“Trastuzumab” refers to PF-05280014 or trastuzumab-EU.

ALT alanine aminotransferase, MedDRA Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities, TEAE treatment-emergent adverse event, trastuzumab-EU reference trastuzumab sourced from the European Union

aTEAE was defined as any event that occurred on or after the first dose of study treatment administration or any pre-existing event that worsened in severity after dosing. TEAE was defined through last dose of trastuzumab + 70 days. For number of TEAEs, the event of “infusion-related reaction” was counted; however, the number of associated signs and symptoms of infusion-related reactions was counted separately (data not presented)

bSerious TEAE determined by investigator’s assessment of serious

cTEAEs presented in descending order of frequency based on incidence in the total safety population. Patients are only counted once per treatment for each row. MedDRA (v19.1) coding dictionary applied
