Pyrotinib in combination with letrozole for hormone receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-positive metastatic breast cancer (PLEHERM): a multicenter, single-arm, phase II trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) targeted therapy combined with endocrine therapy has been recommended as an alternative treatment strategy for patients with hormone receptor (HR)-positive, HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC). This study aimed to evaluate the role of pyrotinib, an oral pan-HER irreversible tyrosine kinase inhibitor, in combination with letrozole for patients with HR-positive, HER2-positive MBC.

Methods

In this multi-center, phase II trial, HR-positive and HER2-positive MBC patients who were not previously treated for metastasis disease were enrolled. Patients received daily oral pyrotinib 400 mg and letrozole 2.5 mg until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal of consent. The primary endpoint was the clin
