Brief summary
This is a randomized, open-label, superiority, multicenter clinical trial for patients with early or locally advanced (T≥2cm, N0-3, M0) HER2-positive breast cancer. It aims to compare the efficacy of neoadjuvant treatment with 2 cycles of Pyrotinib + Trastuzumab + Docetaxel followed by 2 cycles of Pertuzumab + Trastuzumab + Docetaxel versus 4 cycles of Pertuzumab + Trastuzumab + Docetaxel. Exploratory analyses of ctDNA clearance rate and MRI response will also be conducted.
Interventions
docetaxel ivgtt q3w, 80-100mg/m2
pyrotinib 320mg p.o. qd
trastuzumab ivgtt q3w, 8mg/kg for initiation, 6mg/kg for maintenance, or 600mg sc q3w
pertuzumab ivgtt q3w, 840mg for initiation, 420mg for maintenance

Currently enrolled in or previously participated in a study of an investigational drug and received investigational treatment or used an investigational device within 4 weeks before the first dose of study treatment (12 months for investigational drugs/devices with anti-cancer or anti-proliferative properties). 11. Vaccination with a live vaccine within 30 days before the first dose of the investigational drug. 12. Psychiatric illness or substance abuse history that could affect compliance with trial requirements. 13.
