Scientific titleComparison of vinorelbine versus docetaxel, and trastuzumab versus no trastuzumab as adjuvant treatments of early breast cancer
Study acronymFinHer
Study hypothesisThe purpose of the trial is to compare tolerability, safety and efficacy of single-agent vinorelbine and single-agent docetaxel as adjuvant treatments of early breast cancer with moderate to high risk for cancer recurrence. The trial also assesses tolerability, safety and efficacy of trastuzumab given concomitantly with vinorelbine or docetaxel as adjuvant treatment of early breast cancer with moderate to high risk for cancer recurrence.

ConditionBreast cancer
InterventionRandomisation:
1. Between weekly vinorelbine 25 mg/m^2 x 8 followed by cyclophosphamide, epirubicin and 5-fluorouracil (CEF) x 3 vs three weekly docetaxel 100 mg/m^2 x 3 followed by CEF x 3

2. Whenever tumor is HER2-positive, a second randomization between weekly trastuzumab 2 mg/kg concomitantly with vinorelbine/docetaxel versus no trastuzumab
