About this study
Official title: Noninterventional Study - Advanced HER2-positive Breast Cancer (Metastatic or Locally Recurrent, Inoperable): First-Line Treatment With PERJETA After Adjuvant Herceptin Therapy (HELENA)
This observational study will evaluate the efficacy, safety and patient reported quality of life of palliative first-line Perjeta (pertuzumab) in combination with Herceptin (trastuzumab) in patients with HER2-positive advanced breast cancer (metastatic or locally recurrent, inoperable) who relapsed after completed adjuvant Herceptin therapy. Additionally, information on selection criteria of breast cancer patients treated first-line with Perjeta, Herceptin and chemotherapy and their treatment duration will be collected and analyzed. Data will be collected from eligible patients for up to 20 months of treatment and 24 months of follow-up.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
This observational study will evaluate the efficacy, safety and patient reported quality of life of palliative first-line Perjeta (pertuzumab) in combination with Herceptin (trastuzumab) in patients with HER2-positive advanced breast cancer (metastatic or locally recurrent, inoperable) who relapsed after completed adjuvant Herceptin therapy. Additionally, information on selection criteria of breast cancer patients treated first-line with Perjeta, Herceptin and chemotherapy and their treatment duration will be collected and analyzed. Data will be collected from eligible patients for up to 20 months of treatment and 24 months of follow-up.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Median progression-free survival in routine clinical practice (time frame: approximately 7.5 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Dec 2020.
