MEDSIR announced today the positive results of the PHERGain trial. This study is the first to use an adaptive design that tailors treatment in the neoadjuvant/adjuvant setting of patients with HER2-positive early breast cancer. The main objective of this trial was to assess the feasibility of a chemotherapy-free strategy based on a dual HER2 blockade with trastuzumab and pertuzumab through a positron emission tomography (PET)-based, pathologic complete response response(pCR)-adapted strategy.
