About

Targeted therapy in the treatment of breast cancer targets HER2 receptor (Human Epidermal growth factor Receptor). HER2 receptor plays an important role in cell growth and differentiation (5). However, when HER2 overexpresses, it may lead to cancer. HER2 positive malignance exacerbates pathology and worsens clinical outcome, such as shortened overall survival (OS) compared with non-HER2 overexpression patients (6), (7). About 20-30% overexpression HER2/neogene breast cancer patients and patients having HER2 overexpression tumor have disease progression and poor prognosis in metastatic process (8), (9).

Currently, targeted therapeutic, which attaches to the HER2 receptor, inhibiting the growth of cancer cells has been approved. One of these products is Trastuzumab.

The study processed on 50 females aged between 18 and 65, recurrent or metastatic breast cancer patients with positive HER2.

The subjects were randomly distributed in 2 groups as NNG-TMAB + docetaxel or Herceptin® + docetaxel, in blocks of 4 in a 1:1 ratio (NNG-TMAB: Herceptin®). In each block of 4 will be 2 patients in the experimental group and 2 patients in the control group.

Primary endpoint is serum peak concentrations (Cmax), area under the curve from 0 to t (AUC0-t).

This trial is intended to assess the biosimilarity of pharmacokinetic parameters, safety between Faceptor (experimental drug) and Herceptin (reference).

• Patients of childbearing potential and her partner must implement reliable contraceptive measures during the study treatment, starting 4 weeks prior to inclusion into the trial and until 6 months after the last administration of the study drug

Exclusion criteria

Any previous chemotherapy or hormonal therapy is allowed.
• Previously treated with doxorubicin > 400 mg/m2; epirubicin > 800 mg/m2 in accumulative dosages.
• Surgery, radiation therapy, use of any experimental medications within 4 weeks prior to randomization.
• Clinical evidence or X-ray show that breast cancer metastases in central nervous system
• Patients with metastatic tumor to the bone is the only tumor to be measured
• Systolic blood pressure >150mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure >100mmHg. Uncontrolled hypertension comprising all cases of arterial hypertension when no decrease in blood pressure could be achieved despite treatment with a combination of 3 antihypertensive drugs including one diuretic and non-medicamental correction methods (low salt diet, physical exercise)
• Cardiovascular system pathology (congestive heart failure (CHF) stage III-IV according to New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification, unstable angina pectoris, myocardial infarction) within 12 months prior to randomization. LVEF < 50% according to echocardiogram when screening.
• Acute or chronic infection (except for acute or chronic infection that is stable and does not affect the study evaluation). Infecting HIV, HBV or HCV, Syphilis
• Patients with a history of severe allergic reaction to trastuzumab, paclitaxel, docetaxel or other ingredients in the formulation
• The patient has evidence of a serious illness (such as resting dyspnea or severe lung disease, etc.) or an abnormal laboratory test that, in the judgment of the researcher, will affect participation. research and completion of patient research, or may affect the patient's response evaluation.
