Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the cardiac safety of neoadjuvant treatment with the following regimens: • ddAC-->T+ PH: Dose-dense doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide (ddAC) given every 2 weeks for four cycles with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) support as needed according to local guidelines, followed by weekly paclitaxel (T) for 12 weeks, with pertuzumab and trastuzumab (PH) given every 3 weeks from the start of paclitaxel (Cohort A). • FEC-->D+ PH: 5-fluorouracil, epirubicin, and cyclophosphamide (FEC) given every 3 weeks for four cycles, followed by docetaxel (D) given every 3 weeks for four cycles, with pertuzumab and trastuzumab (PH) given every 3 weeks from the start of docetaxel (Cohort B).;Secondary Objective: - Secondary safety objectives are to evaluate the safety profiles of the two treatment regimens during the pre-operative (neoadjuvant) and adjuvant treatment periods, including adverse events (graded according to NCI CTCAE Version 4.0), serious adverse events, laboratory abnormalities (graded according to NCI CTCAE Version 4.0), and serum levels of anti-therapeutic antibodies (ATAs) against pertuzumab. - The efficacy objectives for this study are as follows: • To make an assessment of the antitumor activity associated with each regimen, as indicated by the pCR rate (defined as eradication of invasive disease in the breast and axilla; i.e., ypT0/is ypN0, or tpCR rate) • To investigate the clinical response, event-free survival (EFS), invasive disease-free survival (iDFS), and overall survival (OS) for each treatment regimen;Primary end point(s): Cardiac safety: Incidence of left ventricular systolic dysfunction (symptomatic or asymptomatic).;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: The primary cardiac safety evaluation will occur after all patients have completed neoadjuvant therapy (or have withdrawn from the study or are lost to follow up). Cardiac safety will continue to be assessed in all patie

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): - To make an assessment of the antitumor activity associated with each regimen, as indicated by the pCR rate - To investigate the clinical response, event-free survival (EFS), invasive disease-free survival (iDFS), and overall survival (OS) for each treatment regimen - Safety: Incidence of adverse events ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Efficacy will be assessed at the time of the primary analysis and at other key timepoints: • After all patients have completed adjuvant anti-HER2 therapy (or have withdrawn from the study or are lost to follow up) • At the end of the study (5 years after the last patient was enrolled)
