First seen Jan 06, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 23 times

Summary

This study tests whether adding a targeted drug (PD 0332991) to standard hormone therapy (anastrozole) before surgery can better stop breast cancer cell growth in women with early-stage ER+ HER2- breast cancer. About 84 participants will receive the combination for several weeks before their operation. The goal is to see if this approach leads to more complete tumor responses compared to hormone therapy alone.
