ABSTRACT: Background
HER2DX is a prognostic and predictive assay in early-stage HER2-positive breast cancer based on clinical features and the expression of 4 gene signatures (immune, proliferation, luminal differentiation and HER2 amplicon), including ERBB2 mRNA levels. Here, we evaluated the ability of HER2DX to predict efficacy of a de-escalated, chemotherapy-free neoadjuvant regimen in HER2-positive/hormone receptor-positive breast cancer.Methods
HER2DX was evaluated on pre-treatment tumour samples from the PerELISA phase II study focused on postmenopausal patients with operable HER2-positive/hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. Patients received 2-weeks of letrozole, and then underwent a re-biopsy for Ki67 evaluation. Patients with endocrine therapy sensitive disease (ESD) (
