Detailed Description

A Multicenter, Randomized, Open, Phase III，The study is being conducted to assess the efficacy and safety of anthracycline-containing ddEC-THP intensive regimen and an anthracycline-free TCbHP neoadjuvant therapy for HER2-positive breast cancer,Subjects will be treated until disease progression, toxicity is intolerable, informed consent is withdrawn, and investigators determine that medication must be discontinued. Drug efficacy and safety data will be collected.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
TCbHP	TCbHP VS ddEC-THP	Experimental group (TCbHP) : Taxotere (75mg/m2) + Carboplatin (AUC=5) Trastuzumab 6mg/kg(initial dose 8mg/kg) Pertuzumab 420mg(initial dose 840mg) 1/21d times 6 cycle
ddEC-THP	TCbHP VS ddEC-THP	Epirubicin (90mg/m2)+ cyclophosphamide (600mg/m2) 1/14d×4 cycle Taxol (80mg/m2) 1/7d x 12w Trastuzumab 6mg/kg(initial dose 8mg/kg) 1/21d ×4 cycles Pertuzumab 420mg(initial dose 840mg) 1/21d x 4 cycles

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
pCR rate using the definition of ypT0/Tis ypN0 (i.e., no invasive residual in breast or nodes; noninvasive breast residuals allowed) at the time of definitive surgery	Up to approximately 24 weeks	pCR rate (ypT0/is，ypN0) is defined as the percentage of participants without residual invasive tumor on hematoxylin and eosin evaluation of breast specimen and all sampled regional lymph nodes following completion of neoadjuvant systemic therapy by current AJCC staging criteria assessed by the local pathologist at the time of definitive surgery in all participants.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Invasive Disease-Free Survival (iDFS)	Up to approximately 3 years	iDFS events are defined as follows: (1)Ipsilateral invasive breast tumor recurrence. (2) Ipsilateral local-regional invasive breast cancer recurrence. (3) Ipsilateral second primary invasive breast cancer. (4) Contralateral invasive breast cancer. (5) Distant recurrence. (6) Death attributable to any cause.
Overall survival (OS)	Up to approximately 3 years	OS is defined as the time from randomization to death due to any cause. Participants without documented death at the time of the analysis will be censored at the date of the last follow-up.
Event-Free Survival (EFS)	Up to approximately 3 years	EFS is defined as the time from start of study treatment to any of the following events: progression of disease that precludes surgery, local or distant recurrence, second primary malignancy (breast or other cancers) or death due to any cause.
