1.Primary Outcome
Title Percentage of Participants With Invasive Disease-Free Survival (IDFS) Event (Excluding Second Primary Non-Breast Cancer [SPNBC]), as Assessed Using Radiologic, Histologic Examinations or Laboratory Findings
Hide Description Percentage of participants with IDFS events (excluding SPNBC) is reported. IDFS event was defined as the first occurrence of one of the following events: Ipsilateral invasive breast tumor recurrence (that is [i.e.], an invasive breast cancer involving the same breast parenchyma as the original primary lesion); ipsilateral local-regional invasive breast cancer recurrence (i.e., an invasive breast cancer in the axilla, regional lymph nodes, chest wall, and/or skin of the ipsilateral breast); distant recurrence (i.e., evidence of breast cancer in any anatomic site - other than the two above mentioned sites); death attributable to any cause; contralateral invasive breast cancer. All SPNBCs and in situ carcinomas (including ductal carcinoma in situ [DCIS] and lobular carcinoma in situ [LCIS]) and non-melanoma skin cancer were excluded as an event.

Hide Description Kaplan-Meier estimate of the percentage of participants who were DFS event-free at Year 3 is reported. DFS was defined as the first occurrence of one of the following events: Ipsilateral invasive breast tumor recurrence (i.e., an invasive breast cancer involving the same breast parenchyma as the original primary lesion); ipsilateral local-regional invasive breast cancer recurrence (i.e., an invasive breast cancer in the axilla, regional lymph nodes, chest wall, and/or skin of the ipsilateral breast); distant recurrence (i.e., evidence of breast cancer in any anatomic site - other than the two above mentioned sites); death attributable to any cause; contralateral invasive breast cancer; SPNBC or contralateral or ipsilateral DCIS.

Title Change From Baseline in LVEF to Worst Post-Baseline Value
Hide Description LVEF is the fraction of blood (in percent) pumped out of the heart's left ventricular chamber with each heart beat, and is a measure of cardiac output for the heart. Baseline LVEF value and the maximum absolute decrease (worst value) in LVEF measurement from baseline were reported. LVEF was measured by echocardiogram (ECHO) or multiple-gated acquisition (MUGA) scan.

Title Change From Baseline in European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire - Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30) Global Health Status (GHS) Scale Score
Hide Description EORTC QLQ-C30 is a cancer-specific instrument with 30 questions used to assess the overall quality of life (QOL) in cancer participants. First 28 questions used 4-point scale (1=not at all, 2=a little, 3=quite a bit, 4=very much) for evaluating 5 functional scales (physical, role, social, cognitive, emotional), 8 symptom scales/items (diarrhea, fatigue, dyspnea, appetite loss, insomnia, nausea and vomiting [N/V], constipation, and pain) and a single item (financial difficulties). Last 2 questions represented participant's assessment of overall health and quality of life, used 7-point scale (1=very poor to 7=excellent). EORTC QLQ-C30 global scores were linearly transformed on a scale of 0 to 100, with a high score indicating better GHS/QOL. Negative change from Baseline values indicated deterioration in QOL or functioning and positive values indicated improvement.

Title Change From Baseline in EORTC QLQ-C30 Disease/Treatment-Related Symptoms Subscale Scores
Hide Description EORTC QLQ-C30 is a cancer-specific instrument with 30 questions used to assess the overall QOL in cancer participants. First 28 questions used 4-point scale (1=not at all, 2=a little, 3=quite a bit, 4=very much) for evaluating 5 functional scales (physical, role, social, cognitive, emotional), 8 symptom scales/items (diarrhea, fatigue, dyspnea, appetite loss, insomnia, nausea and vomiting [N/V], constipation, and pain) and a single item (financial difficulties). Last 2 questions represented participant's assessment of overall health and quality of life, coded on 7-point scale (1=very poor to 7=excellent). EORTC QLQ-C30 disease/treatment-related symptom scores were linearly transformed on a scale of 0 to 100, with a high score indicating a higher level of symptoms. Negative change from Baseline values indicated improvement in symptoms and positive values indicated worsening of symptoms.

Hide Description EORTC-QLQ-BR23 is a 23-item breast cancer-specific companion module to the EORTC-QLQ-C30 and consists of four functional scales (body image, sexual enjoyment, sexual functioning, future perspective [FP]) and four symptom scales (systemic side effects [SE], upset by hair loss, arm symptoms, breast symptoms). Questions used 4-point scale (1=not at all, 2=a little, 3=quite a bit, 4=very much). Scores averaged and transformed to 0-100 scale. High score for functional scale indicated high/better level of functioning/healthy functioning. Negative change from Baseline indicated deterioration in QOL and positive change from Baseline indicated an improvement in QOL.

Title Change From Baseline in EORTC QLQ-BR23 Symptom Scale Score
Hide Description EORTC-QLQ-BR23 is a 23-item breast cancer-specific companion module to the EORTC-QLQ-C30 and consists of four functional scales (body image, sexual enjoyment, sexual functioning, future perspective [FP]) and four symptom scales (systemic side effects [SE], upset by hair loss, arm symptoms, breast symptoms). Questions used 4-point scale (1=not at all, 2=a little, 3=quite a bit, 4=very much). Scores averaged and transformed to 0-100 scale. High score for symptom scale indicated high level of symptomatology/problems/greater degree of symptoms. Negative change from Baseline indicated deterioration in QOL and positive change from Baseline indicated an improvement in QOL.

Hide Description EQ-5D-3L is a descriptive system of health-related quality of life states consisting of 5 dimensions/domains (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression) and each of which has 3 levels of severity (no problems [scored as 1], some or moderate problems [scored as 2], and extreme problems [scored as 3]). Percentage of participants with each of the following responses in mobility domain was reported: I have no problems in walking about; I have some problems in walking about; and I am confined to bed. Response percentages may not add up to 100% due to data rounding.

Title Percentage of Participants With Response for EQ-5D-3L Questionnaire: Pain/Discomfort Domain
Hide Description EQ-5D-3L is a descriptive system of health-related quality of life states consisting of 5 dimensions/domains (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression) and each of which has 3 levels of severity (no problems [scored as 1], some or moderate problems [scored as 2], and extreme problems [scored as 3]). Percentage of participants with each of the following responses in pain/discomfort domain was reported: I have no pain or discomfort; I have moderate pain or discomfort; and I have extreme pain or discomfort. Response percentages may not add up to 100% due to data rounding.
