Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Definition of a biomarker (profile) characterizing good responders to dual blockade T and P anti-HER2 blockade that have similar pCR rates as patients treated with identical dual anti-HER2 blockade + taxane backboneAfter 12 weeks of therapypCR will be measured after 12 weeks of randomized treatment.
