Overall survival (OS)	OS is defined as the time from the date of randomisation until the date of death due to any cause.	Date of randomization to date of death due to any cause, up to 5 years after the last subject randomized
Adverse events	To evaluate safety including adverse event rate and adverse event grade	Up to approximately 2 months after surgery
Change in cluster of differentiation 8 (CD8)	CD8 in tumor samples by biopsy at baseline and by surgery immediately after surgery would be evaluated by HE or immune staining.	At baseline to surgery

Scale scores range from 0-100. For functioning and global health status/ QoL scales, higher scores indicate better functioning or global health status/QoL. For symptom scales, higher scores indicate greater symptom burden	Up to approximately 2 years
Residual cancer burden score	According to the extent of the residual cancer in the primary breast cancer site (mm*mm), the residual cancer (mm*mm), cell density of residual cancer (%), proportion of carcinoma in situ (%), number of positive lymph nodes and maximum diameter of lymph node metastasis (mm), the RCB index and corresponding RCB classification can be obtained. The RCB index and the corresponding RCB grade can be obtained based on the maximum diameter of the cancer (mm).	1 month after surgery
