Background: The SOLTI-1303-PATRICIA trial (NCT02448420) is a phase II study investigating palbociclib and trastuzumab, with or without endocrine therapy, in hormone receptor (HR)-positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC). This manuscript presents final overall survival (OS) results and biomarker analyses.
Patients And Methods: Patients previously treated with trastuzumab and two to four regimens were eligible.

Background: New HER2-targeted regimens, including chemotherapy-free options, are needed for metastatic breast cancer. In an ongoing, two-part, phase 2a study, we assessed the safety and antitumour activity of zanidatamab, a HER2-targeted bispecific antibody, plus palbociclib and fulvestrant, in heavily pretreated patients with hormone receptor-positive, HER2-positive advanced or metastatic breast cancer.
Methods: This multicentre, single-arm, two-part, phase 2a study is being conducted at 13 university hospitals, cancer centres, or research institutes in Spain, Canada, and the USA.
The redirection of T lymphocytes against tumor-associated or tumor-specific antigens, using bispecific antibodies or chimeric antigen receptors (CAR), has shown therapeutic success against certain hematological malignancies. However, this strategy has not been effective against solid tumors. Here, we describe the development of CAR T cells targeting p95HER2, a tumor-specific antigen found in HER2-amplified solid tumors.

No definitive treatment guidance currently exists beyond second line. Trastuzumab duocarmazine (T-Duo) is a third-generation, HER2-targeted antibody-drug conjugate that demonstrated efficacy and acceptable safety in phase I studies of heavily pretreated patients with HER2+/HER2-low breast cancer.
