Summary
This study is being done to see if tucatinib works better than placebo when given with
other drugs to treat participants with HER2-positive breast cancer. A placebo is a pill
that looks the same as tucatinib but has no medicine in it. This study will also test
what side effects happen when participants take this combination of drugs. A side effect
is anything a drug does to the body besides treating your disease.
Participants will have cancer that has spread in the body near where it started (locally
advanced) and cannot be removed (unresectable) or has spread through the body
(metastatic).
In this study, all participants will get either tucatinib or placebo. Participants will
be assigned randomly to a group. This is a blinded study, so patients and their doctors
will not know which group a participant is in.
All participants will also get trastuzumab and pertuzumab. These are 2 drugs used to
treat this type of cancer.
