Brief Summary
The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Utidelone plus AC versus Docetaxel plus AC as neoadjuvant chemotherapy in high-risk HER2-negative early-stage or locally advanced breast cancer. In this phase III, multi-center, open-label, randomized controlled study, 552 subjects will be enrolled and randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either the Utidelone plus AC group or the docetaxel plus AC group, stratified by hormone receptor status (ER and/or PgR positive vs ER and PgR negative).

The treatment group-Utidelone in combination with AC
EXPERIMENTALUtidelone Injection at 30 mg/m2/d administered on days 1-5 of each cycle. Doxorubicin Injection at 50mg/m2 and Cyclophosphamide Injection at 500 mg/m2 administered once daily on day 1 of each cycle. One treatment cycle has 21 days, and there are 6 cycles in total.
The control group-Docetaxel in combination with AC
ACTIVE COMPARATORDocetaxel Injection at 75 mg/m2, Doxorubicin Injection at 50 mg/m2, and Cyclophosphamide Injection at 500mg/m2, administered on day 1 of each cycle. One cycle has 21 days, and there are 6 cycles in total.
Interventions
The treatment group will be treated with Utidelone Injection at 30 mg/m2/d administered intravenously once daily on days 1-5 of each cycle, and Doxorubicin Injection at 50mg/m2 and Cyclophosphamide Injection at 500 mg/m2, administered intravenously respectively once daily on day 1 of each cycle. One treatment cycle has 21 days, and there are 6 cycles in total. After the neoadjuvant therapy, all patients suitable for surgery will have the operation, and they will be evaluated pre-operatively for clinical remission according to RECIST 1.1. For patients unsuitable for surgery, they will receive other treatments according to the clinical practice at each site. Safety evaluation will be performed 28 days after the last dose, and patients will be followed up for at least 3 years for disease recurrence.

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Female patients who will receive initial treatment, 18 ≤ years of age ≤70.
- Pathologically confirmed HER2-negative breast cancer at each investigational site with IHC at 0 or 1+, or IHC at 2+ with HER2 being negative by ISH (please refer to the ASCO/CAP Guideline 2020 for the relevant definition).
- For patients with triple negative breast cancer, the requirement is tumor size\>2 cm or lymph node-positive (T1, N1-3, M0, T2-4, any N, M0; tumor stage: II or III).
- For patients with HR-positive and HER2-negative breast cancer, the requirement is (T2-4, N1-3, M0 or T2-4, N0 with high risk factors, M0):
- Tumor size\>2cm
- lymph node-positive or high-risk factor with pathologically negative lymph node. High risk factors include:
- A. histologic grade 3.
- B. high Ki67 expression (≥20%).
- Baseline routine blood tests within 1 week prior to enrollment is normal, with CTCAE grade ≤1 (based on normal values at each site's laboratory). No rhG-CSF use and no blood transfusion/EPO etc. within 14 days prior to enrollment.
- A. White blood cell count ≥ 4.0× 109/L;
- B. Neutrophil count ≥ 1.5 × 109/L;
- C. Platelet count ≥ 100 × 109/L;
- D. Hemoglobin ≥100 g/L.
- Blood biochemistry test result is normal within 1 week prior to enrollment, with CTCAE grade ≤1 (based on normal values at each site's laboratory).
- A. Total bilirubin ≤ upper limit of normal (ULN).
- +7 more criteria
You may not qualify if:
- Stage IV metastatic breast cancer.
- Inflammatory breast cancer.
- Bilateral primary breast cancer (including invasive cancer and carcinoma in situ).
- Patients who have previously received anti-tumor treatment or radiotherapy for any malignancy, excluding cured cervical carcinoma in situ, basal cell carcinoma of the skin and squamous cell carcinoma.
- Patients who receive any sex hormone therapy (e.g., birth control pills, hormone replacement therapy, etc.), or any hormonal drug (e.g., raloxifene, tamoxifen, or other selective estrogen receptor modulators) for osteoporosis or breast cancer prevention.
- Patients received major surgical operation unrelated to breast cancer within 4 weeks prior to randomization or having not yet fully recovered.
- Patients with symptomatic peripheral neuropathy with CTCAE 5.0 grade ≥ 2.
- Patients with severe cardiovascular diseases, including but not limited to:
- A. history of congestive heart failure or systolic dysfunction (LVEF \< 50%).
- B. angina requiring anti-anginal medication.
- C. high-risk uncontrolled arrhythmias or severe conduction abnormalities, such as ventricular arrhythmias requiring clinical intervention, second- to third-degree atrioventricular block, etc.; mean QTcF \>470ms in 3 12-lead ECGs tests at rest.
- D. clinically significant heart valve disease with impaired cardiac function.
- E. Clinically uncontrollable hypertension.
- F. History of myocardial infarction.
