• Tumor size \> 1 cm to ≤ 3 cm assessed by ultrasound and clinically and radiographically node negative with no known metastatic disease.
• HER2+ BC as defined by American Society of Clinical Oncology-College of American Pathologists (ASCO-CAP) guidelines.31 Patients may have ER+ or ER- negative disease, as defined by ASCO-CAP guidelines.
• Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) must be within institutional limits of normal as assessed by echocardiogram (ECHO) or multigated acquisition (MUGA) scan, documented within 4 weeks prior to first dose of study drug.

Male subjects must agree not to donate sperm and female subjects must agree not to donate oocytes starting at screening and throughout the study period, and for at least 12 months after treatment discontinuation.
• Patient with reproductive potential must have a negative pregnancy test ≤3 days prior to the first dose of zanidatamab.

Exclusion criteria

• An individual who meets any of the following criteria will be excluded from participation in this study:
• Involvement in the planning and/or conduct of the study.
• Prior or concurrent malignancy whose natural history or treatment has the potential to interfere with the safety or efficacy assessment of the investigational regimen
• Has received therapy for this current diagnosis of BC including investigational therapy, endocrine therapy, targeted therapy, or chemotherapy, surgery or radiation.
• Mean QT interval corrected for heart rate (QTc) ≥ 470 ms.
• Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, active peptic ulcer disease or gastritis, active bleeding diatheses, , or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements or compromise the ability of the patient to give written informed consent.
• Female patients who are pregnant, breast-feeding, or of reproductive potential who are not employing an effective method of birth control.
• Patients with uncontrolled seizures.
• Any major surgery for any reason, within 4 weeks of the enrollment. Portacath placement will be allowed.
• Clinically significant cardiac disease such as ventricular arrhythmia requiring therapy, , myocardial infarction, unstable angina (within 6 months prior to first dose of study drug), any history of cardiac failure, and uncontrolled hypertension (defined as systolic blood pressure \> 150 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure \> 100 mmHg on antihypertensive medications).
• Known active Hepatitis B and/or Hepatitis C. Hepatitis testing is not required unless the patient has a history of Hepatitis B or C.
• Known to be HIV positive. HIV testing is not required for those patients who are not known to be positive.

Note: Subjects who are currently or have previously been on any of the following steroid regimens are not excluded:
• Adrenal replacement steroid (dose ≤10 mg daily of prednisone or equivalent)
• Topical, ocular, intra-articular, intranasal, or inhaled corticosteroid with minimal systemic absorption\\
• Short course (≤7 days) of corticosteroid prescribed prophylactically (e.g., for contrast dye allergy) or for the treatment of a non-autoimmune condition (e.g., delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction caused by contact allergen)
• History of life-threatening hypersensitivity to monoclonal antibodies or to recombinant proteins or excipients in the drug formulation
• Known distant metastatic disease including (CNS) metastases, symptomatic CNS metastases, and leptomeningeal disease (LMD).
• Acute or chronic uncontrolled renal disease, pancreatitis, or liver disease (with exception of subjects with Gilbert's Syndrome, asymptomatic gall stones, liver metastases, or stable chronic liver disease per investigator assessment)
• Symptomatic pulmonary embolism ≤28 days
• Administered a live vaccine ≤4 weeks prior to randomization. Patients can get COVID vaccine that are not alive before ot during the study period, with 48 hours between vaccine administration and investigation agent administration.
