Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

Pyrotinib

Arm Description

Eligible patients will receive four cycles of epirubicin and cyclophosphamide combined with pyrotinib. Pyrotinib is administered orally at 400 mg daily from day 1 of the first cycle to day 21 of the fourth cycle or to the day of surgery, within 30 minutes after breakfast. Epirubicin (90 mg/m2), intravenously, every 21 days. Cyclophosphamide (600 mg/m2), intravenously, every 21 days.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

tpCR
the absence of invasive neoplastic cells at microscopic examination of the primary tumor and no pathological involvement of ipsilateral axillary lymph nodes at surgery

Secondary Outcome Measures

Objective response rate (ORR)
Defined as the proportion of best overall response of either complete or partial response.
Disease free survival (DFS)
Defined as the time from the date of surgery to the date of recurrence/metastasis or the date of death.
3-year rate of disease-free survival
Defined as rate of 3-year disease-free survival
Event-free survival (EFS)
Defined as the time from the date of surgery to the date of recurrence/metastasis.
Number of Participants with Adverse Events
Defined as number of participants with adverse events related to the treatment
The quality of life
Using EORTC (European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer) QLQ-BR23 scale. The minimum and maximum values are 0 and 100, respectively. Higher scores mean better outcome.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Pathological complete remission (pCR) after neoadjuvant therapy in HER2-positive early breast cancer patients is closely related to disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS), which makes pCR an important evaluation indicator of recurrence risk. Trastuzumab combined with pertuzumab is a new standard targeted treatment regimen for HER2-positive early breast cancer. However, there are still quite a few patients who do not reach PCR. For these patients, current guidelines recommend the use of TDM-1 for intensive treatment after surgery, although a significant number of patients still have recurrence or metastasis. Besides, TDM-1 is unavailable in China. Pyrotinib has been approved for HER2-positive breast cancer patients who have previously failed after the treatment of trastuzumab. The investigators intend to conduct this phase II clinical study. Patients with poor response to the standard neoadjuvant treatment regimen of trastuzumab combined with pertuzumab are enrolled. These patients receive pyrotinib to observe that whether pCR has been improved. The investigators aim to explore the effect of pyrotinib in patients with poor response to standard dual-target neoadjuvant therapy, and further explore the improvement of neoadjuvant treatment strategy in HER2 positive early stage breast cancer patients.
Detailed Description
Breast cancer is the most common malignant tumor in Chinese women, with 20% to 30% HER2 overexpression. Pathological complete remission (pCR) after neoadjuvant therapy in HER2-positive early stage breast cancer patients is closely related to disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS), which makes pCR an important evaluation indicator of recurrence risk. Trastuzumab combined with pertuzumab is a new standard targeted treatment regimen for HER2-positive early breast cancer, with overall pCR rate of 57% to 66%. However, there are still quite a few patients who do not reach PCR after treatment in clinical practice. For patients who do not reach pCR with neoadjuvant therapy, current guidelines recommend the use of TDM-1 for intensive treatment after surgery, but even with TDM-1, a significant number of patients still have recurrence or metastasis. Besides, TDM-1 is currently unavailable in China. Pyrotinib has been approved for HER2-positive breast cancer patients who have previously failed after the treatment of trastuzumab. The investigators intend to conduct this single-arm, single-center phase II clinical study. Patients with poor response to the standard neoadjuvant treatment regimen of trastuzumab combined with pertuzumab are enrolled. These patients receive pyrotinib to observe that whether pCR has been improved after the replacement of targeted treatment regimen. The investigators aim to explore the effect of pyrotinib in patients with poor response to standard dual-target neoadjuvant therapy, and further explore the improvement of neoadjuvant treatment strategy in HER2 positive early stage breast cancer patients.
