Brief summary: The purpose of this study was to explore the efficacy and safety of initumab combined with pyrrotinib and chemotherapy for 4 cycles and 6 cycles of neoadjuvant therapy for HER2-positive breast cancer, and to explore the efficacy and safety of continued use of initumab combined with pyrrotinib in pCR patients.

This study adopted A prospective, randomized controlled, open-label design, and selected eligible subjects to be randomly divided into cohort A and Cohort B. Cohort A will receive initumab at initial load dose of 8mg/kg and maintenance dose of 6mg/kg intravenously on the first day of every three weeks for a total of 4 doses. Pyrrotinib 400mg orally once daily; Combined chemotherapy drugs (not limited, according to the actual clinical selection), a total of 4 cycles of administration. After surgery for breast cancer, initumab + pyrrotinib was selected as adjuvant therapy for pCR patients after surgery for 1 year (neoadjuvant therapy + adjuvant therapy for a total of 1 year, a total of 13 cycles of adjuvant therapy), and non-pCR patients were selected by doctors. Cohort B will receive initumab at initial load dose of 8mg/kg and maintenance dose of 6mg/kg intravenously on the first day of every three weeks. Pyrrotinib 400mg orally once daily; Combined chemotherapy drugs (not limited, according to the actual clinical selection), a total of 6 cycles of administration. After surgery for breast cancer, initumab + pyrrotinib was selected as adjuvant therapy for pCR patients after surgery for 1 year (neoadjuvant therapy + adjuvant therapy for a total of 1 year, and adjuvant therapy for a total of 11 cycles), and non-pCR patients were selected by doctors.
