Preservation of quality of life in patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2–positive metastatic breast cancer treated with tucatinib or placebo when added to trastuzumab and capecitabine (HER2CLIMB trial)

European Journal of Cancer Jul 26, 2021

Mueller V, Wardley A, Paplomata E, et al. - This study was undertaken to investigate the effect of tucatinib on health-related quality of life (HR-QoL) in HER2CLIMB. Individuals were assigned randomly in a 2:1 ratio to tucatinib or placebo combined with trastuzumab and capecitabine. In this study, 331 (91%) completed ≥1 assessment among 364 patients eligible for HR-QoL assessment. It was shown that EQ-VAS scores were similar for both arms at baseline and maintained throughout treatment. This study’s findings illustrate that HR-QoL was preserved for patients with HER2+ metastatic breast cancer who were treated with tucatinib added to trastuzumab and capecitabine and maintained longer with tucatinib therapy than without it among those with brain metastases.
