Overview

Patients with Stage II-III HER2-positive breast cancer will receive three cycles of treatment with Trastuzumab Deruxtecan (SHR-A1811) + Pertuzumab, followed by imaging assessment. If clinical complete response (cCR) or radiological complete response/near radiological complete response (rCR/near rCR) is achieved, they will continue to receive an additional three cycles of treatment with Trastuzumab Deruxtecan (SHR-A1811) + Pertuzumab, followed by surgery.

If cCR/rCR or near rCR is not achieved, the treatment will be switched to the THPy regimen (paclitaxel-based regimen + Trastuzumab + Pyrotinib) for three cycles.

  • Hematology: Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \> 1.5 × 109/L; Platelet count (PLT) \> 75 × 109/L; Hemoglobin (Hb) \> 90 g/L.
  • Blood Chemistry: Total bilirubin (TBIL) \< 1.5 × ULN; Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) \< 1.5 × ULN; Alkaline phosphatase \< 2.5 × ULN; Blood urea nitrogen/urea (BUN/UREA) and creatinine (Cr) \< 1.5 × ULN.
  • Cardiac Ultrasound: Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 55%.
  • 12-Lead ECG: Fridericia's method corrected QT interval (QTcF) \< 470 msec.
• Reproductive Status: For premenopausal women with potential fertility, a pregnancy test must be performed within 7 days before treatment initiation, with negative serum/urine pregnancy results.
• Patients must not be lactating and must use adequate barrier contraception throughout the treatment cycle and for 6 months after treatment completion.

Voluntary Participation: Voluntary participation in the study with signed informed consent, good compliance, and willingness to cooperate with visit schedules and research-related procedures.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Stage IV Breast Cancer: Patients with Stage IV breast cancer. Inflammatory Breast Cancer: Patients with inflammatory breast cancer. Prior Malignancy Treatment: Patients who have received prior anti-tumor therapy or radiotherapy for any malignancy, or have concurrent other malignancies, excluding cured cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, basal cell carcinoma, or squamous cell carcinoma.
• Concurrent Anti-Tumor Therapy: Patients currently participating in other clinical trials involving anti-tumor therapy, including but not limited to chemotherapy, endocrine therapy, biological therapy, bone modification therapy, or immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy.
• Recent Surgery: Patients who have undergone major surgery unrelated to breast cancer within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of the study drug, or have not fully recovered from such surgery.
• Serious Cardiac Disease: Patients with serious cardiac conditions, including but not limited to:
• History of heart failure or systolic dysfunction (LVEF \< 50%). Uncontrolled high-risk arrhythmia, such as atrial tachycardia, resting heart rate \> 100 bpm, significant ventricular arrhythmia, or advanced atrioventricular block (i.e., Mobitz II second-degree or third-degree atrioventricular block).
• Angina pectoris requiring medication.
• Clinically significant heart valve disease.
• ECG showing transmural myocardial infarction.
• Uncontrolled hypertension (after medication, systolic blood pressure \> 180 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure \> 100 mmHg).
• Uncontrolled Active Infection: Patients with uncontrolled active infection requiring treatment, or with a history of immunodeficiency, including HIV positivity, other acquired or congenital immunodeficiency diseases, or a history of organ transplantation.
• Allergy to Study Drugs: Patients with a known history of allergy to any component of the study drugs.
• Pregnant or Lactating Women: Pregnant or lactating women, women of childbearing potential with positive baseline pregnancy test, or those unwilling to use effective contraception during the trial period and for 6 months after the last dose of the study drug.
• Interstitial Lung Disease: Patients with known or suspected interstitial lung disease; those with other severe pulmonary diseases that may interfere with drug-related pulmonary toxicity detection or management within 3 months prior to the first dose, including but not limited to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, organizing pneumonia/obliterative bronchiolitis, pulmonary embolism, severe asthma, severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), restrictive/obstructive lung disease, or any pulmonary autoimmune or inflammatory disease such as rheumatoid arthritis, Sjögren's syndrome, or sarcoidosis; or those with a history of total pneumonectomy.
• Severe Concomitant Diseases: Patients with severe concomitant diseases or other conditions that may interfere with the planned treatment, or those deemed unsuitable for the study by the investigator for any other reason.
