Brief summary

This is a prospective, Phase IV, multi-center, single arm, open-label, interventional study to evaluate the safety of trastuzumab for the treatment of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 protein (HER2)-positive node positive or high risk node negative breast cancer participants with regimen consisting of doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide followed by either paclitaxel or docetaxel (AC-TH Regimen) or a regimen consisting of docetaxel and carboplatin (TCH Regimen) in Indian population.

Interventions

DRUGCarboplatin

TCH regimen: Carboplatin dose = Target Area Under Curve (AUC) (6 milligrams\*milliliter/minute \[mg\*mL/min\]) multiplied by (Glomerular Filtration Rate \[GFR\] + 25). Carboplatin will be administered as IV bolus every 3 weeks for 6 cycles (Cycles 1 to 6).

DRUGCyclophosphamide

AC-TH regimen: Cyclophosphamide 600 mg/m\^2 IV bolus every 3 weeks for 4 cycles (Cycles 1 to 4).

DRUGDocetaxel

AC-TH regimen: Docetaxel 100 mg/m\^2 IV infusion every 3 weeks for 4 cycles (Cycles 5 to 8). TCH regimen: Docetaxel 75 mg/m\^2 IV bolus every 3 weeks for 6 cycles (Cycles 1 to 6).

DRUGDoxorubicin

Participants will receive Doxorubicin 60 mg/m\^2 administered as I.V. bolus injection over 5 to 15 minute every 3 weeks for 4 cycles for AC-TH regimen.

DRUGPaclitaxel

AC-TH regimen: Paclitaxel 175 mg/m\^2 IV infusion every 3 weeks for 4 cycles (Cycles 5 to 8).

DRUGTrastuzumab

AC-TH regimen: For weekly administration, 4 milligrams per kilograms (mg/kg) loading dose on Day 1 of Cycle 5, followed by 2 mg/kg on Day 8 of Cycle 5 and 2 mg/kg every week for 4 cycles (up to Cycle 8). For 3 weekly administration, 8 mg/kg loading dose on Day 1 of Cycle 5, followed by 6 mg/kg every 3 for 4 cycles (up to Cycle 8). From Day 1 of Cycle 9, 6 mg/kg will be administered every 3 weeks up to Cycle 22. TCH regimen: For weekly administration, 4 mg/kg loading dose followed by 2 mg/kg weekly from Cycles 1 to Cycle 6. For 3 weekly administration, 8 mg/kg loading dose followed 6 mg/kg every 3 weeks from Cycles 1 to 6. From Cycle 7, 6 mg/kg every 3 weeks up to Cycle 18. All administrations will be intravenous (IV) infusion.

Participants by arm

ArmCount
Trastuzumab With AC-TH Regimen
Participants received trastuzumab with AC-TH regimen. The choice of the regimen was based on the investigator's discretion referring the local prescribing document of trastuzumab. AC-TH regimen consisted of doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide followed by either paclitaxel or docetaxel. Trastuzumab was common in both treatment regimens and was administered weekly or every 3 weeks, as per investigator discretion. Each cycle was 3 weeks.
58
Trastuzumab With TCH Regimen
Participants received trastuzumab with TCH regimen. The choice of the regimen was based on the investigator's discretion referring the local prescribing document of trastuzumab. TCH consisted of docetaxel and carboplatin. Trastuzumab was common in both treatment regimens and was administered weekly or every 3 weeks, as per investigator discretion. Each cycle was 3 weeks.
