Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of SYSA1901 vs. Perjeta® of HER2-Positive Breast Cancer

This is a phase Ⅲ, double-blind, randomized, parallel-controlled, multicenter equivalence study to compare the efficacy and safety of SYSA1901 + trastuzumab + docetaxel vs. Perjeta® + trastuzumab + docetaxel in the participants with early-stage or locally advanced HER2-positive and HR-negative breast cancer with a primary tumor \> 2 cm.

This is a phase Ⅲ, double-blind, randomized, parallel-controlled, multicenter equivalence study to compare the efficacy and safety of SYSA1901 + trastuzumab + docetaxel vs. Perjeta® + trastuzumab + docetaxel in the patients with early-stage or locally advanced HER2-positive and HR-negative breast cancer with a primary tumor \> 2 cm. The eligible patients will be randomized to treatment group (SYSA1901 + Trastuzumab + Docetaxel) or control group (Perjeta® + Trastuzumab + Docetaxel) at 1:1 ratio. The stratification factor is disease category (early-stage vs. locally advanced).

The primary endpoint is total pCR (tpCR). Secondary efficacy endpoints include breast pCR (bpCR), objective response rate (ORR)，pharmacokinetic (PK) and immunogenicity.

10. History of drug abuse, or alcoholism, drug addicts;
11. History of neurological or psychiatric disorders and poor compliance, such as epilepsy and dementia;
