safety and toxicity of TP compared to CETIRI.
TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To estimate the rates of PFS, OS, and ORR in patients who crossover to TP (Arm 3) after
disease progression on CETIRI.
II. To bank images for future retrospective analysis. III. To evaluate if HER-2/centromeric
probe (CEP17) signal ratio and HER-2 gene copy number (GCN) are predictive of clinical
efficacy for patients receiving TP versus CETIRI.
IV. To bank tissue and blood samples for other future correlative studies from patients
enrolled on the study.
OUTLINE: Patients with HER2 gene amplification are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.
ARM I: Patients receive pertuzumab intravenously (IV) over 30-60 minutes and trastuzumab IV
over 30-120 minutes on day 1. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease
progression or unacceptable toxicity.

over 90 minutes on day 1. Courses repeat every 14 days in the absence of disease progression
or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with documented disease progression may optionally
crossover to Arm I.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To compare event-free survival (EFS) in participants with high-risk resectable melanoma

III. On the neoadjuvant arm, to estimate the pathologic response rate, the Response
Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 response rate (confirmed and unconfirmed
complete response [CR] and partial response [PR]), and the immune-related (i)RECIST response
rate (confirmed and unconfirmed CR and PR), before surgical resection; to compare definitions
of pathologic partial response; and to evaluate the association between pathologic response
and EFS and OS.
