T-A and N-A or T-A and N-B responses were defined as PCR and all other tumor responses as non-responders. Participants with missing values were considered as non-responders.

Following resective surgery, participants were evaluated for complete resection (R0) or the presence of microscopic (R1) or macroscopic (R2) residual tumor. The percentage of participants within each residual tumor classification was calculated as \[number of participants with R0, R1, and/or R2 divided by the total number of participants\] multiplied by 100. Associated 95% confidence intervals were calculated for one-sample binomial using the Clopper-Pearson method.

Diagnosis of Progressive Disease was made by objective criteria (RECIST criteria) on the target lesion(s), or by documenting, with Computerised Tomography/Magnetic Resonance Imaging (CT/MRI) scans, the presence of newly occurring lesion(s) arising outside the scanned areas of the target lesions. PD required at least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions.

The median time, in weeks, from randomization to PFS event. Participants were censored at the date of last post-BL tumor assessment where non-progression was documented. If no post-BL tumor assessment was available, the participant was censored at date of randomization. PFS was estimated using Kaplan-Meier methodology.

The percentage of participants with pCR was determined by anatomopathological study after completion of 8 cycles of study treatment. The anatomopathological study of the surgical piece was performed and assessed according to the Miller-Payne criteria: 1) the primary tumor was Grade 5 (no malignant cells identified at the location of the primary tumor (ductal carcinoma in situ may be present); 2) no involvement was identified in the lymph nodes; 3) the tumour size at evaluation of the surgical piece was 0 centimeters (cm); and 4) the pathological staging of the tumour from the surgical piece was pT0pN0pM0, the stage is not applicable (NA). It will only be considered pCR in the case of absence of invasive tumour cells in the breast and lymph nodes.

Tumor sterilization was defined as the absence of residual tumor cells in the resected specimen including lymph nodes (ypT0-N0). The rate of sterilization of the tumoral specimen was assessed after surgery on the surgical specimen by local review. Analyses were performed for participants who have been operated as defined by the protocol (within the study and TME technique) and for all participants who have been operated. Reported is the percentage of participants with tumor sterilization.

PFS is defined as the interval between the date of start of treatment and the date of evaluation by the investigator of progressive disease or death from any cause. The progression was assessed according to RECIST using medical imaging during the treatment period and by the investigators (confirmed by medical imaging) during the follow-up period. Data for participants who were lost to follow-up were censored at the date of last evaluation without progression. Data for participants who completed the study without an event of disease progression or death were censored at the date of the last visit or follow-up without progression.

The percentage of participants with an objective response, defined as achieving CR or PR, as evaluated by the Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria. CR: disappearance of all clinical and radiological evidence of tumor (both target and non-target), PR: at least a 30 percent (%) decrease in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions taking as reference the baseline sum LD.

The percentage of participants with an objective response of CR, PR, or SD, as evaluated by RECIST criteria. CR: disappearance of all clinical and radiological evidence of tumor (both target and non-target), PR: at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the LD of target lesions taking as reference the baseline sum LD. SD: steady state of disease. Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for pregressive disease (PD). The clinical benefit was finally assessed by computing absolute frequencies and percentages participants with best overall tumor response equal to CR, PR, or SD.

Tumor assessments were performed using RECIST. CR was defined as disappearance of all target and non-target lesions with normalization of tumor markers. PR was defined as greater than or equal to (≥) 30 percent (%) decrease in sum of longest diameter (LD) of target lesions in reference to sum of LD at Baseline. Both were to be confirmed at a follow-up visit at least 4 weeks from the initial assessment of CR or PR. The percentage of participants with a best overall response of CR or PR during the study was reported.

The percentage of participants with symptomatic NCI CTCAE Grade ≥ 2 CNS hemorrhage, defined as the presence of clinical symptoms determined by the investigator to be directly referable to a Grade ≥ 2 CNS hemorrhage. Grade 1: Asymptomatic, radiographic findings only Grade 2: Medical intervention indicated Grade 3: Ventriculostomy, intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring, intraventricular thrombolysis, or operative intervention indicated Grade 4: Life-threatening consequences; neurologic deficit or disability Grade 5: Death

Percentage of participants with OR was defined as the percentage of participants who achieved complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST). CR was defined as disappearance of all target lesions, non-target lesions, and normalization of tumor marker level. PR was defined as greater than or equal to (≥)30 percent (%) decrease under baseline of the sum of the longest diameter (LD) diameters of all target lesions. No unequivocal progression of non-target disease. No new lesions. Complete and partial responses must have been confirmed no less than 4 weeks after the criteria for response were first met.

Best response recorded from the start of treatment until disease progression. Based on assessment of CR, PR, stable disease (SD), or progressive disease (PD), according to RECIST. CR: disappearance of all target lesions, non-target lesions, and normalization of tumor marker level. PR: ≥30% decrease under baseline of the sum of the LD diameters of all target lesions. CR and PR persist on repeat imaging study at least 4 weeks after initial documentation. SD: neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD. Reference is the smallest sum LD. PD: at least a 20% increase in the sum of the LD of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum longest diameter recorded or the appearance of one or more new lesions.

To estimate the rate of National Cancer Institute Common Terminology for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE), Version 3.0, Grade ≥3 pulmonary hemorrhage adverse events. Per NCI CTCAE v.3: "Grade 3 = Transfusion, interventional radiology, endoscopic, or operative intervention indicated; radiation therapy (i.e., hemostasis of bleeding site); Grade 4 = Life-threatening consequences; major urgent intervention indicated; Grade 5 = Death."

TTP is defined as the time from date of randomization until objective tumor progression or death due to any cause. It includes deaths and thus can be correlated to overall survival.

ODC was defined as the percentage of participants with measurable disease at baseline who on assessment achieved complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or stable disease (SD) according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST). CR defined as disappearance of all target lesions, non-target lesions, and normalization of tumor marker level. PR was defined as greater than or equal to (≥) 30 percent (%) decrease under baseline of the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of all target lesions. SD defined as neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for progressive disease, taking as reference the smallest sum LD since start of treatment. CR and PR were confirmed no less than 4 weeks after the criteria for response were met.

The primary objective is to determine the Maximal Tolerated Dose (MTD) of the combination of bevacizumab and whole brain radiation therapy for patients with brain metastases

MTD for each of the medications was defined as the lowest dose studied which resulted in dose limiting toxicity (DLT) in at least 33 percent (%) of participants of the same quality category. DLT was defined as any greater than or equal to (\>=) Grade (G) 3 or G4 toxicity; \>= G3 non-hematological toxicities directly related to study treatment (other than untreated nausea/vomiting, alopecia, G3/G4 bilirubinemia for less than 7 days due to edema of the ductus choledochus and anemia); G4 thrombocytopenia, neutropenia lasting \>= 7 days or G3 thrombocytopenia with complications, requiring transfusions, febrile neutropenia; stopping of oral CAP and/or ERL intake for \>= 7 days, and/or cancellation of one or more BEV infusion(s) due to adverse events (AEs).

AUC0-infinity represents the area under the concentration-time curve of the analyte (5'-DFUR) in plasma over the time interval from 0 extrapolated to infinity. The analyte 5'-DFUR, the direct precursor of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), is considered to be the most important metabolite of capecitabine in plasma. The unit of measure was nanograms per millilitre per hour (ng/mL \* hr).

AUC0-infinity represents the area under the concentration-time curve of the analyte (free platinum) in plasma over the time interval from 0 extrapolated to infinity. AUC0-inf for free platinum was calculated for each participant from the concentration-data obtained on Days 2 to 5 of Cycle 1, and Days 1 to 4 for Cycle 2 and 3. Free platinum is not bound to plasma proteins and is considered to be the most clinically significant measure of pharmacological and toxicological activity.
