What was measured

Pre-dose samples were obtained prior to surgery (Cycle 8). The observed Ctrough was recorded, averaged among all participants, and expressed in micrograms per milliliter (μg/mL).

Analysis population: Primary Pharmacokinetic (PK) Per Protocol (PP) Population: All participants with at least one measurable trastuzumab serum concentration and who did not have any major protocol violations related to PK sampling for the primary endpoint.

Groups in this outcome

Herceptin IV + Chemotherapy

Participants received eight cycles of Herceptin IV plus chemotherapy prior to surgery and ten cycles of Herceptin IV after surgery. Chemotherapy consisted of docetaxel 75 mg/m\^2 every 21 days for four cycles followed by FEC every 21 days for four cycles. Herceptin was administered as 8 mg/kg on Day 1 and then as 6 mg/kg on Day 22 and every 21 days thereafter. The first eight cycles prior to surgery comprised the Neoadjuvant Treatment Period, and the ten cycles of Herceptin IV after surgery comprised the Adjuvant Treatment Period. Thereafter, participants entered the TFFU Period. Participants who were withdrawn from the Neoadjuvant Treatment Period for any reason, or who experienced disease recurrence during either the Adjuvant Treatment Period or TFFU Period, could be entered into the SFU Period.

Herceptin SC + Chemotherapy

Participants received eight cycles of Herceptin SC plus chemotherapy prior to surgery and ten cycles of Herceptin SC after surgery. Chemotherapy consisted of docetaxel 75 mg/m\^2 every 21 days for four cycles followed by FEC every 21 days for four cycles. Herceptin was administered as a 600-mg fixed dose given every 21 days. The first eight cycles prior to surgery comprised the Neoadjuvant Treatment Period, and the ten cycles of Herceptin IV after surgery comprised the Adjuvant Treatment Period. Thereafter, participants entered the TFFU Period. Participants who were withdrawn from the Neoadjuvant Treatment Period for any reason, or who experienced disease recurrence during either the Adjuvant Treatment Period or TFFU Period, could be entered into the SFU Period.

    group Description
    PK sample size calculations based on percentage of coefficient of variation (CV%) for Ctrough of trastuzumab from previous metastatic breast cancer (MBC) and early breast cancer (EBC) studies. Because pre-surgery situation was comparable to MBC setting, interpatient CV% of 60 percent (%) was assumed and 130 participants per arm (260 participants total) were needed to demonstrate Ctrough comparability with 80% power if the true means of the two formulations did not differ by greater than (\>) 5%.
