Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Serum Trough Concentration (Ctrough) of Pertuzumab During Cycle 7 (Pre-Dose Cycle 8)
The observed pertuzumab trough serum concentration (Ctrough) at Cycle 7 was assessed following 3 cycles of pertuzumab IV and trastuzumab IV or the fixed-dose combination (FDC) of pertuzumab and trastuzumab SC. The Per Protocol Pharmacokinetics (PK) analysis population includes all enrolled participants who adhered to the protocol. Exclusions from the Per Protocol PK analysis population were made for the following reasons: participants were missing the Ctrough pre-dose Cycle 8 PK sample, participants with a Ctrough sample collected with at least 2 days deviation from the planned date on Day 21 (i.e., before Day 19 or after Day 23), participants given a dose amount that deviated from the planned dose by >20% within 3 cycles (from Cycle 5), participants with a dose delay of more than 7 days, a Cycle 7 subcutaneous injection site other than thigh was used, if the Cycle 8 IV pre-dose and post-dose PK samples were switched, and an assay error impacting Ctrough measurement.
Serum Ctrough of Trastuzumab During Cycle 7 (Pre-Dose Cycle 8)
The observed trastuzumab trough serum concentration (Ctrough) at Cycle 7 was assessed following 3 cycles of pertuzumab IV and trastuzumab IV or the fixed-dose combination (FDC) of pertuzumab and trastuzumab SC. The Per Protocol Pharmacokinetics (PK) analysis population includes all enrolled participants who adhered to the protocol. Exclusions from the Per Protocol PK analysis population were made for the following reasons: participants were missing the Ctrough pre-dose Cycle 8 PK sample, participants with a Ctrough sample collected with at least 2 days deviation from the planned date on Day 21 (i.e., before Day 19 or after Day 23), participants given a dose amount that deviated from the planned dose by >20% within 3 cycles (from Cycle 5), participants with a dose delay of more than 7 days, a Cycle 7 subcutaneous injection site other than thigh was used, if the Cycle 8 IV pre-dose and post-dose PK samples were switched, and an assay error impacting Ctrough measurement.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Percentage of Participants With Total Pathological Complete Response (tpCR), According to Local Pathologist Assessment
Total pathological complete response (tpCR) was defined as eradication of invasive disease in the breast and axilla; that is, ypT0/is ypN0, according to the local pathologists' assessment. Pathologic response to therapy was determined at the time of surgery. The tpCR rate is the percentage of participants in the ITT population who achieved a tpCR. Participants with missing data for tpCR (i.e., do not undergo surgery or have an invalid pCR assessment) were included in the analysis and classified as non-responders. Rates of tpCR were calculated in each treatment arm and were assessed using the difference between the Arm B: Pertuzumab and Trastuzumab FDC SC and the Arm A: Pertuzumab IV and Trastuzumab IV tpCR rates and corresponding 95% Clopper-Pearson confidence intervals (CIs). The difference between the tpCR rates along with corresponding 95% Hauck-Anderson CIs were calculated.
Kaplan-Meier Estimate of the Percentage of Participants Who Are Event-Free According to Invasive Disease-Free Survival (iDFS; Excluding Second Primary Non-Breast Cancer [SPNBC]) Criteria
iDFS (excluding SPNBC) is defined as the time from the first date of no disease (i.e., the date of primary surgery) to the first occurrence of one of the following events: ipsilateral invasive breast tumor recurrence; ipsilateral local-regional invasive breast cancer reccurrence; distant recurrence; contralateral invasive breast cancer; or death attributable to any cause. Ipsilateral or contralateral in situ disease and SPNBC (including in situ carcinomas and non-melanoma skin cancers) will not be counted as progressive disease or relapse.
Kaplan-Meier Estimate of the Percentage of Participants Who Are Event-Free According to iDFS (Including SPNBC) Criteria
iDFS including SPNBC is defined in the same way as iDFS but including SPNBC as an event (with the exception of non-melanoma skin cancers and in situ carcinoma of any site).
Kaplan-Meier Estimate of the Percentage of Participants Who Are Event-Free According to Event-Free Survival (EFS; Excluding SPNBC) Criteria
EFS (excluding SPNBC) is defined as the time from enrollment to the first occurrence of one of the following events: breast cancer progression; breast cancer recurrence; or death from any cause. Ipsilateral or contralateral in situ disease and SPNBC (including in situ carcinomas and non-melanoma skin cancers) will not be counted as progressive disease or relapse.
Kaplan-Meier Estimate of the Percentage of Participants Who Are Event-Free According to EFS (Including SPNBC) Criteria
EFS including SPNBC is defined in the same way as EFS, but including SPNBC as an event (with the exception of non-melanoma skin cancers and in situ carcinoma of any site).
Kaplan-Meier Estimate of the Percentage of Participants Who Are Event-Free According to Distant Recurrence-Free Interval (DRFI) Criteria
DRFI is defined as the time between randomization and the date of distant breast cancer recurrence.
Kaplan-Meier Estimate of the Percentage of Participants in Overall Survival
Number of Participants With at Least One Adverse Event by Severity, Determined According to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Version 4 (NCI CTCAE v4)
Number of Participants With a Primary Cardiac Event
A primary cardiac event is defined as either a symptomatic ejection fraction decrease (heart failure) of New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class III/IV and a drop in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of at least 10-percentage points from baseline and to below 50%, or a definite or probable cardiac death. NYHA Class III is defined as: marked limitation of physical activity; comfortable at rest, but less than ordinary activity causes fatigue, palpitation, or dyspnea. NYHA Class IV is defined as: Inability to carry on any physical activity without discomfort; symptoms of cardiac insufficiency at rest; if any physical activity is undertaken, discomfort is increased. Definite cardiac death is defined as death due to heart failure, myocardial infarction, or documented primary arrhythmia. Probable cardiac death is defined as sudden unexpected death within 24 hours of a definite or probable cardiac event (e.g., syncope, cardiac arrest, chest pain, etc.) without documented etiology.
Number of Participants With a Secondary Cardiac Event, Defined as an Asymptomatic or Mildly Symptomatic Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction (LVSD) of NYHA Class II
An LVSD ("Ejection fraction decreased") of NYHA Class II is defined as a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) decrease of ≥10-percentage points below the baseline measurement to an absolute LVEF value of <50%, confirmed by a second LVEF assessment within approximately 3 weeks also showing a documented drop.
