Study Summary

A phase 2 open-label, randomized, multi-center trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant trastuzumab, pertuzumab and weekly paclitaxel (THP) as compared to neoadjuvant trastuzumab, pertuzumab, pembrolizumab and weekly paclitaxel (THP-pembrolizumab), or neoadjuvant trastuzumab, pembrolizumab and weekly paclitaxel (TH-pembrolizumab ) in chemo naive patients with invasive human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) positive breast cancer whose primary tumors are \> 2 cm and/or clinically lymph node positive. Treatment will be followed by standard of care breast surgery and physician's choice adjuvant therapy per standard of care.

Primary Outcome

Proportion of subjects without residual invasive cancer in the breast and axilla from randomization to definitive surgery. \- Residual invasive cancer defined based on hematoxylin and eosin evaluation of complete resected breast specimen and all sampled regional lymph nodes following completion of neoadjuvant systemic therapy by pathologist assessment.
