The study authors conclude that based on their analysis, the primary endpoint was successfully met with significant improvement in pathologic complete response (37.5%, p1⁄40.025) and major pathologic response rate rates in the setting of an acceptable safety profile. They note that 3-year disease-free survival and overall survival will be reported later in the final study manuscript.
