Recommendation of TFI ≤ 6m (T-DM1)

2026 Consensus Statement Update2022 Consensus Statement
Scenario 4
Patients with recurrence during adjuvant T-DM1 (non-pCR after neoadjuvant treatment), or relapse within 6 months after the end of adjuvant T-DM1:

T-DXd with or without pertuzumab and tucatinib/trastuzumab/capecitabine are both treatment options. If neoadjuvant pertuzumab has not been used,   chemotherapy/trastuzumab/pertuzumab (IV or SC) is also an option.

Scenario 3
Patients with recurrence during adjuvant T-DM1 (non-pCR after neoadjuvant treatment), or relapse within 6 months after the end of adjuvant T-DM1: 

• When trastuzumab plus pertuzumab has been used in neoadjuvant setting: trastuzumab deruxtecan and tucatinib/trastuzumab/capecitabine are the preferred 1 and 2 line treatment, but the optimal sequencing is unclear.

• When pertuzumab has not been used in neoadjuvant setting: chemotherapy/trastuzumab/pertuzumab , trastuzumab deruxtecan, and tucatinib/trastuzumab/ capecitabine are the preferred 1 and 2 line treatment, but the optimal sequencing is unclear.
