THE PATIENT MUST FULFIL THE ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA WITHIN THE DETERMINE MASTER PROTOCOL (NCT05722886) AND WITHIN THE TREATMENT ARM 04 (TRASTUZUMAB AND PERTUZUMAB) OUTLINED BELOW\* \*When trastuzumab- and pertuzumab-specific inclusion/exclusion criteria or precautions below differ from those specified in the Master Protocol, the trastuzumab- and pertuzumab-specific criteria will take precedence. Inclusion Criteria: A. Confirmed diagnosis of a malignancy harbouring HER2 amplification, or an appropriate activating mutation as defined by the MTB, using an analytically validated next-generation sequencing method. • A HER2 amplification copy number between 5-9 will require an MTB discussion. A HER2 amplification copy number ≥10 will be fast-tracked for an MTB recommendation, unless there are any patient-specific individualities (such as multiple gene amplifications) that require MTB discussion. B. Age 12 years or above. C. Women of childbearing potential are eligible provided that they meet the following criteria: Have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test before enrolment and; Agree to use one form of effective birth control method such as: I. combined (oestrogen and progestogen containing) hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation (oral, intravaginal or transdermal): II. progestogen-only hormonal contraception associated with or without inhibition of ovulation (oral, injectable or implantable) III. intrauterine device (IUD) IV. intrauterine hormone-releasing system (IUS) V. bilateral tubal occlusion VI. vasectomised partner VII. sexual abstinence VIII. male or female condom with or without spermicide IX. cap, diaphragm or sponge with spermicide Effective from the first administration of trastuzumab or pertuzumab (whichever is first), throughout the trial and for seven months after the last administration of trastuzumab or pertuzumab (whichever is later). D. Male patients with partners who are women of childbearing potential are eligible provided that they agree to the following, from the first administration of trastuzumab or pertuzumab (whichever is first), throughout the trial and for seven months after the last administration of trastuzumab or pertuzumab (whichever is later): * Agree to take measures not to father children by using a barrier method of contraception (condom plus spermicide) or to sexual abstinence. * Non-vasectomised male patients with partners who are women of childbearing potential must also be willing to ensure that their partner uses an effective method of contraception as in C, above. * Male patients with pregnant or lactating partners must be advised to use barrier method contraception (e.g. condom) to prevent drug exposure of the foetus or neonate. All male patients must refrain from donating sperm for the same period. E. Patients must be able and willing to undergo a fresh tissue biopsy at baseline and blood samples for translational research. Note that for patients with haematological malignancies or neuroblastomas, blood, bone marrow aspiration and/or trephine or lymph node biopsy samples may be taken. F. ADULT PATIENTS (≥18 years): Adequate organ function as per haematological and biochemical indices within the ranges defined in the protocol. These measurements should be performed to confirm the patient's eligibility. G. PAEDIATRIC PATIENTS (\<18 years): Adequate organ function as per haematological and biochemical indices within the ranges defined in the protocol. These measurements should be performed to confirm the patient's eligibility. Exclusion Criteria: A. Diagnosis of HER2-positive early or metastatic breast cancer. B. Female patients who are pregnant, breastfeeding or planning to become pregnant during the trial or within seven months following their last dose of trastuzumab or pertuzumab (whichever is later). C. Severe dyspnoea at rest due to complications of advanced malignancy or requiring supplementary oxygen therapy. D. Known hypersensitivity to trastuzumab or pertuzumab, murine proteins, or to any of the excipients. E. Patients who were administered a live, attenuated vaccine within 28 days prior to enrolment, or anticipation of need for such a vaccine during trastuzumab and pertuzumab treatment or within six months after the final dose of trastuzumab and pertuzumab. F. Patients with clinically significant pre-existing cardiac conditions, including uncontrolled or symptomatic angina, uncontrolled atrial or ventricular arrhythmias (within three months), NYHA class III or IV congestive heart failure. Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction \<55%. Patients with a cerebrovascular event (including stroke or transient ischaemic attack \[TIA\]) or cardiovascular event (including acute myocardial infarction \[MI\]) within three months before the first dose of trastuzumab and pertuzumab. • Patients with primary CNS tumours may be considered unless intra-tumoural bleeding has occurred within 2 weeks of the first dose of trastuzumab and pertuzumab, and patients with punctate CNS haemorrhages \<3 mm may be considered. G. Prior treatment with the same class of drug unless genetic profile demonstrates a mechanism of resistance known to be potentially sensitive to trastuzumab or pertuzumab. H. Any clinically significant concomitant disease or condition (or its treatment) that could interfere with the conduct of the trial or absorption of oral medications or that would, in the opinion of the Investigator, pose an unacceptable risk to the patient in this trial. I. Known active infections (bacterial, fungal or viral) that would interfere with the assessment of safety or efficacy of trastuzumab and pertuzumab, including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positivity. Patients with history of testing positive for HIV infection are eligible provided the each of the following conditions are met: * CD4 count ≥350/μL; * undetectable viral load; * receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART) that does not interact with IMP (patients should be on established ART for at least four weeks); and * no HIV/ acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS)-associated opportunistic infection in the last 12 months.
