About this trial
This is a randomized, open-label, superiority, multicenter clinical trial for patients with early or locally advanced (T≥2cm, N0-3, M0) HER2-positive breast cancer. It aims to compare the efficacy of neoadjuvant treatment with 2 cycles of Pyrotinib + Trastuzumab + Docetaxel followed by 2 cycles of Pertuzumab + Trastuzumab + Docetaxel versus 4 cycles of Pertuzumab + Trastuzumab + Docetaxel. Exploratory analyses of ctDNA clearance rate and MRI response will also be conducted.
