ER oestrogen receptor, PgR progesterone receptor, IHC immunohistochemistry, T-DM1 ado-trastuzumab emtansine. *All but 1 patient received prior trastuzumab, pertuzumab, T-DM1, and lapatinib in the metastatic setting. However, 1 patient received trastuzumab in the adjuvant setting; when the patient’s localised disease progressed to metastatic within 6 months, the patient enroled in the trial
