  1. Data reported are number (%).
  2. aINN classes are presented alphabetically and preferred terms are sorted within INN classes alphabetically
  3. bNumber of patients in the safety population
  4. cNumber of patients who received at least one anticancer treatment after discontinuing study treatment. Percentages are based on n. Patients may have received more than one anticancer treatment after discontinuing study treatment. Some therapies began before the last study treatment was received
  5. dAll preferred terms within the “HER2-targeted treatment” and “Combinations” summaries are also included in their respective INN classes
  6. eThe “HER2-targeted treatment” summary is a reclassification of specific preferred terms, identified by the medical team
  7. fThe “Antineoplastic agents” summary includes any drug used to treat cancers that cannot be assigned to a more specific pharmacological class
  8. gEleven patients had vinorelbine (re)introduced after study treatment was discontinued: six patients who had stopped study treatment due to an adverse event/unacceptable toxicity (three of whom had not received on study vinorelbine due to AE with pertuzumab and/or trastuzumab administration and had discontinued study treatment before receiving vinorelbine as an anticancer therapy); three patients who had stopped study treatment due to administrative/other reasons; and two patients who had stopped study treatment due to disease progression
