ER(+) and/or PR(+) by IHC (? 10% staining or Allred score ? 4)
Eligible tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) stages include:\r\n* Estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) negative (defined as < 1% staining for ER and PR by IHC): T2 or T3 N0, T0-3N1-3\r\n** Note: Patients with T1, N1mi disease are NOT eligible\r\n* ER and/or PR positive (defined as >= 1% staining for ER and/or PR on IHC): T0-3N1-3 or T3N0\r\n** Note: Patients with T0N0, T1N0 and T1, N1mi disease are NOT eligible\r\n* ER and/or PR positive (defined as >= 1% staining for ER and/or PR on IHC): T0-3N1-3 or T3N0\r\n** Note: Patients with T0N0, T1N0, T2N0 and T1-2, N1mi disease are NOT eligible\r\n* The eligibility of neo-adjuvant subjects can be assessed on the basis of clinical (c)TNM or pathologic (yp)TNM; the same eligible TNM combinations apply; patients may be eligible if they meet eligibility requirements at either time point, as long as they do not have T4 disease prior to therapy
Invasive breast cancer is estrogen receptor (ER) positive with an Allred score of 6, 7 or 8 by local institution standard protocol; if an Allred score is not reported on the diagnostic pathology report, ER positivity in > 66% cells is eligible; if ER positivity is =< 66%, the staining intensity (weak, intermediate, strong) is needed to calculate the Allred score to determine eligibility
Tumor ER Allred score between 0-5 or HER2 positive by IHC (3+) or amplified by FISH > 2.0
Patients must have histologically confirmed estrogen receptor (ER)-, progesterone receptor (PR)- and HER2-negative (triple-negative, TNBC) or ER, PR, and HER2 equivocal status and must not have received and not be planning to receive adjuvant anti-HER2 or endocrine therapies after completion of neoadjuvant chemotherapy; patients who are HER2 positive by American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) College of American Pathologists (CAP) guidelines are ineligible; HER2 negative and HER2 equivocal cases as per ASCO CAP guidelines that do not receive HER2-targeted therapy are eligible; patients with weekly ER or PR positive disease, defined as ER and/or PR < 5% by immunohistochemistry, are eligible if the treating physician considers the patient not eligible for adjuvant endocrine therapy; residual disease must be >= 1 cm in greatest dimension, and/or have positive lymph nodes (ypN+) observed on pathologic exam\r\n* NOTE: Immunohistochemistry (IHC)-positive isolated tumor cells in the lymph node (N0 [i+]) are not considered node-positive and these patients also must have >= 1 cm residual invasive cancer in the breast in order to be eligible
Patients with multicentric and/or multifocal and/or bilateral early invasive breast cancer are eligible if all histopathologically examined tumors meet pathologic criteria for ER+ and/or PR+ and HER2-.
SAFETY RUN-IN: Patients with hormone-receptor positive breast cancer (ER and/or PR > 5%), and with HER-2 positive breast cancer (by means of immunohistochemistry with 3+ indicating positive status or fluorescence in situ hybridization with amplification ratio >= 2.0 indicating positive status)
RANDOMIZED PHASE II CLINICAL TRIAL: Patients with hormone-receptor positive breast cancer (ER and/or PR > 5%), and with HER-2 positive breast cancer (by means of immunohistochemistry with 3+ indicating positive status or fluorescence in situ hybridization with amplification ratio >= 2.0 indicating positive status)
Evidence of hormone sensitive, ER rich primary tumor defined by an Allred score of >= 6
Local testing on the diagnostic core must have determined the tumor to be ER-negative, PgR-negative, and HER2-negative by current ASCO/CAP guidelines. (If local testing has determined a tumor to be HER2 equivocal or to have a borderline ER/PgR status (% IHC staining < 10% for both) and other eligibility criteria are met, material may be submitted for central testing to determine eligibility.)
Central testing for ER, PgR, and HER2 will be performed, and the tumor must be determined to be ER-negative, PgR-negative, and HER2-negative by current ASCO/CAP Guidelines Recommendations. Material from either the diagnostic core biopsy or the research biopsy can be used for central testing depending on local preferences and standards.
Patients with synchronous bilateral or multicentric HER2-negative breast cancer are eligible as long as the highest risk tumor is ER-negative and PgR-negative and meets stage eligibility criteria. All of the other invasive tumors must also be HER2-negative by ASCO/CAP Guidelines based on local testing. Central testing to confirm TNBC status is only required for the highest risk tumor.

National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines recommend for metastatic breast cancer “…biopsy documentation of first recurrence, if possible, and determination of hormone receptor status (estrogen receptor [ER] and progesterone receptor [PR]) and HER2 status….”; therefore, histologic and/or cytologic confirmation of metastatic disease is encouraged whenever feasible, but not required; in some circumstances, histologic confirmation may not be feasible (eg, bone metastases not amenable to biopsy and elevated cancer antigen [CA]27-29 tumor marker); for patients who have had histologic confirmation of metastatic disease, it is required that the biopsy confirm that the metastatic tumor is ER and/or PR positive, and HER2/neu negative; for patients in whom biopsy confirmation of metastatic disease is not feasible, it is required that the primary tumor be ER and/or PR-positive and HER2/neu negative

In case of bilateral breast cancer hormonreceptor positivity and HER2-normal status has to be centrally confirmed for both sides.
