Summary
The purpose of this trial is to evaluate Herceptin treatment for 1 year and 2 years (versus observation/no Herceptin) in women with HER2-overexpressing primary breast cancer who have completed (neo-)adjuvant systemic chemotherapy, definitive surgery, and radiotherapy, if applicable. Efficacy and safety will be assessed for 10 years from randomization for each participant. All participants will continue to be followed for survival until 10 years after enrollment of the last participant.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria

- Completion of at least 4 cycles of (neo-)adjuvant systemic chemotherapy, definitive surgery, and radiotherapy, if applicable
- Known hormone receptor status
- Baseline left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) greater than or equal to (≥) 55 percent (%)
Exclusion Criteria
- Prior invasive breast carcinoma
- Other malignancies except for curatively treated basal and squamous cell carcinoma of the skin or in situ carcinoma of the cervix
- Clinical T4 tumors
- Cumulative doxorubicin exposure greater than (>) 360 milligrams per meter-squared (mg/m^2) or epirubicin >720 mg/m^2 or any prior anthracyclines unrelated to the present breast cancer
- Peripheral stem cell or bone marrow stem cell support
- Prior mediastinal irradiation except for internal mammary node irradiation for the present breast cancer
- Non-irradiated internal mammary nodes or supraclavicular lymph node involvement
- Prior anti-HER2 therapy for any other reason or other prior biologic or immunotherapy for breast cancer
- Concurrent anti-cancer treatment in another investigational trial
- Serious cardiac or pulmonary conditions/illness, or any other conditions that could interfere with planned treatment
- Poor hematologic, hepatic, or renal function
- Pregnancy or lactation
- Women of childbearing potential or less than 1 year post-menopause unwilling to use adequate contraceptive measures
