Clinical trials are an important way to improve treatment for people with cancer. While most are continuing during the COVID-19 pandemic, the period of time that clinical trials are available and recruiting may change quickly. If you would like to get involved in a clinical trial, speak to your treatment team or the health service where the clinical trial is being undertaken, to confirm it is open and appropriate for you. For cancer information and support, call Cancer Council's experienced cancer nurses on 13 11 20 Monday to Friday from 9am-5pm.

Summary

Eligible participants will be randomly assigned to either the Experimental Arm or the Control Arm. In the Experimental Arm, participants will receive Tucatinib + trastuzumab + pertuzumab. Tucatinib (300mg) will be given by mouth (orally) twice daily. Tastuzumab will be given intravenously (via IV) at a dose of 6mg/kg or injected under the skin (subcutaneously) at a dose of 600mg, every 21 days. Pertuzumab (420mg) will be given via IV every 21 days. Alternatively, instead of receiving trastuzumab and pertuzumab individually, participants may receive a fixed dose combination of 600mg pertuzumab, 600mg trastuzumab, and 20,000 units hyaluronidase subcutaneously every 21 days. In the Control Arm, participants will receive Placebo + trastuzumab + pertuzumab. Placebo will be given orally, twice daily.
