Region of Enrollment

Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) performed at baseline. PS described as 0=Fully active, able to carry on all pre-disease performance without restriction; 1=Restricted in physically strenuous activity but ambulatory and able to carry out work of a light or sedentary nature, e.g., light house work, office work; etc.

ECOG (Performance Status)

AJCC Breast cancer staging: Anatomic stage 0, IA or B, IIA or B, IIIA to C or IV. AJCC staging system provides strategy for grouping participants by prognosis, based on the extent of the tumor (T), the extent of spread to the lymph nodes (N), and the presence of metastasis (M). Once the T, N, and M are determined, they are combined , and an overall stage of 0, I, II, III, IV is assigned from least advanced to more advanced. Sometimes these stages are subdivided as well, using letters such as IIIA and IIIB.

Clinical Stage: American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) 2009

Pathologic complete response [pCR or RCB Class 0] defined as no residual invasive disease (malignant cells) in the breast or axillary lymph nodes as assessed at the time of surgery following completion of all protocol specified neoadjuvant chemotherapy, which is approximately 26 weeks following the start of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and surgery. the residual cancer burden (RCB) was estimated from routine pathologic sections of the primary breast tumor site and the regional lymph nodes. The calculated RCB index value is categorized as one of four RCB classes, RCB-0 to RCB-III where RCB-0 is best prognosis (no residual disease) to RCB-III a worst prognosis. The RCB score for participants was assessed following completion of all protocol specified therapy, 4 cycles of lapatinib and paclitaxel followed by 4 cycles of lapatinib plus FEC75 and surgery.

Number of Participants With pCR After Completion of All Protocol Specified Therapy & Surgery (Surgical Population)

Pathologic complete response (pCR) rate defined as number of participants out of total that had no residual invasive disease (malignant cells) in the breast or axillary lymph nodes as assessed at the time of surgery following completion of all protocol specified neoadjuvant chemotherapy, which is approximately 26 weeks following the start of neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Rate of Pathologic Complete Response (pCR) Following Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy
