Participants will receive docetaxel in line with locally approved Prescribing Information. After Cycle 6 (cycle length = 21 days), continuation of docetaxel treatment will be at the discretion of the investigator. Docetaxel will be administered after pertuzumab and trastuzumab.
Participants will receive pertuzumab at an initial dose of 840 milligrams (mg) as a 60-minute intravenous infusion on Cycle 1 Day 1 (cycle length = 21 days), followed by every 3 weeks at a dose of 420 mg as a 30 to 60-minute intravenous infusion until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent or death, whichever occurs first.
Participants will receive trastuzumab at an initial dose of 8 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) as a 90-minute intravenous infusion on Cycle 1 Day 1 (cycle length = 21 days), followed by every 3 weeks at a dose of 6 mg/kg as a 30 to 90-minute intravenous infusion until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent or death, whichever occurs first.

Overall Number of Participants by the Number of Serious Adverse Events Reported Per Participant
The number of participants with serious adverse events was counted in the four following categories for number of events reported per participant: greater than or equal to (≥) 1, 1, greater than (\>) 1, or 0 serious adverse events. Participants with multiple occurrences of events (the ≥1 and \>1 serious adverse event categories) were only counted once per category.

Overall Number of Participants With Serious Adverse Events by Severity (Initial and Most Extreme), According to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Version 4.03 (NCI CTCAE v4.03)
The number of participants with serious adverse events was counted by the initial and most extreme levels of severity of the adverse event, assessed as Grades 1-5 according to NCI CTCAE v4.03. Any adverse event not specifically listed in NCI CTCAE v4.03 was assessed according to the following grades of severity: Grade 1 is mild; Grade 2 is moderate; Grade 3 is severe or medically significant; Grade 4 is life-threatening or urgent intervention indicated; and Grade 5 is death related to adverse event. The terms "severe" and "serious" are not synonymous. Severity refers to the intensity of an adverse event. The seriousness of an adverse event is based on whether it meets any of the criteria set out in the protocol's definition of a serious adverse event. Severity and seriousness were independently assessed for each adverse event. Participants with multiple occurrences of serious adverse events of the same severity were only counted once per severity category.
Time frame: From Baseline until end of study (up to approximately 3 years)
Number of Participants With Serious Adverse Events Related to Docetaxel
The number of participants with serious adverse events was counted for any serious adverse event that was related to study treatment with docetaxel, in the investigator's judgment. Adverse events (AEs) were encoded according to the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) version 21.1. More than one serious adverse event may have been reported per participant. Participants with multiple occurrences of the same serious adverse event were only counted once per preferred term.
