Brief Summary

Pathological complete remission (pCR) after neoadjuvant therapy in HER2-positive early breast cancer patients is closely related to disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS), which makes pCR an important evaluation indicator of recurrence risk. Trastuzumab combined with pertuzumab is a new standard targeted treatment regimen for HER2-positive early breast cancer. However, there are still quite a few patients who do not reach PCR. For these patients, current guidelines recommend the use of TDM-1 for intensive treatment after surgery, although a significant number of patients still have recurrence or metastasis. Besides, TDM-1 is unavailable in China. Pyrotinib has been approved for HER2-positive breast cancer patients who have previously failed after the treatment of trastuzumab. The investigators intend to conduct this phase II clinical study. Patients with poor response to the standard neoadjuvant treatment regimen of trastuzumab combined with pertuzumab are enrolled. These patients receive pyrotinib to observe that whether pCR has been improved. The investigators aim to explore the effect of pyrotinib in patients with poor response to standard dual-target neoadjuvant therapy, and further explore the improvement of neoadjuvant treatment strategy in HER2 positive early stage breast cancer patients.

Study Arms (1)

Pyrotinib

EXPERIMENTAL

Eligible patients will receive four cycles of epirubicin and cyclophosphamide combined with pyrotinib. Pyrotinib is administered orally at 400 mg daily from day 1 of the first cycle to day 21 of the fourth cycle or to the day of surgery, within 30 minutes after breakfast. Epirubicin (90 mg/m2), intravenously, every 21 days. Cyclophosphamide (600 mg/m2), intravenously, every 21 days.

Drug: Pyrotinib

Interventions

Pyrotinib is administered orally at 400 mg daily from day 1 of the first cycle to day 21 of the fourth cycle or to the day of surgery, within 30 minutes after breakfast. Epirubicin (90 mg/m2), intravenously, every 21 days. Cyclophosphamide (600 mg/m2), intravenously, every 21 days.

  • Inability to swallow, intestinal obstruction, or other factors that affect medication administration and absorption;
  • People with a known history of allergies to the drugs of this study; a history of immunodeficiency, including a positive HIV test, or other acquired or congenital immunodeficiency diseases, or a history of organ transplantation;
