Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures

tpCR is defined as the absence of any residual invasive cancer on hematoxylin and eosin evaluation of the resected breast specimen and all sampled ipsilateral lymph nodes after completion of neoadjuvant therapy and surgery (that is, ypT0/is, ypN0, in accordance with the current American Joint Committee on Cancer [AJCC] staging system).The duration of one treatment cycle is 21 days.
Secondary Outcome Measures
Percentage of Participants With Breast Pathologic Complete Response (bpCR)
bpCR is defined as the absence of any residual invasive cancer on the hematoxylin and eosin evaluation of the resected breast specimen after completion of neoadjuvant therapy and surgery (that is, ypT0/is, in accordance with current AJCC staging system).The duration of one treatment cycle is 21 days.
Clinical response
Percentage of Participants With Complete Response, Partial Response, Stable Disease, or Progressive Disease During Cycles 1-4, According to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Version 1.1. The duration of one treatment cycle is 21 days.
Event-free survival (EFS)
EFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first documentation of one of the following events: Disease progression (before surgery) as determined by the investigator with use of RECIST v1.1 Any evidence of contralateral disease in situ was not identified as progressive disease; Disease recurrence (local, regional, distant, or contralateral) after surgery; Death from any cause.
Disease-free survival (DFS)
DFS was defined as the time from first date of no disease (i.e., date of surgery) to first documentation of one of the following events: Disease recurrence (local, regional, distant, or contralateral) after surgery. Any evidence of contralateral disease in situ was not identified as disease recurrence; Death from any cause.
Overall survival (OS)
OS was defined as the time from randomization to death from any cause.

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pyrotinib in combination with nab-paclitaxel or trastuzumab with nab-paclitaxel as neoadjuvant therapy in early stage or locally advanced HER2-positive breast cancer.
Detailed Description
The study evaluate the pathological complete response rate, event-free survival, disease-free survival, overall survival and safety of pyrotinib in combination with nab-paclitaxel or trastuzumab with nab-paclitaxel as neoadjuvant therapy in early stage or locally advanced HER2-positive breast cancer. Patients will receive 4 cycles of pyrotinib in combination with nab-paclitaxel or 4 cycles of trastuzumab with nab-paclitaxel as neoadjuvant therapy, then undergo surgery, then receive 4 cycles of epirubicin in combination with cyclophosphamide, then complete 1 year of trastuzumab.
