Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: TCbHP; 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	Drug: TCbHP VS ddEC-THP; The efficacy was evaluated every two cycles, and the effective patients (CR, PR, SD) were treated with surgery after 6 cycles. If treatment does not work, change the treatment plan according to the clinician's decision.

If treatment does not work, change the treatment plan according to the clinician's decision.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
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	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.	Up to approximately 24 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Event-Free Survival (EFS)	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.	Up to approximately 3 years
Invasive Disease-Free Survival (iDFS)	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.	Up to approximately 3 years
Overall survival (OS)	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.	Up to approximately 3 years
