What was measured

EORTC QLQ-C30 is a cancer-specific instrument with 30 questions used to assess the overall QOL in cancer participants. First 28 questions used 4-point scale (1=not at all, 2=a little, 3=quite a bit, 4=very much) for evaluating 5 functional scales (physical, role, social, cognitive, emotional), 8 symptom scales/items (diarrhea, fatigue, dyspnea, appetite loss, insomnia, N/V, constipation, and pain) and a single item (financial difficulties). Last 2 questions represented participant's assessment of overall health and quality of life, coded on 7-point scale (1=very poor to 7=excellent). EORTC QLQ-C30 financial difficulties scores were linearly transformed on a scale of 0 and 100, with a high score indicating a higher level of financial difficulties. Negative change from Baseline values indicated improvement in financial difficulties and positive values indicated worsening of financial difficulties.

Analysis population: ITT population. Overall number of participants analyzed=participants evaluable for this outcome measure. Number analyzed=number of participants responding to this scale where it is considered complete as defined by the EORTC QLQ-C30 scoring manual.

Groups in this outcome

Pertuzumab + Trastuzumab + Chemotherapy

Participants received pertuzumab (840 mg loading dose, then 420 mg) and trastuzumab (8 mg/kg loading dose, then 6 mg/kg) IV Q3W for 1 year (maximum 18 cycles) in combination with 1 of the following IV chemotherapy regimen (anthracycline-based or nonanthracycline-based) per Investigator's choice: 1) 3-4 cycles (Q3W) of 5-fluorouracil 500-600 mg/m\^2 + epirubicin 90-120 mg/m\^2 or doxorubicin 50 mg/m\^2 + cyclophosphamide 500-600 mg/m\^2 followed by either 3-4 cycles of docetaxel Q3W (100 mg/m\^2 for 3 cycles, 75 mg/m\^2 in first cycle and 100 mg/m\^2 in subsequent cycles, or 75 mg/m\^2 for 4 cycles) or 12 cycles of paclitaxel 80 mg/m\^2 QW; 2) 4 cycles (Q3W) of doxorubicin 60 mg/m\^2 or epirubicin 90-120 mg/m\^2 + cyclophosphamide 500-600 mg/m\^2 followed by either 3-4 cycles of docetaxel Q3W or 12 cycles of paclitaxel QW (as described in Option 1); 3) 6 cycles (Q3W) of docetaxel 75 mg/m\^2 + carboplatin area under the curve (AUC) 6 (up to 900 mg).

Placebo + Trastuzumab + Chemotherapy

Participants received placebo matched to pertuzumab IV Q3W and trastuzumab (8 mg/kg loading dose, then 6 mg/kg) IV Q3W for 1 year (maximum 18 cycles) in combination with 1 of the following IV chemotherapy regimen (anthracycline-based or nonanthracycline-based) per Investigator's choice: 1) 3-4 cycles (Q3W) of 5-fluorouracil 500-600 mg/m\^2 + epirubicin 90-120 mg/m\^2 or doxorubicin 50 mg/m\^2 + cyclophosphamide 500-600 mg/m\^2 followed by either 3-4 cycles of docetaxel Q3W (100 mg/m\^2 for 3 cycles, 75 mg/m\^2 in first cycle and 100 mg/m\^2 in subsequent cycles, or 75 mg/m\^2 for 4 cycles) or 12 cycles of paclitaxel 80 mg/m\^2 QW; 2) 4 cycles (Q3W) of doxorubicin 60 mg/m\^2 or epirubicin 90-120 mg/m\^2 + cyclophosphamide 500-600 mg/m\^2 followed by either 3-4 cycles of docetaxel Q3W or 12 cycles of paclitaxel QW (as described in Option 1); 3) 6 cycles (Q3W) of docetaxel 75 mg/m\^2 + carboplatin AUC 6 (up to 900 mg).
