Camrelizumab+Chemotherapy	Cyclophosphamide	Participants receive Camrelizumab d1,15 (Q2W) + nab-paclitaxel d1,8,15(QW 3/4) x 4 cycles, followed by Camrelizumab Q2W + epirubicin + cyclophosphamide Q2W x 4 cycles as neoadjuvant therapy prior to surgery
Camrelizumab+Chemotherapy	Camrelizumab	Participants receive Camrelizumab d1,15 (Q2W) + nab-paclitaxel d1,8,15(QW 3/4) x 4 cycles, followed by Camrelizumab Q2W + epirubicin + cyclophosphamide Q2W x 4 cycles as neoadjuvant therapy prior to surgery
Camrelizumab+Chemotherapy	Epirubicin	Participants receive Camrelizumab d1,15 (Q2W) + nab-paclitaxel d1,8,15(QW 3/4) x 4 cycles, followed by Camrelizumab Q2W + epirubicin + cyclophosphamide Q2W x 4 cycles as neoadjuvant therapy prior to surgery

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 27-30 weeks	pCR rate (ypT0/Tis 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
Objective Overall Response Rate (ORR)	Up to approximately 25-30 weeks	ORR was defined as percentage of participants with best (confirmed) overall response (BOR) of either CR or PR. ORR was assessed by the investigator according to RECIST version 1.1 and is based on BOR, which is defined as best response recorded from start of study treatment until definitive surgery or disease progression.
Adverse events (AEs)	Up to approximately 35 weeks	AEs were graded according to the National Cancer Institute's Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0.; In general, AEs are graded according to the following: Grade 1 Mild AE Grade 2 Moderate AE Grade 3 Severe AE Grade 4 Life-threatening or disabling AE Grade 5 Death related to AE.; The type, grade and frequency of AEs will be reported.
pCR rate using the definition of ypT0/Tis (i.e., absence of invasive cancer in the breast irrespective of ductal carcinoma in situ or nodal involvement) at the time of definitive surgery	Up to approximately 27-30 weeks	pCR rate (ypT0/Tis) is defined as the percentage of participants without invasive cancer in the breast irrespective of ductal carcinoma in situ or nodal involvement 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
Event-Free Survival (EFS) in all participants	Up to approximately 5 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.
