title: CLEOPATRA holds strong in final analysis.
abstract: According to the final analysis of CLEOPATRA, first-line treatment with pertuzumab plus trastuzumab and docetaxel significantly improves overall survival for patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer. As such, dual HER2 blockade plus chemotherapy should be the standard of care in this setting, researchers say.
