Neratinib in Extended Adjuvant Treatment for HER2+ Early Breast Cancer With pCR But High-Risk Features: A Hebei Multi-Center Real-World Study
Sponsor: Hebei Medical University Fourth Hospital
Summary
Neratinib is an oral, irreversible pan-HER tyrosine kinase inhibitor. Current treatment guidelines recommend neratinib as an extended adjuvant therapy for HER2-positive breast cancer patients to further reduce the risk of recurrence. Even when HER2-positive breast cancer patients achieve pathological complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant therapy, those with high-risk factors (such as large tumors \[cT3/T4\] or lymph node-positive disease) still face a risk of cancer returning. However, there is limited data on the effectiveness and safety of neratinib in these patients. This study aims to provide real-world evidence on how well neratinib works in high-risk HER2-positive breast cancer patients who achieved pCR, helping to improve treatment strategies for Chinese patients.

Neratinib (HKI-272)
Sequential neratinib extended adjuvant therapy will be initiated within 6 months after completing standard trastuzumab-based adjuvant therapy, continuing for 1 year. As a real-world non-interventional study, treating physicians will determine neratinib regimens per the prescribing information and current clinical practice. Neratinib Dosing: Standard regimen: 240 mg (6 tablets) once daily with food for 1 year; Dose escalation (to mitigate diarrhea, per latest CSCO Breast Cancer Guidelines and FDA labeling): Week 1: 120 mg/day (days 1-7) Week 2: 160 mg/day (days 8-14) Week 3 onward: 240 mg/day (days 15-365)
