This is a prospective, single arm, open-label, unicenter, exploratory study in women with primary operable HER2-positive, HER2-enriched/ERBB2-high breast cancer according to PAM50 intrinsic subtype and a ERBB2 pre-defined cutoff (high vs low ERBB2 expression), to evaluate the omission of surgery and sentinel lymph node dissection in patients with HER2-E and ERBB2 high breast cancer who achieving a complete response following standard anti-HER2-based neoadjuvant therapy with paclitaxel/trastuzumab/pertuzumab. The primary trial objective is to estimate the loco-regional invasive disease-free survival at 3-year of patients who achieve a complete response based on imaging (i.e. Magnetic resonance imaging) and a stereotactic-guided vacuum-assisted breast biopsy, and omit loco-regional surgery.

After 13 weeks of neoadjuvant treatment, a breast MRI will be performed. If a complete response is observed on breast MRI, patients will undergo a stereotactic-guided VAB of the marker area to obtain 12 cylinders of breast parenchyma, which is equivalent to 2 grams of tissue. If no invasive tumor cells and no in situ disease are identified in the stereotactic-guided VAB, patients will be eligible to omit loco-regional surgery.

Disease-free Survival at 3years
To estimate the loco-regional invasive disease-free survival (LR-IDFS) at 3-year of patients who achieve a complete response based on imaging and a stereotactic-guided vacuum-assisted breast biopsy, and omit loco-regional surgery.
Time frame: 3 years
pCR Rate
rate of pathological complete response (pCR) between the treatment groups by HR status
Time frame: pCR assessment was done following surgery after neoadjuvant therapy with paclitaxel and trastuzumzb/pertuzumab prior to adjuvant therapy
Patient Reported Outcomes (Global Health Status)
The EORTC QLQ-C30 was used to assess Health-Related Quality of Life (QoL). The measure consists of five functional scales (physical, role, cognitive, emotional, and social). For this study, raw scores were used without any transformation. The functional scales consist of multiple items (questions 1-28) scored on a 1-4 scale (1 = not at all, 4 = very much). Higher scores indicate worse functioning. To assess the effect of standard therapy (surgery after neoadjuvant therapy) vs. investigational therapy (omission of surgery), the global health status is reported in each of these populations before and after treatment. The Global Health Status (GHS) score is derived from two items (Q29 and Q30), each scored on a 1-7 scale (1 = very poor, 7 = excellent). Scoring method: GHS = (Q29 + Q30) / 2 Raw score range: Minimum = (1 + 1) / 2 = 1; Maximum = (7 + 7) /2 = 7
Time frame: The questionnaire was filled by the patients at screening and post adjuvant therapy.
