Measure Description: A participant was deemed to have measurable disease if they had at least 1 target lesion at screening. Target lesions (maximum of 5 per organ and 10 in total) were selected on the basis of their size (lesions with the longest diameter) and their suitability for accurate repeated measurements (either by imaging techniques or clinically). Any participants with non-target lesions only were deemed to have non-measurable disease. The IRF did not evaluate baseline tumor assessments for any participant without a post-baseline tumor assessment.
1.Primary Outcome
Title Progression-Free Survival (PFS) Determined by an Independent Review Facility
Hide Description PFS was defined as the time from randomization to first documented radiographical progressive disease (PD), as determined by an independent review facility (IRF) using RECIST version 1.0, or death from any cause (within 18 weeks of last tumor assessment), whichever occurred first (Kaplan-Meier method). For target lesions, PD was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum of the LD recorded since treatment started or the appearance of ≥1 new lesion. For non-target lesions, PD was defined as the appearance of ≥1 new lesion or unequivocal progression of existing lesions. Participants without IRF-determined PD or who had not died within 18 weeks of their last IRF-determined, progression-free tumor assessment were censored at the date of the last IRF-reviewed, evaluable tumor assessment; those with no post-baseline tumor assessment and who had not died within 18 weeks of baseline were censored at 1 day.
Time Frame Tumor assessments every 9 weeks from randomization to IRF-determined PD or death from any cause, whichever occurred first, up to the primary completion date (up to 3 years, 3 months)

2.Secondary Outcome
Title Overall Survival
Hide Description Overall survival (OS) was the time from randomization to death from any cause, using Kaplan-Meier methodology. Survival data was collected every 18 weeks during the post-treatment follow-up period until death, loss to follow-up, or withdrawal of consent. Those who were alive, lost to follow up, or withdrew consent were censored at the latest date they participated in the study; those without post-baseline data were censored at 1 day. OS analyses were planned to take place at the primary completion date (First Interim), after 385 deaths (Event-Driven Final), and at the end of study (End-of-Study). A second interim OS analysis was planned due to a formal request from the European Medicines Agency. Median [range] time in weeks on study at each OS analysis (Pertuzumab vs. Placebo): First: 77.1 [0.7-165.3] vs. 73.1 [0.4-165.3]; Second: 117.1 [0.7-207.9] vs. 105.9 [0.4-207.9]; Event-Driven Final: 189.9 [0.7-304.1] vs. 140.5 [0.4-301.6]; End-of-Study: 201.8 [0.7-520.0] vs. 138.0 [0.4-514.7].

Title Objective Response Determined by an Independent Review Facility
Hide Description An objective response was defined as the percentage of participants with confirmed best overall response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) determined by an independent review facility (IRF) using RECIST v1.0 on two consecutive occasions ≥4 weeks apart. For target lesions, CR: disappearance of all target lesions; PR: ≥30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions (baseline sum LD as reference); PD: ≥20% increase in the sum of the LD of target lesions (smallest sum of the LD recorded as reference) or appearance of ≥1 new lesion; SD: neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase for PD. For non-target lesions, CR: disappearance of all non-target lesions; Incomplete/SD: persistence of ≥1 non-target lesions; PD: unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions. 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated only for clinical responses using the Pearson-Clopper method.
Time Frame Tumor assessments every 9 weeks from Baseline until IRF-determined progressive disease (PD), death, or first administration of next line of anti-cancer therapy (whichever occurred first), up to the primary completion date (up to 3 years, 3 months)

Title Duration of Objective Response Determined by an Independent Review Facility
Hide Description Duration of objective response (estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method) was defined as the time from the initial confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR), the date of tumor assessment at which the CR/PR was first detected by the independent review facility (IRF) using RECIST version 1.0, until the date of IRF-determined progressive disease (PD), death from any cause within 18 weeks of the last tumor assessment, or first administration of next line of anti-cancer therapy (whichever occurred first). If the visit when the initial CR or PR was observed spanned multiple dates, the latest date was used. Only participants in the ITT analysis population with an IRF-determined objective response (CR or PR), observed prior to IRF-assessed PD, death or next line of anti-cancer therapy, were included in the analysis. Participants who did not progress or die after they had a confirmed response were censored at the date of their last IRF-evaluable tumor measurement.
Time Frame From initial IRF-confirmed objective response until IRF-determined progressive disease (PD), death, or first administration of next line of anti-cancer therapy (whichever occurred first), up to the primary completion date (up to 3 years, 3 months)

Title Time to Symptom Progression
Hide Description Time to symptom progression was defined as the time from randomization to the first symptom progression as measured by the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-for patients with Breast Cancer (FACT-B) questionnaire with the Trial Outcomes Index-Physical/Functional/Breast (TOI-PFB) subscale. The FACT-B TOI-PFB subscale contains 24 items from 3 subsections of the FACT-B questionnaire: Physical well-being, functional well-being, and additional concerns for breast cancer patients (breast cancer subscale [BCS]). All items in the questionnaire were rated by the patient on a 5-point scale ranging from 0 ("not at all") to 4 ("very much"). The total score ranged from 0 to 96. A higher score indicates better perceived quality of life. A positive change score from baseline indicates improvement. Symptom progression was defined as a decrease from baseline of 5 points or more.
Time Frame Every 9 weeks from Baseline until investigator-determined progressive disease, up to the primary completion date (up to 3 years, 3 months)

Title Overall Number of Participants Who Experienced at Least One Adverse Event, Including Serious and Non-Serious Adverse Events, by Most Severe Intensity (According to NCI-CTCAE v3.0) During the Treatment Period
Hide Description Adverse event (AE) severity was assessed according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, Version 3.0 (NCI-CTCAE v3.0); if the AE was not specifically listed, the following grades of severity were used: Grade 1 = mild; Grade 2 = moderate; Grade 3 = severe; Grade 4 = life-threatening or disabling; and Grade 5 = death. Severe and serious are not synonymous. Severity refers to the intensity of an AE, whereas a serious AE must meet criteria set out in the protocol; both were independently assessed for each AE. Only the most severe intensity was counted for multiple occurrences of the same AE in one participant. AEs reported prior to first crossover treatment were included in the Placebo arm, and in the Crossover arm after that date, for participants who crossed over from placebo to pertuzumab. Median [range] time on study treatment per arm: Placebo: 49.3 [0.3-514.7] weeks; Pertuzumab: 75.7 [0.6-519.6] weeks; Crossover: 129.9 [0.3-322.3] weeks.
Time Frame Placebo arm: Baseline to last dose of study treatment +42 days (or crossover date); Pertuzumab arm: Baseline to last dose of study treatment +42 days; Crossover arm: Crossover date to last dose of study treatment +42 days (see Description - time per arm)

Title Overall Number of Adverse Events by Severity (NCI-CTCAE v3.0 All Grades and Grades 3 to 5) Per 100 Patient-Years of Exposure During the Treatment Period
Hide Description Adverse event (AE) severity, including serious and non-serious AEs, was assessed according to the NCI-CTCAE version 3.0; if the AE was not specifically listed, the following grades of severity were used: Grade 1 is mild; Grade 2 is moderate; Grade 3 is severe; Grade 4 is life-threatening or disabling; and Grade 5 is death. Multiple occurrences of the same AE in 1 participant were counted multiple times. Only AEs that started during the overall study treatment period were included. The cutoff date for inclusion of events and for calculation of patient-years was the date of the most recent follow-up of the participant, defined as the last available date during the treatment period, excluding pre-treatment and safety follow-up data. Confidence intervals were calculated assuming the number of events followed a Poisson distribution. Data reported prior to the date of first crossover treatment were included under the Placebo arm for participants who crossed over from placebo to pertuzumab.

Title Cardiac-Related AEs to Monitor: Number of Participants Who Experienced at Least One Symptomatic Left Ventricular Dysfunction (LVD), Any LVD, or Serious AE Suggestive of Congestive Heart Failure by Severity During the Treatment Period
Hide Description Cardiac-related adverse events (AEs) to monitor during the study included investigator-assessed symptomatic left ventricular dysfunction (LVD), any LVD, or a serious adverse event (SAE) suggestive of congestive heart failure (CHF). All cardiac-related AEs were graded for severity according to NCI-CTCAE v3.0. Asymptomatic (Grades 1-2) and symptomatic (Grades 3-5) left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) both coded to the MedDRA preferred term LVD. Investigator-assessed events of symptomatic LVD were also graded for severity of symptoms according to Classes I (least severe) to IV (most severe) of the New York Heart Association (NYHA) Classification. SAEs suggestive of CHF were identified as serious events from the Standardized MedDRA Query (SMQ) (Wide) 'Cardiac Failure'. Median [range] time on study treatment per arm: Placebo: 49.3 [0.3-514.7] weeks; Pertuzumab: 75.7 [0.6-519.6] weeks; Crossover: 129.9 [0.3-322.3] weeks.

Title Overall Number of Participants Who Experienced at Least One Adverse Event Leading to Discontinuation of Any or All Study Medication
Hide Description Participants could continue study treatment with pertuzumab/placebo plus trastuzumab when docetaxel was discontinued due to an adverse event (AE). Discontinuation of pertuzumab/placebo or trastuzumab due to an AE led to discontinuation of all study medication. The number of participants who discontinued any study medication due to an AE includes those who discontinued all study medication and those who discontinued docetaxel only and then continued on targeted therapy (note: some of these participants may have subsequently discontinued all treatment due to a separate AE). Multiple occurrences of the same adverse event in 1 participant was counted only once. AEs reported prior to first crossover treatment were included in the Placebo arm, and after that date in the Crossover arm, for those who crossed over from placebo to pertuzumab. Median [range] time on study treatment per arm: Placebo: 49.3 [0.3-514.7] weeks; Pertuzumab: 75.7 [0.6-519.6] weeks; Crossover: 129.9 [0.3-322.3] weeks.
Time Frame Placebo arm: Baseline to last dose of study treatment +42 days (or crossover date); Pertuzumab arm: Baseline to last dose of study treatment +42 days; Crossover arm: Crossover date to last dose of study treatment +42 days (see Description - time per arm)

Participants received pertuzumab 420 milligrams (mg) intravenously (IV) once every 3 weeks (q3w) and trastuzumab 6 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) IV q3w, plus docetaxel 75 milligrams per square metre of body surface (mg/m^2) IV q3w (for at least 6 cycles; 1 cycle was 21 days). After Cycle 6, continuation of docetaxel treatment was at the discretion of the participant and treating physician. Participants remained in the treatment phase of the study until investigator-assessed radiographic or clinical evidence of disease progression, unmanageable toxicity, or study termination and were followed for survival until death, loss to follow-up, withdrawal of consent, or study termination.

Title Number of Participants With Laboratory Abnormalities in Blood Biochemistry Tests by Highest Grade According to NCI-CTCAE v3.0 During the Treatment Period
Hide Description Clinical laboratory tests for blood biochemistry parameters were performed at local laboratories; any abnormal values (High or Low) were based on local laboratory normal ranges. Laboratory abnormalities are presented by the highest grade according to NCI-CTCAE v3.0. Not every abnormal laboratory value qualified as an adverse event, only if it met any of the following criteria: clinically significant (per investigator); accompanied by clinical symptoms; resulted in a change in study treatment; or required a change in concomitant therapy. Median [range] time on study treatment per arm: Placebo: 49.3 [0.3-514.7] weeks; Pertuzumab: 75.7 [0.6-519.6] weeks; Crossover: 129.9 [0.3-322.3] weeks. ALP = alkaline phosphatase; GGT = gamma-glutamyl transferase; SGOT = serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase; SGPT = serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase
Time Frame On Day 1 of every treatment cycle (1 cycle is 21 days) until Treatment Discontinuation Visit (see Description for time on study treatment per arm)

This is the placebo safety population, which includes participants who received study treatment with placebo at every cycle. Participants received placebo IV q3w and trastuzumab 6 mg/kg IV q3This is the placebo safety population, which includes participants who received study treatment with placebo at every cycle. Participants received placebo IV q3w and trastuzumab 6 mg/kg IV q3w, plus docetaxel 75 mg/m^2 IV q3w (for at least 6 cycles; 1 cycle was 21 days). After Cycle 6, continuation of docetaxel treatment was at the discretion of the participant and treating physician. Participants remained in the treatment phase of the study until investigator-assessed radiographic or clinical evidence of disease progression, unmanageable toxicity, or study termination and were followed for survival until death, loss to follow-up, withdrawal of consent, or study termination.
This is the pertuzumab safety population, which includes participants who received at least one dose of study treatment with pertuzumab. Participants received pertuzumab 420 milligrams (mg) intravenously (IV) once every 3 weeks (q3w) and trastuzumab 6 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) IV q3w, plus docetaxel 75 milligrams per square metre of body surface (mg/m^2) IV q3w (for at least 6 cycles; 1 cycle was 21 days). After Cycle 6, continuation of docetaxel treatment was at the discretion of the participant and treating physician. Participants remained in the treatment phase of the study until investigator-assessed radiographic or clinical evidence of disease progression, unmanageable toxicity, or study termination and were followed for survival until death, loss to follow-up, withdrawal of consent, or study termination.
Fifty of 406 participants (12.3%) randomized to the placebo treatment arm whose disease had not progressed crossed over to an open-label pertuzumab treatment group between July 2012 and November 2018. Participants received pertuzumab administered as an IV loading dose of 840 mg at cycle 1 then 420 mg IV every q3w. Trastuzumab and docetaxel doses continued in accordance with the pre-crossover placebo treatment regimens and according to dosing specifications indicated in the study protocol. Participants remained in the treatment phase of the study until investigator-assessed radiographic or clinical evidence of disease progression, unmanageable toxicity, or study termination and were followed for survival until death, loss to follow-up, withdrawal of consent, or study termination.

Title Number of Participants With Laboratory Abnormalities in Hematology Tests by Highest Grade According to NCI-CTCAE v3.0 During the Treatment Period
Hide Description Clinical laboratory tests for hematology parameters were performed at local laboratories; any abnormal values (High or Low) were based on local laboratory normal ranges. Laboratory abnormalities are presented by the highest grade according to NCI-CTCAE v3.0. Not every abnormal laboratory value qualified as an adverse event, only if it met any of the following criteria: clinically significant (per investigator); accompanied by clinical symptoms; resulted in a change in study treatment; or required a change in concomitant therapy. Median [range] time on study treatment per arm: Placebo: 49.3 [0.3-514.7] weeks; Pertuzumab: 75.7 [0.6-519.6] weeks; Crossover: 129.9 [0.3-322.3] weeks. INR = International Normalized Ratio; PTT = partial thromboplastin time; WBC = white blood cell
Time Frame On Day 1 (and Day 8 for some measures) of every treatment cycle (1 cycle is 21 days) until Treatment Discontinuation Visit (see Description for time on study treatment per arm)

Hide Arm/Group Description:
This is the placebo safety population, which includes participants who received study treatment with placebo at every cycle. Participants received placebo IV q3w and trastuzumab 6 mg/kg IV q3This is the placebo safety population, which includes participants who received study treatment with placebo at every cycle. Participants received placebo IV q3w and trastuzumab 6 mg/kg IV q3w, plus docetaxel 75 mg/m^2 IV q3w (for at least 6 cycles; 1 cycle was 21 days). After Cycle 6, continuation of docetaxel treatment was at the discretion of the participant and treating physician. Participants remained in the treatment phase of the study until investigator-assessed radiographic or clinical evidence of disease progression, unmanageable toxicity, or study termination and were followed for survival until death, loss to follow-up, withdrawal of consent, or study termination.
This is the pertuzumab safety population, which includes participants who received at least one dose of study treatment with pertuzumab. Participants received pertuzumab 420 milligrams (mg) intravenously (IV) once every 3 weeks (q3w) and trastuzumab 6 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) IV q3w, plus docetaxel 75 milligrams per square metre of body surface (mg/m^2) IV q3w (for at least 6 cycles; 1 cycle was 21 days). After Cycle 6, continuation of docetaxel treatment was at the discretion of the participant and treating physician. Participants remained in the treatment phase of the study until investigator-assessed radiographic or clinical evidence of disease progression, unmanageable toxicity, or study termination and were followed for survival until death, loss to follow-up, withdrawal of consent, or study termination.
Fifty of 406 participants (12.3%) randomized to the placebo treatment arm whose disease had not progressed crossed over to an open-label pertuzumab treatment group between July 2012 and November 2018. Participants received pertuzumab administered as an IV loading dose of 840 mg at cycle 1 then 420 mg IV every q3w. Trastuzumab and docetaxel doses continued in accordance with the pre-crossover placebo treatment regimens and according to dosing specifications indicated in the study protocol. Participants remained in the treatment phase of the study until investigator-assessed radiographic or clinical evidence of disease progression, unmanageable toxicity, or study termination and were followed for survival until death, loss to follow-up, withdrawal of consent, or study termination.

Hide Arm/Group Description This is the placebo safety population, which includes participants who received study treatment with placebo at every cycle. Participants received placebo IV q3w and trastuzumab 6 mg/kg IV q3w, plus docetaxel 75 mg/m^2 IV q3w (for at least 6 cycles; 1 cycle was 21 days). After Cycle 6, continuation of docetaxel treatment was at the discretion of the participant and treating physician. Participants remained in the treatment phase of the study until investigator-assessed radiographic or clinical evidence of disease progression, unmanageable toxicity, or study termination and were followed for survival until death, loss to follow-up, withdrawal of consent, or study termination. This is the pertuzumab safety population, which includes participants who received at least one dose of study treatment with pertuzumab. Participants received pertuzumab 420 milligrams (mg) intravenously (IV) once every 3 weeks (q3w) and trastuzumab 6 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) IV q3w, plus docetaxel 75 milligrams per square metre of body surface (mg/m^2) IV q3w (for at least 6 cycles; 1 cycle was 21 days).
