Full Title
Paclitaxel, Trastuzumab, and Pertuzumab in the Treatment of Metastatic HER2-Positive Breast Cancer
Purpose
Paclitaxel and trastuzumab are standard drugs used to treat breast cancer. Trastuzumab is used to treat breast cancers that produce too much of a protein called HER2.
In this study, researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of combination treatment with paclitaxel, trastuzumab, and the investigational drug pertuzumab in women with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer. Pertuzumab is similar to trastuzumab in that it is an antibody targets the HER2 protein.
