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.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

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.

Time frame
At time of surgery, after completion of 5 cycles of neoadjuvant therapy (approximately 5 months from treatment start)

Secondary outcomes

1

Objective Response Rate (ORR)

Proportion of patients achieving complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) assessed by imaging according to RECIST 1.1.

Time frame
At end of neoadjuvant treatment (approximately 5 months from treatment start)
2

Residual Cancer Burden (RCB)

Residual cancer burden index and class (RCB-0, I, II, III) assessed by postoperative pathology.

Time frame
At time of surgery (approximately 5 months from treatment start)
3

Ki67 Change Rate

Change in Ki67 proliferation index from baseline (pre-treatment biopsy) to surgery.

Time frame
From baseline to surgery (approximately 5 months)
4

Patient-Reported Outcomes (PRO)

Patient-reported quality of life and symptom measures collected during treatment.

Time frame
From baseline through end of treatment (approximately 5 months)
