Summary
This study tested whether adding a drug called ATRA (all-trans retinoic acid) to the standard hormone therapy anastrozole could shrink tumors more effectively in postmenopausal women with a common type of early breast cancer (HR-positive/HER2-negative). The trial was planned for 76 participants and took place before their scheduled surgery. The study was terminated early, so results are limited.
