Atezolizumab +ddAC-PacHPExperimentalParticipants will receive atezolizumab (atezo) 840 mg IV Q2W for 4 cycles during neoadjuvant phase with ddAC (doxorubicin 60 mg/m2 & cyclophosphamide 600 mg/m2 IV), followed by atezo 1200 mg IV Q3W for 4 cycles with paclitaxel 80 mg/m2 IV weekly for 12 continuous weeks, trastuzumab 6 mg/kg IV (with initial 8mg/kg IV loading dose) Q3W for 4 cycles, & pertuzumab 420 mg IV (with initial 840-mg IV loading dose) Q3W for 4 cycles. During adjuvant phase, participants will continue to receive following study treatments Q3W to complete up to 1 year HER2-target therapy inclusive of therapy given both in neoadjuvant and adjuvant setting: atezo 1200 mg IV Q3W, trastuzumab 6 mg/kg IV (with initial 8-mg/kg IV loading dose) Q3W, & pertuzumab 420 mg IV (with initial 840-mg IV loading dose) Q3W. Participants who do not achieve pCR have option of receiving blinded atezo+trastuzumab emtansine post surgery for 14 cycles. In response to USM DIL dated 3 Feb 2021 treatment with atezo must be discontinued.
