Participants were planned to receive a total of 18 cycles of SC Herceptin. An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered SC Herceptin. Examples included unfavorable/unintended signs and symptoms, new or exacerbated disease, recurrence of intermittent condition, deterioration in laboratory value or other clinical test, or adverse procedure-related events. The percentage of participants with at least 1 AE during the treatment period (regardless of severity or seriousness) was reported.
Participants were planned to receive a total of 18 cycles of SC Herceptin. An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered SC Herceptin. Examples included unfavorable/unintended signs and symptoms, new or exacerbated disease, recurrence of intermittent condition, deterioration in laboratory value or other clinical test, or adverse procedure-related events. AEs were graded according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria Version 4.0. Grade 3 AEs were those considered severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening. Grade 4 AEs were those considered life-threatening and/or for which urgent intervention was indicated. Grade 5 AEs were those resulting in death. The percentage of participants with a Grade 3 or higher (i.e., Grade 3 to 5) AE during the treatment period was reported.

Participants were planned to receive a total of 18 cycles of SC Herceptin. The percentage of participants was reported by the total number of cycles actually received. Because the data are presented non-cumulatively, this table reflects participant distribution by the highest number of cycles received.
Concomitant cancer treatment included chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and hormone therapy administered during the study. The percentage of participants who received any of these concomitant therapies was reported.
Concomitant non-cancer treatment included any pharmacologic interventions administered during the study other than chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or hormone therapy. The percentage of participants who received any concomitant non-cancer therapies was reported.
PFS was defined as the time from randomization to time of first documented disease progression (unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions) or death, whichever occurred first as assessed by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.0 (RECIST v1.0). Progressive disease is defined using RECIST v1.0 as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum longest diameter recorded since the treatment started. Primary PFS variable was defined based on the investigators' assessments and the statistical conclusions on the primary efficacy endpoint were based on investigator assessed PFS. PFS was estimated using Kaplan-Meier methods.
DFS events included loco-regional or distant recurrence of breast cancer, development of contralateral breast cancer or second non-breast malignancy other than basal or squamous carcinoma of the skin and carcinoma in situ of the cervix, or death from any cause. The percentage of participants with at least one DFS event was reported.

Herceptin is used for the treatment of breast cancer, including breast neoplasms, in patients with HER2-positive disease. It is an oncology therapy developed by Roche Holding AG (RHHBY). Herceptin is also known as Trastuzumab and Trastuzumab SC.
Herceptin targets HER2, a human epidermal growth factor receptor, in HER2-positive breast cancer. It is a monoclonal antibody, classified as a -mab, that binds to HER2 to interfere with cancer cell growth. This mechanism is central to its use in HER2-positive breast cancer treatment.
Herceptin is developed by Roche Holding AG, a pharmaceutical company traded under the ticker RHHBY. Roche has conducted multiple clinical trials of Herceptin across various countries, including studies of both intravenous and subcutaneous formulations for breast cancer treatment.
Herceptin is in Phase 3 clinical development, with one Phase 3 trial completed. This trial, NCT01566721, studied subcutaneous Herceptin as adjuvant therapy in early HER2-positive breast cancer. Herceptin is investigational and not yet approved, with all four completed trials in clinical development.
Herceptin has been studied in four completed trials: NCT00545688 (Phase 2, pertuzumab combination in HER2-positive breast cancer), NCT00800436 (Phase 1, dose-finding in healthy volunteers and HER2-positive females), NCT01401166 (Phase 2, subcutaneous versus intravenous preference), and NCT01566721 (Phase 3, subcutaneous adjuvant therapy).
Yes, Herceptin is the same as Trastuzumab, and it is also known as Trastuzumab SC. These names refer to the same drug, a monoclonal antibody used in HER2-positive breast cancer. The subcutaneous formulation is specifically referred to as Trastuzumab SC.
