    Outcomes

    Primary Outcome Measures

    Pathological Complete Response (pCR) Rate (ypT0/TisypN0)
    Pathological complete response rate (ypT0/TisypN0) is defined as the proportion of subjects without residual invasive cancer on hematoxylin and eosin evaluation of the complete resected breast specimen and all sampled regional lymph nodes following completion of neoadjuvant systemic therapy by AJCC staging criteria (7th edition) assessed by the local pathologist at the time of definitive surgery.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    Residual Cancer Burden 0/1
    Residual Cancer Burden (RCB) 0/1 rate is defined as the proportion of subjects on evaluation from routine pathologic sections of the primary breast tumor and the regional lymph nodes after the completion of neoadjuvant therapy assessed by the local pathologist at the time of definitive surgery. Six variables are included in a calculation formula. The calculated RCB index value can also be categorized as one of four RCB classes (0 - 3). The calculation formula and detailed description can be found at a dedicated Web site: http://www.mdanderson.org/breastcancer_RCB.
    Pathological Complete Response (pCR) Rate (ypT0/is)
    Pathological complete response rate (ypT0/is) is defined as the proportion of subjects without residual invasive cancer on hematoxylin and eosin evaluation of the complete resected breast specimen regardless of regional lymph nodes status following completion of neoadjuvant systemic therapy by AJCC staging criteria (7th edition) assessed by the local pathologist at the time of definitive surgery.
    Pathological Complete Response (pCR) Rate (ypT0/Tis ypN0)
    Pathological complete response rate (ypT0/TisypN0) is defined as the proportion of subjects without residual invasive cancer on hematoxylin and eosin evaluation of the complete resected breast specimen and all sampled regional lymph nodes following completion of neoadjuvant systemic therapy by AJCC staging criteria (7th edition) assessed by the local pathologist at the time of definitive surgery.
    Three-Year Overall Survival (3-year OS)
    The Proportion of Three Year-Overall Survival (3y-OS) is defined as the proportion of survival subjects without death due to any cause at 3 years from registration. Subjects without documented death at the time of the analysis will be censored at the date of the last follow-up.
    Three-Year Distant Metastatic Free Survival (3-year DMFS)
    The Proportion of Three-Year Distant Metastatic Free Survival (3y-DMFS) is defined as the proportion of survival subjects without distant metastatic disease at 3 years from registration. Subjects without documented distant metastatic disease at the time of the analysis will be censored at the date of the last follow-up.
    Three-Year Disease Free Survival (3-year DFS)
    The Proportion of Three-Year Disease Free Survival (3y-DFS) is defined as the proportion of survival subjects without metastatic disease and secondary malignancy at 3 years from registration. Subjects without documented metastatic disease and secondary malignancy at the time of the analysis will be censored at the date of the last follow-up.
    AEs/SAEs and treatment discontinuation due to AEs/SAEs
    Safety measurements are the incidence of, causality of, and outcome of AEs/SAEs; and changes in vital sign measurements and laboratory values.
