About this study

Official title: Efficacy and Safety of Pyrotinib and Trastuzumab Combined With Pegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin Hydrochloride and Cyclophosphamide Followed by Paclitaxel for Injection Albumin Bound as Neoadjuvant Therapy for Early HER2-Positive Breast Cancer

This is a single-arm, multicenter clinical study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pyrotinib and trastuzumab combined with pegylated liposomal doxorubicin hydrochloride and cyclophosphamide followed by paclitaxel for injection albumin bound as neoadjuvant therapy in patients with early HER2-positive breast cancer.

Eligible patients will receive 8 cycles of neoadjuvant treatment. Pyrotinib will be administered orally once daily, and trastuzumab will be administered intravenously every 3 weeks. During the first 4 cycles, patients will receive pegylated liposomal doxorubicin hydrochloride and cyclophosphamide. During the subsequent 4 cycles, patients will receive paclitaxel for injection albumin bound. The primary outcome is total pathological complete response rate. Secondary outcomes include breast pathological complete response rate, lymph node pathological complete response rate, objective response rate, event-free survival, distant disease-free survival, overall survival, and safety.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Total Pathological Complete Response Rate

    Total pathological complete response is defined as the absence of residual invasive cancer in both the breast and axillary lymph nodes after neoadjuvant therapy.

    Measured: At the time of surgery after completion of neoadjuvant therapy, approximately 24 weeks after treatment initiation

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Secondary Outcome Measure

    Breast pathological complete response is defined as the absence of residual invasive cancer in the breast after neoadjuvant therapy.

    Measured: At the time of surgery after completion of neoadjuvant therapy, approximately 24 weeks after treatment initiation

  2. Lymph Node Pathological Complete Response Rate

    Lymph node pathological complete response is defined as the absence of residual invasive cancer in axillary lymph nodes after neoadjuvant therapy.

    Measured: At the time of surgery after completion of neoadjuvant therapy, approximately 24 weeks after treatment initiation

  3. Objective Response Rate

    Objective response rate is defined as the proportion of participants who achieve complete response or partial response according to RECIST version 1.1 during neoadjuvant therapy.

    Measured: From baseline to completion of neoadjuvant therapy, approximately 24 weeks

  4. Event-Free Survival

    Event-free survival is defined as the time from enrollment to disease progression, recurrence, distant metastasis, second primary malignancy, or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.

    Measured: From enrollment to the first documented event or death, assessed up to 3 years

  5. Distant Disease-Free Survival

    Distant disease-free survival is defined as the time from enrollment to the first occurrence of distant metastasis or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.

    Measured: From enrollment to distant metastasis or death, assessed up to 3 years

  6. Overall Survival

    Overall survival is defined as the time from enrollment to death from any cause. Participants who are alive will be censored at the date of last follow-up.

    Measured: From enrollment to death from any cause, assessed up to 3 years

  7. Number of Participants With Adverse Events

    Safety will be assessed by the incidence and severity of adverse events, graded according to NCI CTCAE version 5.0.

    Measured: From the first dose of study treatment to 30 days after the last dose of neoadjuvant treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Pyrotinib Maleate, Trastuzumab (H, 8mg/kg and pegylated liposomal doxorubicin hydrochloride in people with HER2-positive Breast Cancer, run by Hebei Medical University Fourth Hospital at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 17 inclusion and 16 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Jun 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Zhenchuan Song, MD (18531117857, songzhch@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Total Pathological Complete Response Rate (time frame: At the time of surgery after completion of neoadjuvant therapy, approximately 24 weeks after treatment initiation). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT07635342, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Jun 2026.
