7. Trastuzumab in Combination with Chemotherapy Overall Trastuzumab impact on survival uncertain –Limited duration of follow-up (  12 months) –CT alone patients allowed to enter Trastuzumab extension protocol Preliminary analysis - improved 1-yr survival –H + CT = 78% alive –CT alone = 67% alive Survival Time

8. Clinical Safety Trastuzumab is generally well tolerated –Single agent –Combined with chemotherapy Most adverse events mild to moderate in severity –Infusion associated symptoms, including fever and chills primarily with first dose Serious adverse events infrequent Increased incidence of cardiac dysfunction, particularly when administered with anthracycline based therapy Summary of Trastuzumab Safety

10. Conclusion The results of this study indicate that Trastuzumab in combination with chemotherapy is well-tolerated and provides substantial clinical benefit in first-line treatment of HER-2 overexpressing metastatic breast cancer Future studies of Trastuzumab will be important –Adjuvant breast cancer –Other combinations –Other tumors

11. Adjuvant use of Trastuzumab must be evaluated in a randomized-controlled trial

31. Conclusions - 1 Data included in these analyses are NOT final. However, it is unlikely that any of the main results will change qualitatively with further database cleaning and follow-up The protocol-defined threshold of a 4% increase in protocol-defined cardiac events was not exceeded for either of the Trastuzumab-containing arms (AC-TH or TCH) as compared to the control (AC-T) arm

32. Conclusions - 2 There was a clear and statistically significant excess of patients with protocol-defined cardiac events in the AC-TH arm compared to the AC-T arm TreatmentAC-TAC-THTCH # with events122513 # patients104310721056 Proportion1.2%2.3%1.2% P=0.046P=0.07 P=1.00

34. Conclusions - 4 Cardiac toxicity was as expected (1.2% of treated patients) in the AC-T arm There was convincing statistical evidence of increased cardiac toxicity in the AC-TH arm as compared to the AC-T arm, with about twice as many patients affected (2.3% of treated patients) There was no statistical evidence of cardiac toxicity in the TCH arm as compared to the AC-T arm

35. Conclusions - 5 Using a mixed model to analyze LVEF declines over time, the slope of the decline was statistically significant for the AC-TH and AC-T arms, but not for the TCH arm TreatmentAC-TAC-THTCH Slope* -0.78-1.770.03 P-value0.0002<0.00010.79 * A slope of –1 represents an average annual decline of 1% in LVEF
