About this trial
This is a single-arm, prospective, multicenter, phase II clinical study evaluating the efficacy and safety of a chemotherapy-free neoadjuvant regimen in patients with HR-positive/HER2-positive (HR+/HER2+) early or locally advanced breast cancer.
Approximately 33 treatment-naive patients with stage II-III (AJCC 8th edition) HR+/HER2+ breast cancer will receive 5 cycles of neoadjuvant treatment with culmerciclib (a CDK4/6 inhibitor) plus letrozole, trastuzumab (TQB211) and pertuzumab (TQB2440), followed by definitive breast surgery.
The primary endpoint is breast pathological complete response rate (bpCR, ypT0/is ypN0). Secondary endpoints include objective response rate (ORR), residual cancer burden (RCB), Ki67 change rate, patient-reported outcomes, and safety assessed per CTCAE v5.0.

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Breast Pathological Complete Response Rate (bpCR)
Proportion of patients achieving ypT0/is ypN0 (no invasive cancer in the breast and no involved axillary lymph nodes), assessed by postoperative pathology.
Secondary outcomes
Objective Response Rate (ORR)
Proportion of patients achieving complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) assessed by imaging according to RECIST 1.1.
Residual Cancer Burden (RCB)
Residual cancer burden index and class (RCB-0, I, II, III) assessed by postoperative pathology.
Ki67 Change Rate
Change in Ki67 proliferation index from baseline (pre-treatment biopsy) to surgery.
Patient-Reported Outcomes (PRO)
Patient-reported quality of life and symptom measures collected during treatment.
