Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age 18 - 75 years; 2. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score status 0-1. 3. Histologically confirmed invasive breast carcinoma with a primary tumor size of more than (\>) 2 centimeters (cm) by standard local assessment technique; Breast cancer stage at presentation: early-stage (T2-3, N0-1, M0) or locally advanced (T2-3, N2 or N3, M0; T4, any N, M0); 4. HER2-positive breast cancer confirmed by immunohistochemistry or HER2 gene amplification by in situ hybridization; 5. Known estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PgR) status. 6. Has adequate bone marrow, renal, hepatic and blood clotting functions. 7. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥50 percent (%). 8. Women of childbearing potential and men with partners of childbearing potential must agree to use a highly effective form of contraception or avoid intercourse during and upon completion of the study and after the last dose for at least 7 months. Negative serum or urine pregnancy test within 7 days before study enrollment. 9. Willing to provide tissue for research purposes. 10.

Patients with breast cancer who have previously received anti-tumor therapy. 4. Occurred or present with other malignant tumors within 5 years. Patients with the following two conditions can be enrolled: other malignancies treated with a single operation, achieving continuous 5-year disease-free survival (DFS); Cured cervical carcinoma in situ, non-melanoma skin cancer and superficial bladder tumors \[Ta (non-invasive tumor), Tis (cancer in situ) and T1 (tumor infiltrating basal membrane)\]; 5. Subjects had participated in clinical trials of other antineoplastic drugs within 4 weeks before the group; 6. Has uncontrolled or significant cardiovascular disease. 7.
