Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Number of Participants With a Pathological Complete Response [ Time Frame: surgery after eight 21-day cycles of chemotherapy ]
    pathological assessment of tissue removed during surgery to determine if tumor tissue is still present after chemotherapy


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Number of Participants With a Clinical Tumor Response After the First Sequence of Chemotherapy [ Time Frame: Cycles 1-4 (21-day cycles) ]
    The number of participants with a clinical tumor response based on measurement of tumor size after the first sequence of chemotherapy, without a second confirmatory tumor measurement, per protocol.

  2. Number of Participants With a Clinical Tumor Response After the Second Sequence of Chemotherapy [ Time Frame: Cycles 5-8 (21-day cycles) ]
    The number of participants with a clinical tumor response based on measurement of tumor size after the second sequence of chemotherapy, without a second confirmatory tumor measurement required, per protocol.

  3. Number of Patients With Histologically Negative Axillary Lymph Node Status at Surgery [ Time Frame: surgery after eight 21-day cycles of chemotherapy ]
    Histologically negative is defined as no malignant cells present in the axillary lymph nodes during surgery.

  4. Disease-free Survival [ Time Frame: baseline through post surgery, follow-up for 3 years post-surgery (up to 5.2 years after randomization) ]
    Disease-free survival is defined as the time from date of study enrollment (randomization) to first date of progressive disease (PD) or death from any cause. PD per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria is at least a 20% increase in the sum of longest diameter (LD) of target lesions taking as references the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions. For patients not known to have died as of the data cut-off date and who do not have progressive disease, disease-free survival was censored at the last contact date.
