- i. 12-lead electrocardiogram shows no abnormality or clinically insignificant changes requiring no medical intervention; ii. QTc interval ≤480 ms; iii. No history of torsades de pointes or other symptomatic QTc abnormalities; iv. Left-ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥50%.
- Adequate bone-marrow reserve: white blood cell count ≥3.0×10⁹/L; absolute neutrophil count ≥1.5×10⁹/L; platelet count ≥100×10⁹/L; hemoglobin ≥90 g/L.
- Adequate hepatic and renal function: AST and ALT ≤2.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN); alkaline phosphatase ≤2.5 × ULN; total bilirubin ≤1.5 × ULN; serum creatinine ≤1.5 × ULN.
- For pre-menopausal females or females without surgical sterilization: agree to use effective contraception during study treatment and for at least 6 months after the last dose of study treatment.
Exclusion 16
- Occult breast cancer, inflammatory breast cancer, Paget's disease of the breast, stage IV (metastatic) breast cancer, or bilateral breast cancer.
- Known hypersensitivity to active ingredients or other excipients of study drugs.
- Requirement for additional anti-tumor therapy (excluding ovarian function suppression) during neoadjuvant treatment, as judged by the investigator.
- Prior hormone-replacement therapy that has not been discontinued for at least 2 weeks before study treatment initiation.
- Previous history of anti-tumor chemotherapy, selective estrogen-receptor modulators, or aromatase inhibitor therapy.
- Severe cardiac diseases or conditions that would preclude tolerability of study treatment, including but not limited to:
- Life-threatening arrhythmias or higher-grade atrioventricular block (Mobitz type II second-degree or third-degree atrioventricular block); ii.
- Unstable angina pectoris; iii.
- Clinically significant valvular heart disease; iv.
- Electrocardiogram evidence of transmural myocardial infarction; v.
- Poorly controlled hypertension.
- Major surgery unrelated to breast cancer within 4 weeks prior to enrollment, or incomplete recovery from such surgical procedures.
- Severe or uncontrolled infections that may interfere with study treatment or outcome assessment, including but not limited to active viral hepatitis, positive human immunodeficiency virus antibody, pulmonary infection.
- History of other malignancies within the past 5 years (except cured carcinoma in-situ of cervix or basal-cell carcinoma of skin).
- Underlying gastrointestinal disorders (especially chronic diarrhea or constipation), inability to swallow, intestinal obstruction, or other conditions interfering with drug intake and absorption.
- Any other condition rendering the patient unsuitable for study participation, in the investigator's opinion
