Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The primary objective is to compare the complete pathological response rates (evaluation according to Chevallier’s criteria, review by an independent Committee) between the two randomized arms (neoadjuvant regimens) in patients with a relative change in [18F]-FDG tumoral uptake < 70%;Secondary Objective: For all patients (Arms A, B and Standard) : -to describe the complete pathological response rates evaluated according to local procedures, - to describe the ultrasound response rate, rate of conservative surgery, disease-free survival, distant disease-free survival, local relapse-free survival and overall survival, - to assess the role of PET in early detection of pathological response, - to search for predictive factors of response to treatment [on the basis HER2/RH status, pathological complete response, imaging results (PET and mammary DCE-US), and pharmacokinetics, immunology, and pharmacogenetics (only for patients who agree to participate, specific consent)] study results], - to assess the safety according to CTC-AE v 4.0. For the randomized Arms A and B (patients with ? SUV < 70%) : to search for predictive factors of response to treatment on the basis of angiogenesis biomarkers (biology and imaging).;Primary end point(s): Pathological complete response rates. pCR will be evaluated post-surgery (Chevallier criteria) by an independent Committee (for all patients). The patients with ? SUV < 70% will be randomized (2:1) to received either docetaxel + trastuzumab + bevacizumab or docetaxel + trastuzumab. 84 patients (docetaxel + trastuzumab + bevacizumab: 56 patients; docetaxel + trastuzumab: 28 patients) will allow to detect a difference between the two treatment groups of 30% in pCR rates in favor of docetaxel + trastuzumab + bevacizumab Arm with a power of 80% assuming a pCR rate of 10% in either docetaxel + trastuzumab Arm and a two sided type I error of 5%. According to the hypothesis that 60% of patients will have a ? SUV < 70% before
