A randomized, open-label, phase II trial comparing neoadjuvant endocrine therapy in combination with trastuzumab, pertuzumab +/- the PI3K inhibitor inavolisib in patients with HER2-positive, HR-positive, PIK3CA mutant early breast cancer - GeparPiPPa
EU CTIS ID: 2022-501152-28-00
What this study is testing
To compare pathological complete response (pCR=ypT0/is ypN0) rates between HER2-positive, HR-positive, PIK3CA mutant early breast cancer treated with inavolisib concurrently given to endocrine therapy, pertuzumab and trastuzumab vs. endocrine therapy, pertuzumab and trastuzumab alone.

A plain-language read of the study's public EU CTIS listing. The study team confirms the details.
Who can take part
You may be able to join if
- Written informed consent for all study procedures according to local regulatory requirements prior to beginning specific protocol procedures.
- Negative pregnancy test
- For women of childbearing potential: agreement to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use contraceptive methods that result in a failure rate of 1% per year during the treatment period and for least 7 months after the last dose of PH-FDC SC. Examples of non-hormonal contraceptive methods with a failure rate of 1% per year include: bilateral tubal ligation; male partner sterilization; intrauterine devices. For men: men must remain abstinent or use a condom with a spermicidal product during the treatment period and for 7 months after the last dose of PH-FDC therapy to avoid exposing the embryo. Men and women must refrain from donating sperm/eggs during this same period.
- Complete staging work-up within prior to randomization
- Patient must be willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plans, laboratory tests, and other study procedures.
- Untreated, unilateral primary carcinoma of the breast, confirmed histologically by core biopsy. Fine-needle aspiration alone is not sufficient. Incisional biopsy is not allowed.
You likely can't join if
- Patients with HER2-negative breast cancer and/or HER2-positive, HR-negative breast cancer
- Patients with an established diagnosis of diabetes mellitus type I or uncontrolled type II based on FPG and HbA1c.
- Patients who are immunocompromised as the result of HIV or receiving immunosuppressive therapies.
- Clinically significant and active liver disease, for example, sclerosing cholangitis, active viral hepatitis B or C infection, or autoimmune hepatic disorders.
- Patients with inflammatory bowel disease, such as Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis, and active bowel inflammation (e.g., diverticulitis).
- Patients with any concurrent ocular or intraocular condition, such as cataract or diabetic retinopathy, that would require medical or surgical intervention during the study period to prevent or treat vision loss. In addition, patients with active uveitis or vitritis, history of uveitis, or active infectious process in the eye.

- Complete staging work-up within prior to randomization
- Patient must be willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plans, laboratory tests, and other study procedures.
- Untreated, unilateral primary carcinoma of the breast, confirmed histologically by core biopsy. Fine-needle aspiration alone is not sufficient. Incisional biopsy is not allowed.
- Tumor lesion in the breast with a palpable size of ≥ 2 cm or a sonographical size of ≥ 1 cm in maximum diameter. The lesion has to be measurable in two dimensions, preferably by sonography.
- Patients must be in the following stages of disease: cT1b – cT3 regardless of nodal status In patients with multifocal or multicentric breast cancer the largest lesion (target lesion) should be measured.
- HR+/HER2+ disease with centrally confirmed ER-status, PR-status, HER2- status, PIK3CA mutation (tumor), Ki-67 value and TILs on core biopsy (target lesion). ER/PgR positive and HER2-positive is defined according to current ASCO/CAP guidelines. Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) breast tissue from core biopsy of target lesion has therefore to be sent to the GBG central pathology laboratory prior to randomization. In patients with multifocal or multicentric breast cancer, all non-target lesions must also be HR+/HER2+, as confirmed by local testing.
- Age >= 18 years, female and male.
- ECOG Performance status 0-1.
- Normal cardiac function must be confirmed by ECG and cardiac ultrasound (LVEF or shortening fraction) within 3 months prior to randomization. Results for LVEF must be ≥ 55%.
- Laboratory requirements: Hematology, Renal function, Hepatic function, Glucose Metabolism
