Study arms

  • Experimental
    Trastuzumab+Pertuzumab+Chemotherapy

    Drug: Trastuzumab · Drug: Pertuzumab · Drug: Chemotherapy · Procedure: Excision of tumor/mastectomy

Interventions

  • DrugTrastuzumab

    Trastuzumab (8 mg/kg loading dose, followed by 6 mg/kg every 3 weeks)

    Also known as: QL1701 (A trastuzumab biosimilar produced by Qilu Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd)

  • DrugPertuzumab

    Pertuzumab (loading dose 840 mg, followed by 420 mg every 3 weeks)

    Also known as: QL1209 (A pertuzumab biosimilar produced by Qilu Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd)

  • DrugChemotherapy

    Chemotherapy chosen by the investigators.

  • ProcedureExcision of tumor/mastectomy

    Definitive breast cancer surgery (excision or mastectomy) marks the end of protocol mandated therapy.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Total pathological complete response (tpCR) rate

    The pathological complete response rate described as the absence of invasive tumor cells in the breast and ipsilateral axillary lymph nodes upon microscopic examination following

    Time frame: At surgery

Secondary outcomes

  1. Objective Response Rate (ORR)

    ORR defined as the percentage of participants with a confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1.

    Time frame: Before surgery

  2. Breast pathological complete response (bPCR) rate

    It is defined as no invasive tumor cells in the breast examined by microscopy after primary tumor resection (ypT0/is).

    Time frame: At surgery

  3. Number of participants with adverse events (AEs)

    Assessment of the toxicity profile of regimen according to the National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria version 5.0 (NCI CTCAE v 5.0).

    Time frame: Assessed every 2 cycles of neoadjuvant therapy prior to surgery, up to approximately 30 days after the last neoadjuvant treatment.

  4. Identification of HER2-Positive Breast Cancer Molecular Characterization and Subtypes.

    Tumor tissue samples are analyzed by gene expression analysis and genome sequencing to classify novel subtypes and compare the molecular characteristics with patients' clinical data.

    Time frame: Up to approximately 2 years from study enrollment
