1. Written informed consent and any locally-required authorization (e.g., HIPAA in the USA, EU Data Privacy Directive in the EU) obtained from the subject prior to performing any protocol-related procedures, including screening evaluations 2. Female aged > 18 years at time of study entry. 3. Patient has T1, N1 or T2-T3 any N, M0, operable breast cancer 4. Confirmed invasive ductal, lobular, mixed or medullary breast carcinoma 5. TNBC defined as negative oestrogen and progesterone receptors as per local laboratory testing and negative HER2 defined as negative ISH test or and IHC status of 0 or 1+ as per local laboratory testing 6. Luminal B HER2 negative BC defined as positive oestrogen and/or progesterone receptors, a negative HER2 defined as negative ISH test or and IHC status of 0 or 1+ as per local laboratory testing and a Ki67 > 14%. 7. World Health Organisation (WHO) performance status of 0 or 1 8. Adequate normal organ and marrow function as defined below: a. Haemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g/dL b. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 x 109/L (> 1500 per mm3) c. Platelet count ≥ 100 x 109/L (>100,000 per mm3) d. Serum bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN). This will not apply to subjects with confirmed Gilbert’s syndrome (persistent or recurrent hyperbilirubinemia that is predominantly unconjugated in the absence of haemolysis or hepatic pathology). AST (SGOT)/ALT (SGPT) ≤ 2.5 x institutional upper limit Serum creatinine CL>40 mL/min by the Cockcroft-Gault formula (Cockcroft and Gault 1976) or by 24-hour urine collection for determination of creatinine clearance: creatinine CL (mL⁄min)=(Weight (kg) ×(140 – Age))/( 72 × serum creatinine (mg⁄dL))×0.85 9. Subjects must either be postmenopausal or must have a negative serum pregnancy test upon study entry. Women will be considered postmenopausal if they are: a. post-menopausal by history: ≥ 60 years old and no menses for 1 year without an alternative medical cause b. OR history of hysterectomy c. OR history of bilateral tubal ligation d. OR history of bilateral oophorectomy 10. Subject is willing and able to comply with the protocol for the duration of the study including undergoing treatment and scheduled visits and examinations including follow up.
