Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Total Pathological Complete Response(tpCR)
It refers to the absence of any invasive cancer in the resected specimens (breast + axilla) after completion of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and surgery (i.e., ypT0/is, ypN0).
Approximately 6 months from first dose of study drug following surgery or early withdrawal, whichever occurred first (Surgery was performed within 6 weeks after neoadjuvant treatment)
Secondary Outcomes (5)
Overall Response Rate(ORR)
Approximately 6 months from first dose of study drug following surgery or early withdrawal, whichever occurred first (Surgery was performed within 6 weeks after neoadjuvant treatment)
Event-Free Survival (EFS)
Up to 3 years
Overall survival(OS)
Up to 3 years
Health Related Quality of Life (QoL)
From baseline to 30 days after completion of treatment or the last follow-up visit
Adverse Events
From first dose of study drug to 30 days after completion of treatment
Study Arms (1)
Oral Paclitaxel plus Subcutaneous Pertuzumab/Trastuzumab
EXPERIMENTALPaclitaxel oral solution plus subcutaneous fixed-dose combination of pertuzumab and trastuzumab
Interventions
Patients who meet the inclusion criteria will be enrolled and given paclitaxel oral solution and subcutaneous pertuzumab/trastuzumab for neoadjuvant treatment. Paclitaxel oral solution: 200mg/m2 po bid, D1,D8,D15, q3w. Subcutaneous pertuzumab/trastuzumab: 1200 mg pertuzumab plus 600 mg trastuzumab loading dose in 15 mL, followed by 600 mg pertuzumab plus 600 mg trastuzumab maintenance doses in 10 mL, q3w.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:

- Participation in another clinical trial of a drug or medical device within 4 weeks prior to the first dose and/or receipt of investigational drug/device during the trial.
- Major surgery within 28 days prior to the first dose or planned major surgery during the study period.
- History of other malignancies within the past 5 years, except for carcinoma in situ of the cervix, non-melanoma skin cancer, localized prostate cancer, or ductal carcinoma in situ.
- Active tuberculosis or other severe infectious diseases requiring systemic treatment, including but not limited to bacteremia, severe pneumonia, and other serious infections.
- History of immunodeficiency or autoimmune diseases, including but not limited to HIV infection (HIV antibody positive), systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, or history of organ transplantation.
- History of cardiovascular or cerebrovascular diseases, including:
- Unstable angina;
