Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>- Pathologic response-rate (increase in 90-100% tumor-cell loss) and/or<br /><br>pathological complete response (pCR) scored on the surgical tumor resection<br /><br>material.<br /><br>- objective response rate (ORR) assessed by MRI according to Response<br /><br>Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST)1.1 criteria performed at baseline,<br /><br>after 4 ddAC cycles and at the end of chemotherapy.</p><br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>- 3 and 5 year Event free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS)<br /><br>- Adverse events >=grade 3 (maximum total) difference between treatment arms<br /><br>during ddAC, T and total duration of neoadjuvant chemotherapy.<br /><br>- QoL assessed using validated online questionnaires at T0, T1, T2 and T3.<br /><br>- Cognition assessed by the Amsterdam Cognition Scan (ACS) at T0, T2 and T3.<br /><br>This is a validated online cognitive test battery that can be completed at home.<br /><br>- Local immunomodulation and tumor immunity by analyzing the immune-composition<br /><br>and gene-expression profile using exploratory immune analyses, including<br /><br>multispectral imaging (e.g. Vectra) and transcriptomics using Nanostring in<br /><br>tumor samples taken at baseline (diagnostic), after 4 cycles and resection<br /><br>specimen. </p><br>
