title = "T-DM1 Efficacy in Patients With HER2-positive Metastatic Breast Cancer Progressing After a Taxane Plus Pertuzumab and Trastuzumab: An Italian Multicenter Observational Study",
abstract = "We evaluated efficacy and activity of second-line T-DM1 in 77 patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-positive metastatic breast cancer progressing on front-line pertuzumab-based therapy. The median progression-free survival was inferior as compared with that in the EMILIA trial, which enrolled patients not treated with previous pertuzumab. However, about one-third of patients experienced objective response and durable disease control, suggesting T-DM1 should be considered a valuable option after pertuzumab.",
