This retrospective pooled analysis aims to identify factors predicting relapse despite a pathologic complete response (pCR) in patients with breast cancer (BC). 2066 patients with a pCR from five neoadjuvant GBG/AGO-B trials fulfill the inclusion criteria of this analysis. Primary endpoint is disease-free survival (DFS); secondary endpoints is distant DFS (DDFS) and overall survival (OS). After a median follow-up of 57.6 months, DFS is significantly worse for patients with positive lymph nodes (cN+ vs cN0 hazard ratio [HR] 1.94, 95%CI 1.48-2.54; p < 0.001). In patients with triple-negative tumors, lobular histology (lobular vs other HR 3.55, 95%CI 1.53-8.23; p = 0.003), and clinical nodal involvement (cN+ vs cN0 HR 2.45, 95%CI 1.59-3.79; p < 0.001) predict a higher risk of DFS events. Patients with HER2-positive cT3/4 tumors have a significantly higher risk of relapse (cT3/4 vs cT1 HR 2.07, 95%CI 1.06-4.03; p = 0.033). Initial tumor load and histological type predict relapse in patients with a pCR.
