GAIN-2 Trastuzumab s.c. Substudy

HER2-positive patients can participate in the trastuzumab subcutaneous sub-study after completion of the GAIN-2 main study, in which the antibody is injected either into the abdominal wall or into the thigh.
Please note that randomization into the sub-study can only be performed after complete documentation of the main study. In addition, the last trastuzumab infusion during the GAIN-2 main study must be 6 mg kg/KG q3w. For the subcutaneous injection during the sub-study, 600 mg trastuzumab q3w is then always administered.
Trastuzumab will be administered for a total of one year.
Please ask your HER2-positive GAIN-2 patients about the trastuzumab s.c. sub-study - a total of 220 patients are to be included in this sub-study. All GAIN-2 centers can participate.
