Treatment: Trilaciclib · Epirubicin · Cyclophosphamide · Paclitaxel · Docetaxel · Carboplatin · Trastuzumab · PertuzumabThe goal of this multicenter, two-cohort, exploratory clinical trial is to evaluate patients with early stage hormone receptor-negative breast cancer receiving standard adjuvant chemotherapy after surgery. The main question it aims to answer is: • The efficacy and safety of trilaciclib administered before standard adjuvant chemotherapy regimen using the incidence of grade 3/4 neutropenia as the primary efficacy endpoint. Participants will divide into two treatment cohorts according to molecular typing type: * Cohort A will be planned to include post-operative triple-negative breast cancer(TNBC) patients with lymph node positive or tumor \> 2 cm treated with trilaciclib combined with epirubicin and cyclophosphamide followed by weekly paclitaxel; * Cohort B will be planned to include HER2-positive/HR-negative breast cancer patients with axillary node positive or tumor \> 2 cm treated with trilaciclib combined with docetaxel, carboplatin and trastuzumab with or without pertuzumab.

Frequently asked questions

Is NCT05978648 currently recruiting?

Yes, this trial is currently recruiting patients.

Can patients have received prior systemic therapy?

No. This trial requires treatment-naive patients — prior systemic therapy is an exclusion criterion.

Does this trial require ESR1?

Yes, ESR1 negative (< 1% nuclear staining by IHC) is a required biomarker for enrollment.

Does this trial require PGR?

Yes, PGR negative (< 1% nuclear staining by IHC) is a required biomarker for enrollment.

Does this trial require ERBB2?

Yes, ERBB2 negative (HER2/CEP17 ratio < 2.0 or mean HER2 gene copy number < 4 signals/nucleus detected by IHC 0 or 1+ or ISH) is a required biomarker for enrollment.
