Brief summary

This study evaluates HER2-PET/CT-guided dynamic optimization of neoadjuvant therapy in patients with early-stage HER2-positive breast cancer. Based on metabolic response after two cycles, patients receive either intenstified treatment (Arm A) or de-escalation treatment (Arm B), alongside with a concurrent standard-treatment control group (Arm C). The study aims to establish a response-adaptive, imaging-guided treatment paradigm to optimize neoadjuvant therapy in HER2-positive breast cancer.

Detailed description

This is a prospective, two-arm, interventional study. Eligible patients with early-stage HER2-positive breast cancer are enrolled into Arm A (TCbHP: trastuzumab, pertuzumab, docetaxel/nab-paclitaxel, and carboplatin) or Arm B (trastuzumab, pertuzumab, CDK4/6 inhibitor, and aromatase inhibitor), based on molecular subtype and patient preference. Patients in the control group (ArmC) will receive standard TCbHP therapy without intervention. All patients will undergo HER2-PET/CT imaging at baseline and after two cycles of treatment. Metabolic response, defined as a ≥40% reduction in SUVmax of target lesions, guides subsequent therapy: responders continue the initial regimen, while non-responders switch to an alternative strategy (ADC in Arm A or TCbHP in Arm B). The primary endpoint is the total pathological complete response (tpCR) rate in Arm A and ArmB.
