Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome MeasureMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
Number of participants with pCR
Pathologic complete response (pCR) is defined as lacking all signs of cancer in the tissue samples removed in the breast or axilla (armpit) during surgery or biopsy after study treatment
Up to 8 months
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome MeasureMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
Number of participants with Pathologic response by Residual Cancer Burden (RCB) classification
Up to 8 months
Number of Participants with Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)
Up to 23 months
Number of Participants Discontinuing Study Treatment Due to TEAEs
Up to 23 months
Number of participants that completed breast conservation surgery (BCS)
Up to 8 months
Event Free Survival (EFS)
EFS is defined as the time (in months) from randomization to disease progression, disease recurrence, or death from any cause
Up to 46 months
Overall Survival (OS)
OS is defined as the time in months from randomization to the date of death due to any cause.
Up to 46 months
Number of participants reporting Symptomatic Adverse Events based on Patient-reported Outcome-Common Terminology Criteria for AEs (PRO-CTCAE)
Symptomatic AEs assessed by the PRO-CTCAE are analyzed at the item level with symptom severity, frequency, and interference scored from 0 to 4 and presence/absence scored 0 to 1, and higher scores reflect worse symptoms.
Up to 23 months
Number of participants reporting Symptomatic Adverse Events based on European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Item Library
Symptomatic AEs assessed by the EORTC Item Library Forms are analyzed at the item level with scores ranging from 1 to 4, where a 4 indicates more severe symptoms.
Up to 23 months
Percentage of all treated participants reporting overall side-effect bother on the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy General Physical Item 5 (FACIT-GP5)
The Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT) GP5 Item score ranges from 0 (Not at all) to 4 (Very Much), where higher scores reflect greater bother from treatment side effects.
Up to 23 months
