Roche publishes eight-year data on Perjeta® based regimen for breast cancer

Roche reported that eight-year data from its Ph III trials of Perjeta® (pertuzumab) in combination with Herceptin® (trastuzumab) and chemotherapy in HER2-positive early breast cancer demonstrates continued benefit of the combination in comparison to trastuzumab and chemotherapy alone.  Roche reported a 28% reduction in the risk of recurrence or death in patients with lymph node-positive disease, and a safety profile consistent with previous studies.
