NOTE. The BCIRG-006 study compared two different experimental trastuzumab plus chemotherapy regimens with chemotherapy alone. The control chemotherapy alone arm (ACT) consisted of doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide followed by docetaxel. Patients in the first experimental arm of anthracycline-containing chemotherapy (ACTH) received the same chemotherapy with the addition of trastuzumab beginning with the first docetaxel. A second, nonanthracycline experimental arm (TCH) consisted of docetaxel plus carboplatin concurrently with trastuzumab.
