Brief summary

The first co-primary endpoint is to evaluate the rate of pCR as defined by the absence of invasive disease in the breast and axilla (ypT0/isN0) at the time of surgery achieved with the combination of trastuzumab and pertuzumab (± endocrine therapy) as exclusive neoadjuvant treatment in PET responders patients (cohort B/PET responders) [PET/CT positive predictive value (PPV) for a pCR among patients who are PET responders]., The second co-primary endpoint is to evaluate 3-year iDFS rate defined as time from the first date of no disease (i.e., date of surgery) to invasive recurrence, new invasive disease, or death by any cause. Recurrence will be defined in accordance with the standardized efficacy endpoints (STEEP) criteria. The primary analysis will be to estimate 3-year iDFS rate in cohort B.
