This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only

Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing This study
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Summary

This phase II trial is testing a less intense chemotherapy regimen for people with early-stage HER2-positive breast cancer. The experimental treatment combines paclitaxel with two targeted drugs (trastuzumab and pertuzumab), skipping the harsher anthracycline drugs. Researchers want to see if this gentler approach can still eliminate all signs of cancer before surgery, while causing fewer side effects. The study includes 186 participants and compares results to a historical group that received standard chemo.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Paclitaxel, trastuzumab, and pertuzumab (THP)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a less toxic chemotherapy option for early HER2-positive breast cancer, reducing side effects while maintaining high cure rates.
What could go wrong
This is a phase II study with only 186 participants, so results are preliminary. The experimental regimen may prove less effective than standard treatment, and long-term outcomes are not yet known.
