptor: o For other HER family members especially HER3 (ligand dependent) o Antagonized by pertuzumab
HER2 is activated in two different ways Overexpression: o o Arising from gene amplification which results in constitutive activation of HER2 (ligand independent) Antagonized by trastuzumab Co-receptor: o For other HER family members especially HER3 (ligand dependent) o Antagonized by pertuzumab
Pertuzumab binds to a different epitopes on HER2 than trastuzumab Pertuzumab Dimerization domain of HER2 Ø Pertuzumab prevents ligand-induced HER2-HER3 dimerization Ø Pertuzumab flags cells for destruction by the immune system via ADCC
In contrast to trastuzumab, pertuzumab inhibits HRG-mediated HER2 signaling ErbB2/ErbB3 co-ip AKT Agus DBm et al. Cancer Cell 2002 18
Pertuzumab mediates ADCC (similar to Trastuzumab)
Hypotheses HER2 positive breast cancers are driven by both ligand-independent and ligand-dependent HER2-HER3 complexes Dual blockade of these complexes with trastuzumab and pertuzumab should result in greater clinical activity than treatment with trastuzumab alone

STATISTICAL CONSIDERATIONS Target enrolment of at least 8,000 pa8ents. Timing of primary analysis: 850 DFS events are required for the comparison of L + T vs. T (80% power using a 2- sided alpha error = 0.0167); OR 4.5 years median follow- up, whichever comes first. Event rate lower than anzcipated: the current analysis is based on 555 DFS events at a median follow- up of 4.49 years (range: 1 day to 6.40 years). First interim efficacy analysis (IDMC on 18 th August 2011): comparison of lapa8nib alone versus trastuzumab crossed the fu8lity boundary; pa8ents switched to trastuzumab. Lapa8nib alone arm is not reported here.
CURRENT ANALYSIS PLAN Sta8s8cal procedures for the two remaining pairwise comparisons are: Comparison L + T vs. T AssumpZons Test superiority in ITT popula8on at alpha = 0.025 T L vs. T Test non- inferiority in per protocol popula8on (PPP) at alpha = 0.025 Primary (inferen,al) analysis: 97.5% CI; Descrip,ve analyses: 95% CI 63

CONCLUSIONS 1. 1-year Trastuzumab is the standard of care in patients treated a. In adjuvant b. In neoadjuvant 2. Pertuzumab in combination with Trastuzumab seems to be a new SOC in the neoadjuvant setting 3. SC Trastuzumab might be a more convenient strategy to administer trastuzumab
