NCT ID NCT03202316

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 35 times

Summary

This phase II trial tests whether combining an immunotherapy (atezolizumab), a targeted therapy (cobimetinib), and a chemotherapy (eribulin) can shrink tumors in people with inflammatory breast cancer that has returned or spread. About 37 participants will receive either the triple combo or a double combo (atezolizumab plus eribulin). The main goal is to see how many patients respond, while also monitoring side effects.
