Overview
Brief Summary
The main purpose of this research study is to find out if de-escalation of chemotherapy before surgery followed by a selective escalation of adjuvant targeted therapies are efficacious and tolerable in early-stage HER2 positive breast cancer.
Detailed Description
Assess the feasibility of four cycles of neoadjuvant Docetaxel Carboplatin Trastuzumab and Pertuzumab (TCHP) in women with early-stage (local/locally advanced) HER2+ breast cancer with a selective escalation of targeted HER2 directed therapy in the high risk group in the adjuvant setting. Participants with any residual disease after four cycles of TCHP will receive Trastuzumab Emtansine (TDM1) plus Pertuzumab while those with complete pathological response will receive Trastuzumab in the adjuvant settings.

Arms & Interventions
Pathologic complete response (pCR)
Participants will receive four cycles of TCHP \[docetaxel (Taxotere®), carboplatin, trastuzumab (Herceptin®), pertuzumab\], followed by surgery. Participants who achieve pathologic complete response will receive infusions of trastuzumab every 3 weeks for a total of 12 cycles/infusions.
Intervention: Docetaxel
Pathologic complete response (pCR)
Participants will receive four cycles of TCHP \[docetaxel (Taxotere®), carboplatin, trastuzumab (Herceptin®), pertuzumab\], followed by surgery. Participants who achieve pathologic complete response will receive infusions of trastuzumab every 3 weeks for a total of 12 cycles/infusions.
Intervention: Carboplatin

Intervention: Pertuzumab
Residual Disease
Participants will receive four cycles of TCHP \[docetaxel (Taxotere®, carboplatin, trastuzumab (Herceptin®), pertuzumab\], followed by surgery. Participants who have residual disease may be offered two more cycles of TCHP in the adjuvant settings (optional) per treating oncologist's discretion and then will receive infusion of Trastuzumab Emtansine (TDM1) plus pertuzumab every three weeks for a total of 12 cycles/infusions.
Intervention: Docetaxel
Residual Disease
Participants will receive four cycles of TCHP \[docetaxel (Taxotere®, carboplatin, trastuzumab (Herceptin®), pertuzumab\], followed by surgery. Participants who have residual disease may be offered two more cycles of TCHP in the adjuvant settings (optional) per treating oncologist's discretion and then will receive infusion of Trastuzumab Emtansine (TDM1) plus pertuzumab every three weeks for a total of 12 cycles/infusions.
Intervention: Carboplatin
Residual Disease

Intervention: Pertuzumab
Residual Disease
Participants will receive four cycles of TCHP \[docetaxel (Taxotere®, carboplatin, trastuzumab (Herceptin®), pertuzumab\], followed by surgery. Participants who have residual disease may be offered two more cycles of TCHP in the adjuvant settings (optional) per treating oncologist's discretion and then will receive infusion of Trastuzumab Emtansine (TDM1) plus pertuzumab every three weeks for a total of 12 cycles/infusions.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
One Year Invasive Disease-Free Survival
Time Frame: One year from the breast cancer surgery
The study will be considered feasible if the researchers observe the invasive disease free survival (IDFS) estimate at one year to be 90% or more among those who achieved a pCR, or if the researchers observe the IDFS estimate at one year to be 85% or more among those who had residual disease.
Secondary Outcomes
- Toxicity of chemo and HER2 therapies(One year from the start of treatment)
- Two Year Invasive Disease-Free Survival(Two years from the breast cancer surgery)
- Pathologic Complete Response rate(12 weeks from start of treatment)
