A Randomised, Multicentre, Multinational Phase II Study to Evaluate Pertuzumab in Combination With Trastuzumab, Given Either Concomitantly or Sequentially With Standard Anthracycline-based Chemotherapy or Concomitantly With a Non-anthracycline-based Chemotherapy Regimen, as Neoadjuvant Therapy for Patients With Locally Advanced, Inflammatory or Early Stage HER2-positive Breast Cancer

Brief Summary
This 3 arm study will assess the tolerability, safety and efficacy of 3 neoadjuvant treatment regimens in participants with locally advanced, inflammatory or early stage human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer. Before surgery, participants will be randomized to receive either A) 6 cycles of pertuzumab plus trastuzumab (Herceptin), with 5-fluorouracil/epirubicin/cyclophosphamide (FEC) for cycles 1-3 and docetaxel for cycles 4-6, or B) FEC for cycles 1-3 followed by pertuzumab plus trastuzumab with docetaxel for cycles 4-6, or C) 6 cycles of pertuzumab plus trastuzumab with docetaxel and carboplatin. Pertuzumab will be administered at a loading dose of 840 mg intravenously (iv), then 420 mg iv 3-weekly, trastuzumab at a loading dose of 8 mg/kg iv, then 6 mg/kg iv 3-weekly, docetaxel at 75 mg/m\^2 iv, increased to 100 mg/m\^2 iv 3-weekly, and FEC and carboplatin iv 3-weekly at standard doses. Following surgery participants will receive trastuzumab 6 mg/kg iv 3-weekly for a total of 1 year, as well as adequate chemo-, radio- and hormone therapy. Anticipated time on study treatment is 4-12 months, and target sample size is 200-300.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Safety: Percentage of Participants With Symptomatic Cardiac Events as Assessed by the Investigator
Left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) as assessed by the Investigator, including Grade 3, 4 or 5 symptomatic LVSD with symptomatic cardiac events.
From baseline up to approximately 3.5 years
Safety: Percentage of Participants With Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) Decline During Pre-operative (Neoadjuvant) Period
Percentage of participants with LVEF measures decline of ≥ 10% from baseline and to a value of \<50% during the pre-operative (neoadjuvant) period.
From baseline up to approximately 18 weeks
Secondary Outcomes (10)
Efficacy: Percentage of Participants With Complete Pathological Response (pCR)
At surgery, after 18 weeks (6 cycles) of treatment
Efficacy: Clinical Response Rate
During each 3-week cycle of 6 total cycles: up to 18 weeks
Efficacy: Time to Clinical Response
Up to 18 weeks
Efficacy: Percentage of Participants Achieving Breast Conserving Surgery
At approximately 18 weeks
Efficacy: Percentage of Participants Without an Overall Survival (OS) Event
From baseline to end of study up to 5 years
- +5 more secondary outcomes
Study Arms (3)
T+P Concomitant Anthracycline-based chemotherapy
EXPERIMENTAL5-Fluorouracil, epirubicin with cyclophosphamide (FEC), trastuzumab (T) and pertuzumab (P) every three weeks for three cycles, followed by docetaxel, trastuzumab and pertuzumab every three weeks, for three cycles as neoadjuvant therapy. Trastuzumab every three weeks from Cycle 7 up to Cycle 17 as adjuvant therapy post-surgery.
T+P Sequential Anthracycline-based chemotherapy
EXPERIMENTALFEC every three weeks for three cycles, followed by docetaxel, trastuzumab (T) and pertuzumab (P) every three weeks, for three cycles as neoadjuvant therapy. Trastuzumab every three weeks from Cycle 7 up to Cycle 21 as adjuvant therapy post-surgery.
T+P Concomitant Non-Anthracycline chemotherapy
EXPERIMENTALTrastuzumab, carboplatin, docetaxel (TCH) and pertuzumab (P) every three weeks, for six cycles as neoadjuvant therapy. Trastuzumab every three weeks from Cycle 7 up to Cycle 17 as adjuvant therapy post-surgery.
Interventions
840 mg loading dose intravenously (IV), then 420 mg IV 3-weekly.
8 mg/kg loading dose IV, then 6 mg/kg every 3 weeks.
5-fluorouracil 500 mg/m\^2, epirubicin 100 mg/m\^2 and cyclophosphamide 600 mg/m\^2.
75 mg/m\^2 for the first dose; 100 mg/m\^2 if no dose limiting toxicity occurs.
Trastuzumab followed by carboplatin at target area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) 6 and docetaxel at a starting dose of 75 mg/m\^2. All treatments were given every three weeks by the IV route.
