Official Title:

A Randomized Multicenter, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Comparison of Chemotherapy Plus Trastuzumab Plus Placebo Versus Chemotherapy Plus Trastuzumab Plus Pertuzumab as Adjuvant Therapy in Patients With Operable HER2-Positive Primary Breast Cancer

Summary

This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, two-arm study will assess the safety and efficacy of pertuzumab in addition to chemotherapy plus trastuzumab as adjuvant therapy in participants with operable HER2-positive primary breast cancer. This study will be carried out in collaboration with the Breast International Group (BIG).
