  • Male and female subjects of reproductive/childbearing potential must agree to use a highly effective form of contraception or avoid intercourse during and upon completion of the study and for at least 4 months for males and 7 months for females after the last dose of study drug. See protocol for full details

You likely can't join if

  • Stage IV (metastatic) breast cancer.
  • Any autoimmune, connective tissue or inflammatory disorders (eg, Rheumatoid arthritis, Sjogren's, sarcoidosis, etc...) where there is documented, or a suspicion of pulmonary involvement, or pneumonectomy at the time of screening
  • Uncontrolled or significant cardiovascular disease, including: Medical history of myocardial infarction within 6 months before randomization, symptomatic congestive heart failure (CHF) (New York Heart Association Class II to IV), troponin levels consistent with myocardial infarction as defined according to the manufacturer 28 days prior to randomization.
  • Has a corrected QT interval per Fridericia's formula (QTcF) prolongation to > 470 msec (females) or > 450 msec (males) based on screening 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG).
  • History of severe hypersensitivity reactions to either the drug substances or inactive ingredients in the drug product.
  • History of severe hypersensitivity reactions to other monoclonal antibodies (MAb).

See protocol for full details
  • Male subjects must not freeze or donate sperm starting at randomization and throughout the study period, and at least 4 months after the final study drug administration. Preservation of sperm should be considered prior to enrolment in this study.
  • Female subjects must not donate, or retrieve for their own use, ova from the time of randomization and throughout the study treatment period, and for at least 7 months after the final study drug administration. They should refrain from breastfeeding throughout this time. Preservation of ova may be considered prior to randomization in this study.

  • HER2-positive breast cancer, meeting all of the criteria listed in the protocol (see protocol for full details).
  • Histologically confirmed invasive breast carcinoma at time of disease presentation. Subjects with inflammatory breast cancer are allowed provided all eligibility criteria are met.
  • Clinical stage at disease presentation of T1-4, N0-3, M0 prior to neoadjuvant therapy (Note: Patients presenting with T1N0 tumors will not be eligible).
  • Pathologic evidence of residual invasive carcinoma in the breast and/or axillary lymph nodes following completion of neoadjuvant therapy meeting one of the high risk criteria described in detail in the protocol.
  • Completion of neoadjuvant systemic therapy, including taxane-based chemotherapy and HER2-directed treatment prior to surgery
  • Adequate excision as confirmed per medical records: surgical removal of all clinically evident disease in the breast and axillary lymph nodes (see Section 8.1.2).
  • An interval of no more than 12 weeks between the date of last surgery and the date of randomization.
What rules you out
  • Stage IV (metastatic) breast cancer.
  • Any autoimmune, connective tissue or inflammatory disorders (eg, Rheumatoid arthritis, Sjogren's, sarcoidosis, etc...) where there is documented, or a suspicion of pulmonary involvement, or pneumonectomy at the time of screening

  • History of severe hypersensitivity reactions to either the drug substances or inactive ingredients in the drug product.
  • History of severe hypersensitivity reactions to other monoclonal antibodies (MAb).
  • Inadequate washout period before Randomization/Cycle 1 Day 1, as defined in the protocol.
  • Substance abuse or medical conditions such as clinically significant cardiac or psychological conditions, that may, in the opinion of the investigator, interfere with the subject's participation in the clinical study or evaluation of the clinical study results.

  • Uncontrolled infection requiring IV antibiotics, antivirals, or antifungals.
  • Active primary immunodeficiency, known uncontrolled active HIV infection or active hepatitis B or C infection.
