Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary objective of this study is to determine the pathologic complete response (pCR) rate to neoadjuvant chemotherapy with or without zoledronic acid at surgery. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| -Clinical response (partial and complete according to RECIST v 1.1) of neoadjuvant therapy correlated to pathological response. - Disease free survival and overall survival after 3 and 5 years correlated to pCR -Tolerability (grade 3 / 4 CTC toxicities) of both regimens. -Pathology: ER/PR and HER2 heterogeneity in core biopsy vs. operation specimen. | — |
