  Purpose

This randomized, open-label, crossover study will evaluate patients' preference and healthcare professional satisfaction with Herceptin (trastuzumab) subcutaneous (sc) versus intravenous (iv) administration in patients with HER2-positive early breast cancer. Patients will be randomized to receive either Herceptin 600 mg sc or Herceptin 6 mg/kg iv every 3 weeks for Cycles 1-4, then cross over to the other treatment administration for Cycles 5-8. For Cycles 9-22, all patients will be administered iv Herceptin at 6 mg/kg every 3 weeks. Anticipated time on study treatment is 66 weeks.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Proportion of patients indicating an overall preference for either the subcutaneous (SC) or the intravenous (IV) route of administration [ Time Frame: Week 22 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Healthcare professional satisfaction with SC trastuzumab (Healthcare Professional Questionnaire) [ Time Frame: Week 22 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Healthcare professional perceived time savings with SC trastuzumab (Healthcare Professional Questionnaire) [ Time Frame: Week 22 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Safety: Incidence of adverse events [ Time Frame: 4 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Event-free survival, assessed as per institutional practice or according to the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Guideline Breast Cancer Follow-up 2006 [ Time Frame: up to 4 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Immunogenicity (trastuzumab, recombinant human hyaluronidase) [ Time Frame: from baseline to Week 13 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
