Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.

Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

Researchers are testing a new oral drug called rintodestrant (G1T48) in women with advanced breast cancer that is estrogen receptor-positive and HER2-negative. The trial gives the drug alone or with palbociclib, a standard breast cancer medicine. The main goals are to find a safe dose and see how the body processes the drug. The study also looks at whether tumors respond.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
rintodestrant (G1T48), an oral selective estrogen receptor degrader, alone and with palbociclib
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer an oral alternative to injected SERDs for advanced breast cancer and a new combination strategy with palbociclib.
What could go wrong
This is a small phase 1 trial, so the main goal is to find a safe dose. The drug may not shrink tumors, and combining it with palbociclib could add side effects.
