Arm/Group Title Observation Arm Herceptin 1-Year Arm Herceptin 2-Year Arm
Hide Arm/Group Description Participants who completed definitive surgery and systemic adjuvant chemotherapy were observed for efficacy and safety until 10 years from individual randomization and for survival until 10 years after enrollment of the last participant. No Herceptin was provided. Participants who completed definitive surgery and systemic adjuvant chemotherapy received a loading dose of Herceptin as 8 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) via intravenous (IV) infusion on Day 1, followed by a maintenance dose of 6 mg/kg via IV infusion 3 weeks later and thereafter every 3 weeks for 1 year or until disease recurrence, whichever occurred first. Participants were observed for efficacy and safety until 10 years from individual randomization and for survival until 10 years after enrollment of the last participant. Participants who completed definitive surgery and systemic adjuvant chemotherapy received a loading dose of Herceptin as 8 mg/kg via IV infusion on Day 1, followed by a maintenance dose of 6 mg/kg via IV infusion 3 weeks later and thereafter every 3 weeks for 2 years or until disease recurrence, whichever occurred first.

1.Primary Outcome
Title Percentage of Participants With Disease-Free Survival (DFS) Events in Herceptin 1-Year Arm Compared to Observation: 1-Year Median Follow-Up
Hide Description DFS events included loco-regional or distant recurrence of breast cancer, development of contralateral breast cancer or second non-breast malignancy other than basal or squamous carcinoma of the skin and carcinoma in situ of the cervix, or death from any cause. The percentage of participants with at least one DFS event was reported. The analysis of the Herceptin 1-Year Arm against the Observation Arm after 1-year median follow-up, as reported below, was performed by the Sponsor in 2006 following database cleaning. The analysis of the Herceptin 2-Year Arm against the Observation Arm was performed for an Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC) in 2005 at a time the Sponsor was blinded. Therefore, these data are reported under a separate Outcome Measure.

Hide Description DFS events included loco-regional or distant recurrence of breast cancer, development of contralateral breast cancer or second non-breast malignancy other than basal or squamous carcinoma of the skin and carcinoma in situ of the cervix, or death from any cause. The percentage of participants free of DFS events (i.e., the DFS rate) and corresponding 95% CI were estimated by Kaplan-Meier analysis based on available data at the time of the final analysis with a 10-year maximum follow-up for DFS events.

Title Percentage of Participants With Secondary Cardiac Endpoint Events Compared to Observation: 10-Year Maximum Follow-Up
Hide Description Secondary cardiac endpoint events included NYHA Class I or II CHF with a drop in LVEF measured by multiple-gated acquisition or electrocardiogram, unless the subsequent assessment of LVEF indicated a return to levels that did not meet the definition of a significant LVEF drop. A significant LVEF drop was defined as an absolute reduction of at least 10 percentage points from Baseline and to a value <50%. The percentage of participants with at least one secondary cardiac endpoint event was reported, excluding those with both a primary and secondary cardiac endpoint event. The 95% CI was calculated by the Pearson-Clopper method for a one-sample binomial.

Hide Arm/Group Description Participants who completed definitive surgery and systemic adjuvant chemotherapy were observed for efficacy and safety until 10 years from individual randomization and for survival until 10 years after enrollment of the last participant. No Herceptin was provided. After the release of initial study results, participants in the Observation Arm were allowed to cross over to receive adjuvant Herceptin prior to disease recurrence. As such, adverse events that occurred after crossover were not included in the safety analyses for this arm. Participants who completed definitive surgery and systemic adjuvant chemotherapy received a loading dose of Herceptin as 8 mg/kg via IV infusion on Day 1, followed by a maintenance dose of 6 mg/kg via IV infusion 3 weeks later and thereafter every 3 weeks for 1 year or until disease recurrence, whichever occurred first.
