This multicenter, non-randomized, open-label, phase 2 study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of pertuzumab (Perjeta) in combination with trastuzumab (Herceptin) and anthracycline-based chemotherapy as neoadjuvant treatment in participants with HER2-positive locally advanced, inflammatory, or early-stage breast cancer. Each investigator will choose a treatment regimen (A or B) for all of their participants to follow. Treatment regimen A (for Cohort A) will include dose-dense doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide (ddAC), followed by paclitaxel, with pertuzumab and trastuzumab given from the start of paclitaxel. Treatment regimen B (for Cohort B) will include 5-fluorouracil, epirubicin, and cyclophosphamide (FEC), followed by docetaxel, with pertuzumab and trastuzumab given from the start of docetaxel. Participants in both cohorts will subsequently undergo surgical treatment and then resume pertuzumab and trastuzumab treatment.

    Participants received neoadjuvant treatment with dose-dense doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide (ddAC), with administration of doxorubicin 60 milligrams per square meter (mg/m\^2) intravenously (IV) once every 2 weeks (q2w) and cyclophosphamide 600mg/m\^2 IV q2w for 4 cycles, followed by paclitaxel 80mg/m\^2 IV once weekly (qw) for 12 weeks. Pertuzumab (840 milligrams \[mg\] IV loading dose then 420mg IV q3w) and trastuzumab (8 milligrams per kilogram \[mg/kg\] IV loading dose then 4mg/kg IV q3w) were administered along with paclitaxel for 4 cycles (8 cycles of chemotherapy in total prior to surgery). Following surgery, participants received adjuvant treatment with pertuzumab and trastuzumab IV q3w (up to 13 cycles), for a total of 17 cycles of pertuzumab and trastuzumab therapy during the study. Radiotherapy and adjuvant hormonal therapy were also given as clinically indicated.

    Symptomatic left ventricular systolic dysfunction (otherwise referred to as heart failure) is a serious adverse event. The NYHA Functional Classification System for Heart Failure considers the patient's symptoms: Class III: Marked limitation of physical activity; Comfortable at rest, but less than ordinary activity causes fatigue, palpitation, or dyspnea. Class IV: Unable to carry on any physical activity without discomfort; Symptoms of heart failure at rest; If any physical activity is undertaken, discomfort increases. The 95% CIs were calculated with the Clopper-Pearson method. Results included events with onset from first dose of pertuzumab/trastuzumab prior to surgery through the day before the first dose of any study drug after surgery. If participant withdrew without entering adjuvant period, results included all events with onset from first dose of pertuzumab/trastuzumab through 42 days after last dose of any study drug or on the day of target surgery whichever was later.

    An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product, regardless of causal attribution. The terms "severe" and "serious" are not synonymous with respect to an AE. Severity refers to the intensity of an AE (rated according to NCI-CTCAE v4.0 criteria or, if not listed, the following scale: Grade 3 is severe, Grade 4 is life-threatening, and Grade 5 is death related to AE), whereas a serious AE (SAE) is a significant medical event (per standard criteria). Severity and seriousness needed to be independently assessed for each AE that was recorded. Selected AEs for reporting included heart failure (NYHA Class II/III/IV) and asymptomatic declines in LVEF (reported as an AE with the term of ejection fraction decreased). In the results table, multiple occurrences of the same AE in one individual were counted only once. Any AE includes all serious and non-serious AEs.

    Total pathologic complete response (tpCR) was the pCR based on tumor and nodal staging (i.e., histological confirmation of pCR in breast and nodes at surgery) and was defined as the absence of any residual invasive cancer in the breast and the absence of any metastatic cells in the regional lymph nodes (i.e., ypT0/is ypN0 tpCR). Participants who did not undergo surgery or did not have a valid pCR assessment were considered non-responders in the analysis. The 95% CIs were calculated using the Clopper-Pearson method.

    The clinical response rate was defined as the percentage of participants in the ITT population who achieved a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) prior to surgery, according to RECIST v1.1. CR: disappearance of all target lesions. PR: at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter compared to Baseline. Stable Disease (SD): neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient (20%) increase to qualify for disease progression, in addition to no new target lesions. Progressive Disease (PD): at least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter, taking as reference the smallest sum of the longest diameter observed at previous tumor assessment, or the appearance of any new lesions. Participants were classified as missing or unevaluable if no assessments were measured prior to surgery on the ipsilateral breast. The 95% CIs were calculated using the Clopper-Pearson method; they were only calculated for responses (not for missing or unevaluable data).

    The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate the percentage of participants who were event-free at landmark timepoints. Event-free survival (EFS) was defined as the time from enrollment to the first occurrence of progressive disease (PD), relapse, or death from any cause, with tumor evaluations performed by the investigator according to RECIST v1.1. Ipsilateral or contralateral in situ disease and second primary non-breast cancers (including in situ carcinomas and non-melanoma skin cancers) were not counted as progressive disease or relapse. Participants who withdrew from the study without documented progression or relapse and for whom there existed evidence that evaluations had been made, were censored at the date of the last assessment at which the participant was known to be free from progressive disease or relapse. Participants with no tumor evaluations after baseline were censored at the date of enrollment plus 1 day.

    The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate the percentage of participants who were event-free at landmark timepoints. Invasive disease-free survival (iDFS) was defined as the time from the first date of no disease (the date of surgery) to the first documentation of progressive invasive disease, relapse, or death, with tumor evaluations performed by the investigator according to RECIST v1.1. Ipsilateral or contralateral in situ disease and second primary non-breast cancers (including in situ carcinomas and non-melanoma skin cancers) were not counted as progressive disease or relapse. Participants who withdrew from the study without documented progression or relapse and for whom there existed evidence that evaluations had been made, were censored at the date of the last assessment at which the participant was known to be alive and disease-free. Participants with no postbaseline information and participants who did not undergo surgery were excluded from the analysis.

Full study description
brief Summary
This multicenter, non-randomized, open-label, phase 2 study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of pertuzumab (Perjeta) in combination with trastuzumab (Herceptin) and anthracycline-based chemotherapy as neoadjuvant treatment in participants with HER2-positive locally advanced, inflammatory, or early-stage breast cancer. Each investigator will choose a treatment regimen (A or B) for all of their participants to follow. Treatment regimen A (for Cohort A) will include dose-dense doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide (ddAC), followed by paclitaxel, with pertuzumab and trastuzumab given from the start of paclitaxel. Treatment regimen B (for Cohort B) will include 5-fluorouracil, epirubicin, and cyclophosphamide (FEC), followed by docetaxel, with pertuzumab and trastuzumab given from the start of docetaxel. Participants in both cohorts will subsequently undergo surgical treatment and then resume pertuzumab and trastuzumab treatment.
