Main Objective: • To evaluate the efficacy of atezolizumab + dose-dense anthracycline (doxorubicin) + cyclophosphamide followed by paclitaxel + trastuzumab + pertuzumab [ddAC-PacHP] compared with placebo + ddAC-PacHP in HER2-positive early breast cancer (EBC) in the PD-L1-positive (IC 1/2/3) and the ITT populations on basis of pathological complete response (pCR) (ypT0/is ypN0);Secondary Objective: • To evaluate the efficacy of atezolizumab + ddAC-PacHP compared with placebo + ddAC-PacHP in HER2-positive EBC on basis of pCR based upon hormone receptor status, pCR in the PD L1 negative (IC 0) population and on the basis of event-free survival (EFS), disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) • To evaluate patient-reported outcomes (PROs) of function and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) associated with atezolizumab + ddAC-PacHP compared with placebo + ddAC-PacHP, as measured by the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 (QLQ-C30) • To evaluate the safety of atezolizumab + ddAC-PacHP compared with placebo + ddAC-PacHP • To characterize the pharmacokinetic profile of atezolizumab, pertuzumab, trastuzumab, and trastuzumab emtansine • To evaluate the immune response to atezolizumab, trastuzumab, pertuzumab and trastuzumab emtansine • To evaluate pCR, EFS, DFS and OS based upon PIK3CA mutation status;Primary end point(s): 1. pCR in the PD-L1-positive and ITT populations;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1.
