Study in Participants With Early-Stage or Locally Advanced Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (HER) 2-Positive Breast Cancer to Evaluate Treatment With Trastuzumab Plus (+) Pertuzumab + Docetaxel Compared With Trastuzumab + Placebo + Docetaxel
PEONY
A Randomized, Multicenter, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Phase III Study to Evaluate Pertuzumab in Combination With Docetaxel and Trastuzumab as Neoadjuvant Therapy, and Pertuzumab in Combination With Trastuzumab as Adjuvant Therapy After Surgery and Chemotherapy in Patients With Early-Stage or Locally Advanced HER2-Positive Breast Cancer

Brief Summary
This is an Asia-Pacific regional, randomized, double-blind, multicenter trial designed to evaluate treatment with trastuzumab + pertuzumab + docetaxel compared with trastuzumab + placebo + docetaxel in chemotherapy-naïve participants with early-stage or locally advanced HER2-positive breast cancer. The anticipated treatment duration is approximately 17 months.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Percentage of Participants With Total Pathologic Complete Response (tpCR) as Assessed by the Independent Review Committee (IRC)
This tpCR was assessed by the IRC. tpCR was defined as the absence of any residual invasive cancer on hematoxylin and eosin evaluation of the resected breast specimen and all sampled ipsilateral lymph nodes after completion of neoadjuvant therapy and surgery (that is, ypT0/is, ypN0, in accordance with the current American Joint Committee on Cancer \[AJCC\] staging system). The analysis was based on the ITT population with participants grouped by the treatment assigned at the time of randomization. Participants whose tpCR assessment was missing or invalid were counted as not achieving tpCR. The duration of one treatment cycle was 21 days; the administration of therapy in Cycle 5 did not occur until 2 weeks after surgery. The percentages have been rounded off to first decimal point.
At surgery (Cycle 4 Days 22-35)
Secondary Outcomes (15)

Study Arms (2)
Trastuzumab, Pertuzumab, and Chemotherapy
EXPERIMENTALPrior to surgery: trastuzumab, pertuzumab, and docetaxel for 4 cycles (1 cycle = 21 days). After surgery/chemotherapy with 5-fluorouracil, epirubicin, and cyclophosphamide (FEC): trastuzumab and pertuzumab up to 1 year total.
Trastuzumab, Placebo, and Chemotherapy
EXPERIMENTALPrior to surgery: trastuzumab, placebo, and docetaxel for 4 cycles (1 cycle = 21 days). After surgery/FEC chemotherapy: trastuzumab and placebo up to 1 year total.
Interventions
Fluorouracil 500-600 milligrams per square meter (mg/m2), epirubicin 90-120 mg/m2, and cyclophosphamide 500-600 mg/m2 by intravenous (IV) infusion every 3 weeks for three cycles (Cycles 5-7). FEC chemotherapeutic agents will be administered following surgery on Day 1 of each specified cycle.
All participants who are eligible for surgery will undergo surgery and have their pathologic response evaluated.
Docetaxel IV infusion in 3-week cycles. Neoadjuvant treatment: 75 mg/m2 for Cycles 1-4.
Pertuzumab IV infusion in 3-week cycles. Prior to surgery (neoadjuvant treatment): 840 milligrams (mg) loading dose for Cycle 1, followed by 420 mg for Cycles 2-4. After surgery and 3 cycles of FEC chemotherapy (adjuvant treatment): 840 mg loading dose for Cycle 8, followed by 420 mg for Cycles 9-20)
Placebo by IV infusion in 3-week cycles as neoadjuvant treatment (Cycles 1-4)and as adjuvant treatment (Cycles 8-20)
Trastuzumab IV infusion in 3-week cycles. Neoadjuvant treatment: 8 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) loading dose for Cycle 1, followed by 6 mg/kg for Cycles 2-4. Adjuvant treatment: 8 mg/kg loading dose for Cycle 8, followed by 6 mg/kg for Cycles 9-20.
