About this trial
This is a phase II, single-arm, prospective exploratory study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant dalpiciclib (a CDK4/6 inhibitor) plus an aromatase inhibitor (AI) followed by SHR-A1811 (an anti-HER2 antibody-drug conjugate) in patients with intermediate-to-high risk, hormone receptor-positive (HR+), HER2-low breast cancer. Patients will receive dalpiciclib (125 mg orally once daily, days 1-21, every 4 weeks) plus AI (anastrozole 1 mg, letrozole 2.5 mg, or exemestane 25 mg once daily) for 4 cycles, followed by SHR-A1811 (4.8 mg/kg intravenously every 3 weeks) for 4 cycles. The primary endpoint is objective response rate (ORR) per RECIST 1.1. Secondary endpoints include pathological complete response (pCR), breast-conserving surgery rate, event-free survival (EFS), change in Ki-67 index, and safety. A total of 20 participants will be enrolled.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Objective Response Rate (ORR)
Proportion of patients achieving complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) per RECIST 1.1
Secondary outcomes
Pathological Complete Response Rate (pCR): ypT0-is/ypN0
pCR is defined as absence of invasive carcinoma in the breast primary tumor (ypT0/is) and absence of tumor cells in axillary lymph nodes (ypN0) on pathological examination of the surgical specimen after neoadjuvant therapy. Presence of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) alone is allowed.
Breast-Conserving Surgery Rate
Proportion of participants who undergo breast-conserving surgery (BCS) after neoadjuvant therapy. BCS is defined as surgical resection of the primary tumor with negative margins while preserving the breast contour, as opposed to total mastectomy.
Event-Free Survival (EFS)
EFS is defined as the time from enrollment to the first occurrence of any of the following events: disease progression (local, regional, or distant) during neoadjuvant therapy, disease recurrence after surgery (local, regional, or distant), contralateral breast cancer, any secondary malignancy, or death from any cause. Participants without an event at the time of last follow-up are censored.
Ki-67 Index Change
Ki-67 index is measured by immunohistochemistry (IHC) as the percentage of tumor cells with positive nuclear staining. The scale is the Ki-67 proliferation index, which ranges from 0% (minimum) to 100% (maximum). Higher scores indicate a worse outcome (higher proliferative activity). The change is calculated as Ki-67 index at surgery minus Ki-67 index at baseline. A negative value (reduction) indicates a better outcome (decreased proliferation), while a positive value (increase) indicates a worse outcome.
