A Study of Herceptin (Trastuzumab) in Combination Chemotherapy in Women With Locally Advanced Breast Cancer

Brief Summary
This study will assess the efficacy and safety of adding Herceptin to a paclitaxel-containing regimen followed by cyclophosphamide/methotrexate/fluorouracil (CMF) chemotherapy in women with locally advanced breast cancer and HER2/c-erbB-2 gene amplification. In a parallel observational study patients with HER2-negative disease will receive the same chemotherapy without Herceptin.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (5)
Event-Free Survival (EFS) - Percentage of Participants With an Event
EFS was defined as the time between randomization and date of documented occurrence of disease recurrence or progression (local, regional, distant or contralateral) or death due to any cause.
Baseline (BL), Presurgery: Day 1 (Cycles 1-7) and Days 1 and 8 (Cycles 8-10); Postsurgery: Day 1 (Cycles 1-17); every 6 months up to 60 months after last dose of study drug; yearly thereafter
Event-Free Survival
The median time, in months, between randomization and date of documented occurrence of an EFS event.
BL, Presurgery: Day 1 (Cycles 1-7) and Days 1 and 8 (Cycles 8-10); Postsurgery: Day 1 (Cycles 1-17); every 6 months up to 60 months after last dose of study drug; yearly thereafter
Percentage of Participants Event Free at 1 Year
BL, Presurgery: Day 1 (Cycles 1-7) and Days 1 and 8 (Cycles 8-10); Postsurgery: Day 1 (Cycles 1-17); every 6 months up to 60 months after last dose of study drug; yearly thereafter
Percentage of Participants Event Free at 2 Years
BL, Presurgery: Day 1 (Cycles 1-7) and Days 1 and 8 (Cycles 8-10); Postsurgery: Day 1 (Cycles 1-17); every 6 months up to 60 months after last dose of study drug; yearly thereafter
Percentage of Participants Event Free at 3 Years
BL, Presurgery: Day 1 (Cycles 1-7) and Days 1 and 8 (Cycles 8-10); Postsurgery: Day 1 (Cycles 1-17); every 6 months up to 60 months after last dose of study drug; yearly thereafter

Percentage of Participants Achieving Either Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) According to Modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Criteria
BL, Presurgery: Day 1 of Cycles 1-10
Overall Survival (OS) - Percentage of Participants With an Event
BL, Presurgery: Day 1 (Cycles 1-7) and Days 1 and 8 (Cycles 8-10); Postsurgery: Day 1 (Cycles 1-17); every 6 months up to 60 months after last dose of study drug; yearly thereafter
Overall Survival
BL, Presurgery: Day 1 (Cycles 1-7) and Days 1 and 8 (Cycles 8-10); Postsurgery: Day 1 (Cycles 1-17); every 6 months up to 60 months after last dose of study drug; yearly thereafter

Study Arms (3)
HER-2+ Trastuzumab, Doxorubicin/Paclitaxel/CMF
EXPERIMENTALParticipants with HER2 proto-oncogene positive breast cancer (HER2+) were treated with trastuzumab 8 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg), intravenous (IV), on Day 1 of Cycle 1, followed by 6 mg/kg, IV, on Day 1 of Cycle 2 to up a maximum of Cycle 17. Participants also received doxorubicin 60 mg/ square meter (m\^2), IV, and paclitaxel 150 mg/m\^2, IV, on Day 1 of Cycles 1 through 3. Followed by paclitaxel 175 mg/m\^2, IV, alone on Day 1 of Cycles 4 through 7. Participants also received CMF: cyclophosphamide 600 mg/m\^2, IV; methotrexate 40 mg/m\^2, IV; and 5-fluorouracil 600 mg/m\^2, IV, on Day 1 of Cycles 8 through 10.
HER-2+ Doxorubicin/Paclitaxel/CMF
ACTIVE COMPARATORParticipants with HER2 proto-oncogene positive breast cancer were treated with doxorubicin 60 mg/m\^2, IV, and paclitaxel 150 mg/m\^2, IV, on Day 1 of Cycles 1 through 3. Followed by paclitaxel 175 mg/m\^2, IV, alone on Day 1 of Cycles 4 through 7. Participants also received CMF on Day 1 of Cycle 8 through 10.
HER-2- Doxorubicin/Paclitaxel/CMF
ACTIVE COMPARATORParticipants with HER2 proto-oncogene negative breast cancer were treated with doxorubicin 60 mg/m\^2, IV, and paclitaxel 150 mg/m\^2, IV, on Day 1 of Cycles 1 through 3. Followed by paclitaxel 175 mg/m\^2, IV, alone on Day 1 of Cycles 4 through 7. Participants also received CMF on Day 1 of Cycle 8 through 10.
