Timeframe: BL, Presurgery: Day 1 of Cycles 1-10

Population: FAS

Assessments were made based on objective tumor measurements of the lesions as recorded in the case report form. In inflammatory cancer, progressive disease (PD) was defined as progression of any of the 2 signs of breast edema and erythema. In non-inflammatory cancer, PD was concluded if either the investigator judged the participant as having progressed at any time prior to surgery, or there was at least a 20% increase in the sum of target lesions (TLs), any new lesion, or clear progression of any nontarget lesion (NTLs). Clear progression of any NTL was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of NTLs compared to BL. PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease from BL in the sum of the longest diameter of TLs. CR was defined as no PD as assessed by the investigator and complete disappearance of all lesions.
