The German NIU HER2 model was developed based on five variables found to have statistically significant influences on HER2-positivity, to allow exploration of deviations between model-predicted and actual HER2-positivity rates as a measure of testing quality. The prospective, non-interventional EPI HER2 BC study (NCT02666261) compared NIU and EPI data, aiming to validate the NIU model.
