This study is a single-center, prospective, open-label exploratory clinical study to assess the efficacy and safety of kumorixilib combined with capecitabine and letrozole as neoadjuvant therapy in patients with HR+/HER2- stage II-III invasive breast cancer. The study plans to enroll 35 eligible patients, and all participants will receive the triple-drug combination regimen without randomization. The treatment regimen: kumorixilib 180 mg orally once daily, capecitabine 500 mg orally three times daily, and letrozole 2.5 mg orally once daily; each cycle lasts 28 days, for a total of 6 cycles. Breast MRI will be used to evaluate radiological tumor response. Surgical resection will be arranged 2-4 weeks after neoadjuvant treatment ends. The primary endpoint is the percentage change in Ki-67 score from baseline to Cycle 1 Day 28. Secondary endpoints include the complete cell cycle arrest rate (CCCA, Ki-67 ≤ 2.7%) on Day 28, the reduction rate of functional tumor volume (FTV), the proportion of patients with RCB 0-1, objective response rate (ORR), and treatment safety. Treatment will be discontinued upon disease progression, intolerable adverse events, withdrawal of consent, or investigator judgment.

Percentage change in Ki-67 score from baseline to Cycle 1 Day 28
The percentage reduction of Ki-67 proliferation index in tumor tissue between baseline and Cycle 1 Day 28 after treatment initiation.
Time frame: At the end of Cycle 1 (each cycle is 28 days)
Complete cell cycle arrest (CCCA) rate at Cycle 1 Day 28
Proportion of patients with Ki-67 ≤ 2.7% in tumor tissue at Cycle 1 Day 28
Time frame: At the end of Cycle 1 (each cycle is 28 days)
Reduction rate of functional tumor volume (FTV)
Percentage shrinkage of functional tumor volume measured by breast MRI
Time frame: At the end of Cycle 6 (each cycle is 28 days), before breast surgery
Incidence of Residual Cancer Burden (RCB) 0-1
Proportion of patients with RCB grade 0 or 1 on postoperative pathological specimen
Time frame: After surgical resection (end of neoadjuvant treatment)
Objective Response Rate (ORR)
Proportion of patients achieving complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) assessed by breast MRI
Time frame: At the end of Cycle 6 (each cycle is 28 days), before breast surgery
Treatment-related adverse events
Incidence and severity of all adverse events related to study treatment
Time frame: From treatment initiation up to 30 days after the last dose
