Exclusion Criteria

  • Prior systemic therapy for indexed breast cancer.
  • Indeterminate or negative HER2 status.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Number of Participants With Pathologic Complete Response (pCR)

Time Frame: Completion of 4 cycles of treatment (approximately 16 weeks)

A pathologic complete response (pCR) is defined as no histology evidence of invasive tumor cells in the surgical breast specimen and sentinel or axillary lymph nodes.

Secondary Outcomes

  • Safety and Tolerability of Palbociclib in Combination With Neoadjuvant Letrozole and Trastuzumab (or FDA Approved Biosimilar) as Measured by Number of Participants With Grade 3 & 4 Adverse Events(30 days after completion of neoadjuvant therapy (approximately 21 weeks))
  • Change in Patient Reported Outcomes as Measured by NCI PRO-CTCAE(Baseline, cycle 2 day 1 (approximately 29 days), and end of cycle 4 (approximately 16 weeks))
