* Neoadjuvant palbociclib + letrozole (plus goserelin if premenopausal) + trastuzumab for a total of 16 weeks, consisting of (4) 28-day cycles
* Definitive surgery will be performed preferably within 6 weeks after the end of Cycle 4. Letrozole and trastuzumab will continue until the day of surgery. Letrozole will continue to be taken daily and trastuzumab will be given every 3 weeks per standard of care guidelines. Adjuvant therapy following definitive surgery will be at the discretion of the treating physician

Palbociclib is an oral drug given at a dose of 125 mg daily on Days 1-21 of each 28-day cycle for a total of 4 cycles.

Letrozole is an oral drug given at a dose of 2.5 mg orally once a day. It will be taken continuously (Days 1-28 of each cycle) until the day of definitive surgery.

* Or FDA approved biosimilar
* Trastuzumab will be administered on a weekly basis for 16 weeks (on Days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of each 28-day cycle for a total of 4 cycles). The first dose of trastuzumab on Cycle 1 Day 1 will be a loading dose of 4 mg/kg IVPB over 90 minutes. Subsequent doses of trastuzumab will be 2 mg/kg IVPB over 30 minutes. Weekly trastuzumab will continue after the completion of Cycle 4 of palbociclib until surgery.

Goserelin is given subcutaneously at a dose of 3.6 mg on Day 1 of each cycle. Goserelin will be continued (once every 28-days) after the completion of Cycle 4 of palbociclib if required.

The investigators propose to influence estrogen receptor (ER) signaling by combining endocrine therapy with CDK4/6 inhibition along with trastuzumab in ER+/ human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)+ early stage breast cancer.

Neoadjuvant Study of Palbociclib in Combination With Letrozole and Trastuzumab in Stage II-III ER+ HER2+ Breast Cancer

A Phase II Neoadjuvant Study of Palbociclib in Combination With Letrozole and Trastuzumab as Neoadjuvant Treatment of Stage II-III ER+ HER2+ Breast Cancer (PALTAN)

A pathologic complete response (pCR) is defined as no histology evidence of invasive tumor cells in the surgical breast specimen and sentinel or axillary lymph nodes.

-The descriptions and grading scales found in the revised NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0 will be utilized for all toxicity reporting.

* Answers ranging from None to Very Severe (none=0 to very severe=4); Not at All to Very Much (not at all=0 to very much=4), Never to Almost Constantly (0=never to almost constantly=4)
* PRO-CTCAE responses are scored from 0 to 4, and there are no standardized scoring rules yet established for how to combine attributes into a single score or how best to analyze PRO-CTCAE data longitudinally.
* PRO-CTCAE scores for each attribute (frequency, severity and/or interference) will be presented descriptively
