HER2-POSITIVE BREAST CANCER
CDK4/6 inhibitors have shown a synergistic effect with anti-HER2 therapy in hormone receptor (HR)-positive and HER2-positive breast cancer (BC). In this phase 2 study (NCT04293276), we aim to evaluate a dual-oral regimen of CDK4/6 inhibitor dalpiciclib combined with HER2 tyrosine kinase inhibitor pyrotinib as front-line treatment in women with HER2-positive advanced BC (Dalpiciclib is a CDK4/6 inhibitor, recently approved for treatment in advanced breast cancer patients in China. Here, the authors report the results of a phase II trial investigating oral dalpiciclib (CDK4/6 inhibitor) and pyrotinib (pan-HER inhibitor) in patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer.
