Summary

This randomized study will assess the effect of adding bevacizumab to trastuzumab plus docetaxel in neoadjuvant therapy in participants with early stage human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer. After 2 cycles of trastuzumab and docetaxel once every 3 weeks, participants with a response (change in standard uptake value \[SUV\]) of less than (\<) 70 percent (%) on Positron Emission Tomography (PET) will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive Cycles 3 to 6 of trastuzumab (6 milligrams per kilogram \[mg/kg\]) and docetaxel (100 milligrams per square meter \[mg/m\^2\]) with or without bevacizumab (15 mg/kg). Participants with a response of greater than or equal to (\>/=) 70% will receive trastuzumab plus docetaxel in Cycles 3 to 6. All participants will receive trastuzumab alone in Cycle 7, and will undergo surgery (as per investigator's discretion) after Cycle 7 and between 4 and 6 weeks after the treatment perfusion of Cycle 6. After surgery, all participants will receive a further 11 cycles of trastuzumab plus radiotherapy (starting from 4-8 weeks after surgery during 4-6 weeks, according to site's standard practice) with or without hormonal therapy (mandatory if positive hormone receptors). Participants will be followed for up to 5 years from start of neoadjuvant treatment.

Conditions

Interventions

DRUG

Bevacizumab

Bevacizumab at a dose of 15 mg/kg will be administered as IV infusion over 90 minutes from Cycles 3-6 (1 Cycle=21 days).

DRUG

Docetaxel

Docetaxel at a dose of 100 mg/m\^2 will be administered as IV infusion from Cycles 1-6 (1 Cycle=21 days).

DRUG

Trastuzumab

Trastuzumab will be administered as a loading dose of 8 mg/kg as IV infusion in Cycle 1, followed by subsequent dose of 6 mg/kg as IV infusion in Cycles 2 to 7, and during additional 11 cycles post surgery (1 Cycle=21 days).

PROCEDURE

Surgery

All participants will undergo surgery (as per investigator's discretion) after Cycle 7 and between 4 and 6 weeks after the study treatment infusion in Cycle 6 (1 Cycle=21 days).

RADIATION

Radiotherapy

All participants will receive radiotherapy starting about 4 to 8 weeks after surgery, and will last around 4 to 6 weeks as per site's standard practice.

DRUG

Hormonal Therapy

Participants who are hormone receptors positive, will receive hormonal therapy after completion of radio therapy period as per investigator's discretion and site's standard practice.
