T-DM1 and Tucatinib Compared With T-DM1 Alone in Preventing Relapses in People With High Risk HER2-positive breast cancer

Purpose: Is the combination of T-DM1 and a newer drug tucatinib, better than usual treatment with T-DM1 alone at preventing your cancer from returning? Treatment with T-DM1 and placebo or T-DM1 and tucatinib, for up to 14 cycles, unless the breast cancer returns or the side effects become too severe. If the breast cancer returns while on the study, the treatment will be changed. After completion of T-DM1 and/or placebo, or T-DM1 and tucatinib, the study doctor will continue to follow the patients condition with clinic visits every 6 months for 10 years and watch for side effects and for signs of breast cancer returning.

The study involves blood draws, pregnancy testing (if female), physical exams, receipt of study drugs, questionnaires, pill diaries, Echo or MUGA scans. You will meet with a member of the study team in addition to your oncology care team during your visits.After you finish T-DM1 and placebo, or T-DM1 and tucatinib, your doctor will continue to follow your condition with clinic visits every 6 months for 10 years and watch you for side effects and for signs of breast cancer returning. This means you will keep seeing your doctor for 10 years after you are enrolled in the study.
