Prior chemotherapy must have included at least an anthracycline and a taxane unless patients are unsuitable for these treatments. Hormone receptor positive patients must also have failed hormonal therapy unless patients are unsuitable for these treatments. in combination with paclitaxel for the treatment of those patients who have not received chemotherapy for their metastatic disease and for whom an anthracycline is not suitable in combination with docetaxel for the treatment of those patients who have not received chemotherapy for their metastatic disease in combination with an aromatase inhibitor for the treatment of postmenopausal patients with hormone-receptor positive MBC, not previously treated with trastuzumab Early breast cancer (EBC) For the treatment of adult patients with HER2-positive EBC: following surgery, chemotherapy (neoadjuvant or adjuvant) and radiotherapy (if applicable) following adjuvant chemotherapy with doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide, in combination with paclitaxel or docetaxel. in combination with adjuvant chemotherapy consisting of docetaxel and carboplatin. in combination with neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by adjuvant HD201 therapy, for locally advanced (including inflammatory) disease or tumours >2 cm in diameter. HD201 should only be used in patients with MBC or EBC whose tumours have either HER2 overexpression or HER2 gene amplification as determined by an accurate and validated assay.
