About this study

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Pathological Complete Response (pCR).

    Pathological complete response (pCR) in the breast tissue and the lymph node tissue will be assessed upon completion of pre-operative systemic therapy and definitive surgery.

    Measured: At the time of definitive surgery (approximately 24-36 weeks from first dose of study drug).

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Event Free Survival (EFS)

    EFS will be defined as the time from random assignment to documentation of the first of the following events: discontinuation of study therapy due to protocol-defined progression prior to surgery; local, regional, or distant recurrence of breast cancer following curative surgery; a new breast cancer; another new onset malignancy; or death as a result of any cause.

    Measured: Up to 4 years from the date of definitive surgery.

  2. Overall Survival (OS)

    OS will be defined as the number of days from the day the subject is randomized to the date of the subject's death.

    Measured: Up to 4 years from the date of definitive surgery.

  3. Rate of eligibility for breast conservation after therapy (BCR).

    Whether a subject is eligible for breast conserving surgery for whom mastectomy was planned at diagnosis will be determined by the subject's surgeon prior to chemotherapy and after completion of chemotherapy.

    Measured: At the time of definitive surgery (approximately 24-36 weeks from first dose of study drug).
