Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Arm A: Placebo + Trastuzumab + Docetaxel

Placebo matched to pertuzumab, trastuzumab (8-milligrams per kilogram \[mg/kg\] loading dose for Cycle 1, followed by 6 mg/kg for subsequent cycles), and docetaxel (75-milligrams per square meter \[mg/m\^2\]) were administered by intravenous (IV) infusion every 3 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
