SHR-A1811 Plus Pertuzumab as Neoadjuvant Therapy for Early or Locally Advanced HR-Positive HER2-Positive Breast Cancer: A Prospective, Open-Label, Phase II Study

December 14, 2025 updated by: Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital

Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women, with approximately 20% classified as HER2-positive. Anti-HER2 blockade (trastuzumab plus pertuzumab) combined with chemotherapy constitutes the standard neoadjuvant regimen; however, the pathological complete response (pCR) rate in the HR-positive subgroup remains only 35-40%, and platinum-containing schedules are associated with significant hematologic toxicity. Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) integrate targeted delivery with potent cytotoxic payloads. SHR-A1811 (ruikang-trastuzumab), a domestically developed ADC by Hengrui Pharmaceutical, is conjugated with a topoisomerase I inhibitor (mean drug-to-antibody ratio [DAR] ≈ 6). Preclinical data demonstrate that SHR-A1811 exhibits superior efficacy to trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) in both trastuzumab-sensitive and resistant HER2-expressing tumor models, with a manageable safety profile.

This prospective, open-label, phase II trial will enroll patients with early-stage/locally advanced HR-positive/HER2-positive breast cancer, who will receive neoadjuvant SHR-A1811 plus pertuzumab. At baseline, BluePrint gene profiling will be performed to stratify participants into luminal and non-luminal subtypes: patients with luminal subtype who achieve stable disease (SD) after 4 cycles will switch to a regimen of trastuzumab, pyrotinib, dalpiciclib, and an aromatase inhibitor for an additional 4 cycles; all other patients will continue ADC-based dual-target therapy for 2-4 further cycles, followed by surgical resection. Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) dynamics will be dynamically monitored at baseline, after 4 cycles of treatment, and preoperatively to evaluate early treatment sensitivity.

The primary endpoint is the pCR rate. Secondary endpoints include event-free survival (EFS), objective response rate (ORR), and safety profiles. Exploratory analyses will investigate the correlation between molecular subtypes and treatment responses, aiming to establish a chemotherapy-free, precision neoadjuvant strategy for HR-positive/HER2-positive breast cancer.

Experimental: SHR-A1811 + Pertuzumab Neoadjuvant Therapy for HER2+ HR+ Breast Cancer

All patients to be included in the analysis must undergo Blueprint genomic profiling before neoadjuvant therapy to define luminal and non-luminal molecular subtypes. After completing four cycles of neoadjuvant therapy with ruikang-trastuzumab plus pertuzumab, response is assessed by RECIST 1.1:

  1. Patients with stable disease (SD) and luminal subtype switch to a quadruplet regimen of trastuzumab, pyrotinib, dalpiciclib, and an aromatase inhibitor for a further four cycles.
  2. Patients achieving partial or complete response (PR/CR) and luminal subtype, as well as all non-luminal patients, continue ruikang-trastuzumab plus pertuzumab for an additional 2-4 cycles, tailored to individual clinical response, before undergoing surgery
Drug: SHR- A1811
SHR-A1811 4.8 mg/kg and pertuzumab 420 mg are administered intravenously every 3 weeks for 4 cycles as neoadjuvant therapy. Patients with luminal subtype and stable disease (SD) then switch to trastuzumab 6 mg/kg, pyrotinib 320 mg po daily, dalpiciclib 125 mg po days 1-21 of a 28-day cycle, plus an aromatase inhibitor for 4 additional cycles. All remaining patients (PR/CR luminal or any non-luminal) continue SHR-A1811 + pertuzumab for 2-4 more cycles before surgery. Treatment continues until progression, unacceptable toxicity, or surgical resection.

  • Pyrotinib
